Arabian nights have nothing on this chap, who has taken to Middle Eastern streets decked out as Aladdin - complete with his own magic carpet.
The fun-loving fez wearer was the talk of Israel when he took to city streets complete with his own mythical rug. And he quickly became a viral hero, with fans sharing pictures and video of him wooshing around on his tasselled transport in regal purple.
Thanks to his harem trousers and nifty violet waistcoat, he drew comparisons to the star of the 1992 animated Disney film.
The original Aladdin was a popular Middle East story retold as Arabian Nights.
The broke young man hooks up with the genie of the lamp and has his wishes granted - but his route to success is not as straightforward as all that. The modern day Aladdin filmed for Facebook has been praised for his commitment and investment in getting the outfit together.
One poster wrote: "lol awesome," while another added, "[He] forgot to bring you a magic lamp."
Last year American Mo Khan was filmed on a Vine alongside traffic, shopping in a supermarket and picking up a meal at a drive-through on his segway with a red carpet on it.
