STORIES IN SAND THE ARABIAN NIGHTS

A visual journey through the stories of the Arabian Nights told with words and sand sculpture. Prepare to be wowed.

Sinbad the Sailor and Sinbad the Porter

It is so unique to have a landscape as a sand sculpture. Benjamin Probanza lent his surreal touch to this amazing depiction from Sinbad’s Third Voyage.

Turning away from the sea, we wandered miserably inland. We saw in the far distance what seemed to be a splendid palace. When we reached it we saw it was a lofty and strongly built castle. Pushing back the heavy ebony doors, we entered the courtyard. On one side lay a huge pile of human bones, and on the other, large spits for roasting. The door violently burst open, and a horrible giant entered. He was as tall as a palm tree, perfectly black, and had one eye flaming like a burning coal in the middle of his forehead. His teeth were long and sharp, and he grinned horribly while his lower lip hung down upon his chest, and he had ears like elephant’s ears, which covered his shoulders, and nails like the claws of some fierce bird.
