[1] Khal studied political science before becoming a novelist and his works criticize the corruption of the very wealthy in the Arab world.
According to himself, this is because they "address the sacrosanct trio of taboos in the Arab world: sex, politics, and religion".

[3] Indeed, some of Khal's work have been translated and published in English, German and French.
Khal works as the Editor-in-chef and a daily columnist of Ukaz newspaper.
