If Disney are searching for cultural authenticity in Aladdin, they are on fool's errand. The stories in A Thousand and One Nights were cribbed from all over the place - like someone said earlier, Aladdin is probably supposed to be Chinese.
On top of that, their version is more Broadway than anything, and it's set in a culturally weird, fictitious location, based on a story that probably doesn't reflect any kind of geographical reality in the first place.
