Sinbad the Sailor (/ˈsɪnbæd/; Arabic: السندباد البحري‎, romanized: as-Sindibādu al-Baḥriyy; or Sindbad) is a fictional mariner and the hero of a story-cycle of Middle Eastern origin. He is described as hailing from Baghdad 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.
Like the 1001 Nights, the Sinbad story-cycle has a frame story which goes as follows: in the days of Harun al-Rashid, Caliph of Baghdad, a poor porter (one who carries goods for others in the market and throughout the city) pauses to rest on a bench outside the gate of a rich merchant's house, where he complains to Allah about the injustice of a world which allows the rich to live in ease while he must toil and yet remain poor.
The owner of the house hears and sends for the porter, finding that they are both named Sinbad.
The rich Sinbad tells the poor Sinbad that he became wealthy "by Fortune and Fate" in the course of seven wondrous voyages, which he then proceeds to relate.

First Voyage of Sinbad :

After dissipating the wealth left to him by his father, Sinbad goes to sea to repair his fortune.
He sets ashore on what appears to be an island, but this island proves to be a gigantic sleeping whale on which trees have taken root ever since the whale was young.
Awakened by a fire kindled by the sailors, the whale dives into the depths, the ship departs without Sinbad, and Sinbad is saved by the chance of a passing wooden trough sent by the grace of Allah.
He has washed ashore on a densely wooded island.
While exploring the deserted island he comes across one of the king's grooms.
When Sinbad helps save the King's mare from being drowned by a sea horse (not a seahorse as we know it, but a supernatural horse that lives underwater), the groom brings Sinbad to the king.
The king befriends Sinbad and so he rises in the king's favor and becomes a trusted courtier.
One day, the very ship on which Sinbad set sail docks at the island, and he reclaims his goods (still in the ship's hold).
Sinbad gives the king his goods and in return, the king gives him rich presents.
Sinbad sells these presents for a great profit.
Sinbad returns to Baghdad where he resumes a life of ease and pleasure.
With the ending of the tale, Sinbad the sailor makes Sinbad the porter a gift of a hundred gold pieces and bids him return the next day to hear more about his adventures.
