Truth about the Middle East is exactly what CNN shows on its network except they leave out about ninety percent of information that is all about the fun things in that region. The best way to appreciate it is to experience living there. The fun starts the moment you arrive in one of the Middle east countries and hit the freeway and the first sign you come across is likely to be, 'Beware of Road Surprises' and then fun begins from there on. Arabian people have an uncanny ability to turn everything into a dramatic and story worthy event and all one has to do is to watch and enjoy provided of course you maintain a sense of humor.
Simply imagine that you are there and let the stories in this book take you through the ups and downs of living in Arabia. Come live the nightmares of Arabia with me.

Desert SongEither I'm getting into Narendra Simone's head or he is getting into mine because I had a chance to review his "1001 Arabian Nightmares" and I found it to be an absolute scream. The thing about the area, Simone notes between the lines, is that once you are there you have to suspend your state of belief in anything amounting to anything you knew and then learn to live with a new atmosphere. Here's a place where folks cruise along in their huge SUVs and honk you out of the way with their headcoverings flapping out the windows covering everything to the rear, a cellphone pressed to that ear and a rearview aimed just so the driver can see himself. Or, how about a place where you can buy alcohol (the UAE, according to this book) and drink, just don't try having a normal conversation about it. And, then there's the one I liked about the guy driving with his wife at a slow 105 trying to change lanes where he nicks an even-slower driving policeman who is doing about 100. Well, the wife puts on her "I told you so look," as the rather large uniformed officer straightens himself out, after stopping the Westerner. They exchange proper greetings -- probably surprising the policeman -- have a discussion about veering and they are both off, with no more said? Huh? Having now read several of Simone's books -- he is really establishing an excellent reputation, I couldn't help but chuckle at the 41 chapters of "nightmares" that are just some weirdly wonderful stories. Simone is at least that, a great story-tellerProduct details

1001 Arabian Nightmares edition by Narendra Simone Humor Entertainment eBooks Reviews
It is one of those books I would like to share with everyone and yet I want to save in my collection for a long long time. It reminded me that with a positive attitude, even the most frustrating experiences can be enjoyed.
A fresh, funny perspective of living in the Middle East. These short comedic stories showcase the humour found when dealing with everyday occurrences. Naren's personal experiences bring to light the puzzling, eye-brow raising, and surprising moments that one can experience. Escape within his wit, adventures and creative writing as you experience the lighter side of living in the Middle East.
If you've ever wondered what it would be like to move and immerse yourself in a completely new culture, you've likely been told horror stories about adapting and living within that culture. 1001 Arabian Nightmares is not about horror. It is funny, fresh and charming. A delightful read for those seeking true-life advice and the merely curious alike. The author relays and accepts situations of everyday life in Arabia with a sense of humour and wonder that makes you feel adventurous and like to trying it yourself. These stories make me hope that new immigrants and visitors to my culture (Canadian) can laugh and maintain dignity while adapting to the funny way we do things here too. Nicely done.
This was my second Narendra Simone novel and another that ticks the boxes for me. The title is a little misleading perhaps as it is not full of gory murders or anything that is considered to be "horror". It is not one continuous story either but split in to 41 short stories of life in the Middle East. Packed with humor, it offers a different viewpoint on life and is all the better for doing so.
If you have never stayed for a prolonged period in a very different culture and society to the one you are used to then this will open your eyes and hopefully help you appreciate that when people from outside your culture and society look at how your life your life, how strange it must appear to them. A good advertisement for a "live and let live philosophy" and not assume we all think alike.
A book you will pick up more than once I am certain.
Author Narendra Simone's book titled 1001 ARABIAN NIGHTMARES is an intriguing account on what one can expect when traveling in the Middle East.
With the use of wit and humor, the author shares the unusual customs and ways of life that is foreign to outsiders. Some of these customs are a very pleasant experience where as others can be considered unpleasant.
The first custom is to be aware of is that there are dozens of unwritten local laws. This should give a good indication of what you will find throughout the book.
One custom that I find very little logic in is the greeting before any type of business. This includes when the police stop a driver for speeding. A five minute greeting?
The reader will definitely find themselves chuckling as they read this book. So if you are looking for culture and humor check this book out.
Let me tell you how 1001 Arabian Nightmares was so different from all the book that I have read so far but let's discuss a couple minor issues first before we go to the good stuff. Since the topics wasn't really my thing I had a hard time getting into the story - flow and pace wise. It took me a longer time to read some of the parts but when you get used to it, you'll enjoy it as much as I did. Another thing is that I get that the author wanted this to be entertaining but there are some parts of the book that I felt was overdone. It's mostly the last sentences of each chapter but I think it's the author's style so I got used to that too. Getting passed those too - this book is so much fun to read and can be a good book to pass time.
Now here are the good parts of the story. First, since I don't really read these kinds of books the title and cover can be very intriguing. That alone gave the surprise themoment you jump into the story/ies. I enjoyed and laughed out silly most nights. Second, in connection to my first point, 1001 Arabian Nightmare was different. It gave me the feeling of reading "the inside scoop" of what it really meant to live in the Middle East without all those sugar coating. It was like seeing the backstage if you know what I mean. Each story is broken down into short stories that are random yet interconnected with each other so you wouldn't be bored since you'll jump from one thing to another. And most importantly, it was super entertaining.
I highly recommend that you give this story a chance, you wouldn't be disappointed.
