In this article we present six tales in Arabic from Oran that were recorded from an informant aged about 78 years old on 14 May 2024, a native of Oran. They are types ATU 51, ATU 159B, ATU 883B-ATU 123, ATU 925, ATU 1351B and ATU 1804B. In a second part, we present the most relevant linguistic features. Finally, we have included an appendix with the six tales, both in the original language, in international phonetic transcription, and translated to Spanish.
