Frequently asked
What story does Ali Baba come from?
Ali Baba appears in 'Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves,' one of the most famous tales from The Arabian Nights (also called One Thousand and One Nights). Surprisingly, this story wasn't in the original Arabic collection but was added by French translator Antoine Galland in the early 1700s.
Why does Ali Baba say 'Open Sesame' to open the cave?
Ali Baba learned the magic phrase by hiding and watching the forty thieves enter their secret treasure cave. The word 'sesame' was chosen because sesame pods burst open when ripe, symbolically representing the cave door opening to reveal hidden riches inside.
What happens when Ali Baba first enters the treasure cave?
When Ali Baba enters the cave, he discovers incredible wealth: gold coins, precious jewels, silk fabrics, and treasures from many lands. Being modest and wise, he only takes a small amount of gold so the thieves won't notice anything missing.
