Hey everyone. I’ve recently been trying to connect more with my culture and roots. I’m middle eastern and was hoping to get some book suggestions on adventures in the Middle East. Bedouin vibes per se. I’d prefer fiction but if there are great non fiction books written like a novel I’m open to that as well
Thanks!
