According to Wikipedia[2], the stories are a late addition to the Thousand and One Nights cycle, only appearing as an independent cycle in 18th- and 19th-century collections. Sinbad is said to hail from Baghdad and was active during the early Abbasid Caliphate (8th and 9th centuries A.D.). In the course of seven voyages throughout the seas east of Africa and south of Asia, he has fantastic adventures in magical realms, encountering monsters and witnessing supernatural phenomena.
