Event 054 Friday 8 March 15:00-16:00Al KhaymaKamal Abdel-Malek and Alexander McNabb originate from different parts of the world but now live in Dubai and have both written about dynamic and historically contested cities of the Middle East.

Kamal, an Egyptian professor of Arabic Literature, has recently explored two sides of the Arab-Jewish conflict through his first work of fiction: Come With Me From Jerusalem. British PR Director, blogger and author Alexander McNabb’s Beirut - An Explosive Thriller is a fast-paced international spy adventure, the second in his Levant trilogy.

The other thing these men have in common is that they like to talk – don’t miss this locally-based duo in discussion about their two fictionalised cities.
