Helmy, an Egyptian teacher, is desperate to find a better life for himself, his wife, and his little boy. He dreams of working in oil-rich Kuwait and its booming construction industry, just like many thousands before him. He borrows the huge cost of a visa and is on his way to Kuwait City. However, he is unaware of the nightmare that awaits him – the relentless summer sun with temperatures of 56ºC and more, the choking dust and sweat, and having to do construction work instead of teaching. He also falls into trap after trap, with no money and no answers from the many managers he comes up against. The author, himself an engineer with the construction company, is writing a story about the humiliating and degrading experiences of migrant foreign workers arriving in Kuwait to make their fortunes.
