About us/Our Mission:

When one thinks "The Orient", one usually limits one's reference to thinking of Thailand, Indonesia, parts of India perhaps, and so on... Properly, however, the meaning of "Orient" should be much wider, as the concept covers much more, and includes some Arab countries. Just to remind you: the famous Orient Express - its destination was Turkey and Syria!
Arabian Nights Imports was created to bring you the harvest of extensive travels and searches for the most interesting and valuable, high-quality artifacts, hand-crafted furniture, hand-made silks, and other fine items from exotic Arabia - the less explored part of the Orient.

We believe that their beauty and quality are simply unmatched by any other similar items available on our market. As one collector said after examining our fine furniture - "these pieces are made to become precious antiques one day".
Our management is composed of a group of dedicated professional people, enthusiastic about their work. An artist, an experienced art historian, a belly dancer enthusiast devoted to Oriental, Middle Eastern culture and tradition, together make up this excellent team, which enables us to make our purchasing decisions knowledgeably, with the necessary expertise. This works directly to benefit You - the end user.

Customers' comments:
"
Hi,
I am from Damascus and still found some unique items on your website. You have very good selection.
Thanks, B.C."

"Hi Derek,
The set arrived and is gorgeous…thank the artisans in Syria on my behalf, and to those who packed and crated the table and chairs. I saw three of the crates fall from 12 feet and the forklift go under the top of the tabletop’s crate, and there was no damage…
Thanks again for making such fine art available.
A.S."                                        See more customers' comments here!


It is also our desire to use our store and Web site to promote the fine Middle-Eastern arts. At the same time, our sales will actively help selected artists and craftsmen in poor Arab countries to continue their work and to keep the traditional crafts alive. We trade their merchandise fairly, without middlemen, which gives you the assurance that your purchases "will make a difference".


We are proud to sponsor our local belly dance events, offering our back garden space for performances. Above: Opening evening of dance in our summer garden, in old Fort St. location.
