Cities of Salt is an Arabic novel by the Saudi novelist Abd al-Rahman al-Munif. It is one of the most famous Arabic novels. This novel consists of five parts.
The novel depicts life with the beginning of the discovery of oil and the rapid transformations that befell the cities and villages of the Arabian Peninsula due to the discovery of oil.
It represents a quantum leap in the historical narration and personal historiography of an era that many of the new generation find an incomplete picture that misses describing what is after that stage or the present in a rosy, but also incomplete way. Cities of Salt is an important document that speaks and chronicles the civilizational winds that blew on Bedouin life, which undoubtedly affected Bedouin life.
