Okay I haven't read the manga in it's entirety just yet but I have watched the anime and I'm a bit of a timeline freak, I just like knowing that the dates add up properly (they actually do for this series). Basically the anime covers about 2 years worth of content based on what I gleaned from the character pages and such.

Now as far as I know you are only told the character ages in interveiws, extra chapters and the official character encyclopedia, so I'm going to break down the timeline for you so that you can have a more precise timeline for your story.

Episodes 1-3 take place over the course of a few days (5 at max) but from episode 3 to 7 there is a 6 month gap. In between that time Aladdin spends less than a week with the Kouga Clan and about 1 month after capturing Amon and freeing the slaves Alibaba goes back to Balbadd. Towards the end of the 6 months Aladdin is captured as a slave and runs into Morgiana again. They travel to Balbadd together (probably takes a month, so they met around 5 months after Amon).

The Balbadd arc takes about 5 days. After that Sinbad ships Alibaba and co. to Sindria and doesn't see them for 6 months b/c of negotiations w/ Kou. Then we have the Sindria arc, about 5 days again. The Zagan arc was like 6 days or so (depends how long the trip took, but no longer than 2 weeks. Time is weird in dungeons). The second Sindria arc is longer in the manga I think, but in the anime I would say it's about 2 weeks (counting time for Dunya to wake up).

The Pirates arc (Ep3-6 of S2) was around 4 days. Aladdin's trip to Magnostadt was like 10 days. He is in school for 2 months before we see what is happening with Alibaba and Morgiana (they both don't have very clear time frames).

After we see Yunan's talk w/ Mor, Kouha leaves Magnostadt for Kou and arrives at least a week or 2 later. Between Ep12 and 13 of S2 Aladdin finishes the school year (so 10 months on top of those first 2). Basically Ep7 to 13 take place over 1 year.

Then Ep13 to 18 is around 3 weeks (counting travel time for Reim forces). Ep18 to the end is actually 2 days (1 day Reim fights and that night Scherazade talks to Aladdin, day 2 Kou arrives and they battle medium (this starts at dawn)).

Adding all this you actaully get around a year from Amon to Sindria 1. Then another year b/t World Exploration and Magnostadt. Everything in between is like 4 months. So your total is 2 years, 4 months.

Hope this helps :)
