Goodreads Synopsis:
Inspired by the stories
of Sinbad and One Thousand and One Nights, Aladdin and Alibaba fight
epic battles, journey to far-off lands, and search for the secrets of
King Solomon and the mysterious dungeons.
Deep within the desert lie the mysterious Dungeons, vast stores of riches there for the taking by anyone lucky enough to find them and brave enough to venture into the depths from where few have ever returned. Plucky young adventurer Aladdin means to find the Dungeons and their riches, but Aladdin may be just as mysterious as the treasures he seeks.
Now that the battle for Magnoshutatt is over, Aladdin, Alibaba and Morgiana return to Sindria. Familiar faces welcome them, as well as a few surprising characters! As a larger conflict with the Kou Empire looms, the various sides agree to a world summit. But before that, Alibaba returns to Balbadd to find that things in his homeland have changed drastically.

Review:
The gang reunites for a short time in this volume, with some even
older characters. There's much teasing, and even a little lying to
appear more mature.
Then Alibaba and his younger gang of followers depart, and Morgiana tags
along as well. There's some rather big misunderstandings between
Alibaba and Morgiana, and it causes some self-esteem loss for
Alibaba. And then they arrive in Alibaba's home town, and everything
is different, which makes him uneasy. It's interesting to see how
Alibaba handles it, and how he decides to do something about it.
I'm not all that into this series, and I'm only vaguely following
along. Aside from the main plot, though, I don't mind the characters,
and the humor is all right, and I think the art style fits the humor
rather well.
