In Arabian Nights (subtitled "A caravan of Moroccan dreams") is a travel book by Anglo-Afghan author Tahir Shah illustrated by Laetitia Bermejo.

Shah frequents the Café Mabrook, which becomes for him the "gateway into the clandestine world of Moroccan men"[2] and is told "if you really want to get to know us, then root out the raconteurs".

He encounters professional storytellers, a junk merchant who sells his wares for nothing, but insists on a high payment for the tale attached to each item and a door to door salesman who can obtain anything, including, when Shah requests the first "Benares" edition of A Thousand and One Nights by Richard Burton, a translation that the author's father Idries Shah had once given away.

As he makes his way through the labyrinthine medinas of Fez and Marrakech, traverses the Sahara sands, and tastes the hospitality of ordinary Moroccans, he collects a treasury of stories, gleaned from the heritage of A Thousand and One Nights.

The tales, recounted by a vivid cast of characters, reveal fragments of wisdom and an oriental way of thinking.
