The novel is the survival of Najib, who arrives in Saudi Arabia to work as a sheep herder and is left alone in the desert. The novel was published in 2008, based on what he heard from Benjamin Najib during his exile in Bahrain. The book has been translated into several languages, including English. The novel was banned in the Gulf because Najeeb was taken by the Arabs and thrown into the desert and worked without even being given food.
