The frame tale behind these tags comes from One Thousand and One Nights, the collection of Middle Eastern folk tales where Shahrazad tells a new story each night to King Shahrayar to postpone her fate. Baghdad features in several of its best known tales as a city of merchants, caliphs and wonders. Online, clips with this flavour are shared as instant atmosphere for Arabian settings, storytime videos and fantasy edits, because a few seconds of this style immediately signals an old tale beginning somewhere far away and long ago.
