"Khatibi’s masterful retelling of the events assembled between its pages creates a perfect mosaic rendered with the insight of a social novelist whose feet are planted in the heart of reality and whose symbols take flight with the imagination." BANIPAL"The End of the Sahara exhibits imaginative characteristics, stylistic originality, and narrative proficiency in the genre of detective literature. . . [and] is distinguished by its eloquence and seamless flow.” Sheikh Zayed Book Award--Young Author Prize in 2023
