Most known these days is the Walt Disney account of the flying magical carpet ride from Aladdin. Taken high over Agrabah, Jasmine and Aladdin begin to fall in love. The magic carpet in this Disney portrayal does not portend to Aladdin’s power, but serves as a guide to future riches and success. It is the carpet that leads him and his trusty monkey into a cave full of gold and jewels. It is also the carpet that helps him woo and, ultimately win the heart of the Sultan’s daughter.
