Which Muslim country has the most 'Arabian Nights' feel to it? I want Bazaars, magic lamps, fancy carpets, dancing girls, attractive mosques, cool swords etc. I dont really want women in burqas or boring fundie shit.
>>2732403istanbul in turkey will give it to youyou want 'ottoman larp'turks love ottoman larp
>>2732403Turkey eh
>>2732403Oman
>>2732403Uzbekistan and Iran are the closest I can think of, and I can attest to that since I've been to both.Khiva is probably the closest to your description. I feel like that city was purposely built for that Arabian Nights aesthetic, but it's definitely a must visit place. Bukhara & Samarkand are also not to be missed.However if you're not a burger or any of the sanctioned countries, Isfahan in Iran definitely takes the title. Not only is it bigger than Khiva, there are more sights to see & just spending a day sitting in Naqsh-e Jahan Square feels like you're in that fantasy.
>>2732403Study the history of the gunpowder empires, you’ll notice important cities with names you’ve never heard of. Check em out on google maps and odds are they will have the feel you’re looking for, much more than a city that’s been constantly developed and modernized.Please share cool spots if you find something anon :)That, or practice your muzzie larp and infiltrate Mecca/Medina
>>2732403>dancing girlsthat's harram, pal. everything else you will find in Fez Morocco
>>2734765mecca is not arabian nights larp, it is just a mass conveyor belt for pilgrim niggercattle and is all fucked up by rich saudis exploiting everything
>>2734769I read a lot of Paul Bowles novels before I visited Morocco; crazy how nothing seems to have changed there since the '50s.
