Read my story in Mudun: An Anthology
What makes a city? What defines it? Who are its people? In the Middle East, the answer is contentious. I grew up in Dubai, a city I called my home, but never could claim it confidently. When Barjeel Art Foundation invited stories centered on Arab cities, I took a chance on myself. The anthology, published in October 2024 in print format by Kaph Books (an independent publisher based in Lebanon and Dubai), contains stories in English and Arabic. I am proud to say, one of the stories is mine. You can read more about the competition here . You can buy a copy here .
