Does anyone know whether Cities of Salt” by Abdelrahman Munif is set in Jordan? Thanks for the information.
If I remember correctly, Munif never mentions what nation his story takes place in, just that it takes place in on the Arabian peninsula. I interpreted it to be referencing Saudi Arabia.
Thank you for the info. Do you have any favorites from Jordan?
