Welcome to Agrabah!

The Magic Carpets of Aladdin is a semi-exotic version of the Dumbo ride in Fantasyland. In this ride, guests sit in magic carpets and fly high above Adventureland. This ride offers fun views of Adventureland and the attractions within it.

Each ride vehicle has two rows. One row controls the tilt (upwards or downwards) and the other row controls the upward/downward motion of the carpet. Below is a picture of (the back row of) one of the carpets.

This is a completely family friendly ride, although some people (both young and old) may not like the height, even though it isn't too high! This is a perfect alternative for the long lines on Dumbo!

Look out for the camels positioned around the ride - they spit! A bit of trivia, these camels were first seen in the parade "Aladdin's Royal Caravan Parade" at Disney's MGM studios. After that parade ended, the camels were relocated to the Soundstage restaurant also at Disney's MGM studios. Here is a picture of one of the camels.
