Description

In this episode, we continue our exploration of the One Thousand and One Nights with the continuation of the story of “The Story of Sultan ‘Umar ibn al-Nu’man and his sons Sharkhan and Dau’ al-Makan and the strange and remarkable things that happened to them” with the continuation of Night 50 and the beginning of Night 51.

We continue with the adventure that Sharkhan and the princess Abrizah are on and learn her backstory of why she was in the monastery and why Sultan ‘Umar was asked by the King of Constantinople to help wage war against the King of Caesarea, the father of Abrizah.

Furthermore, we also learn the backstory of Sufiyeh, the concubine of Sultan ‘Umar and mother of Dau' al-Makan and Nuzhat al-Zaman and how she was given to him.

Stay tuned as this epic story continues to be an exciting and fascinating listen!
