''The Times Literary Supplement'' wrote of Bassiouney’s ''Al-Qata’i: Ibn Tulun’s City Without Walls'' that "the Egyptian author Reem Bassiouney has made a name for herself with a series of popular historical novels that bring sweeping and vivid life to this story. Having already written about the late-nineteenth-century and Mamluk eras of Cairo – the two periods that have done the most to define the city before the current one – Bassiouney now turns her attention to a more obscure, obliterated period of Egypt’s history....As in the coffeehouses of old Cairo, where the medieval epics were recited until the last century, the pleasure here is to be found in the storytelling itself ..." (Times Literary Supplement). <ref>{{Cite web |title=A turbulent tale of ninth-century Cairo |url=https://www.the-tls.com/literature/fiction/al-qata-i-reem-bassiouney-book-review-amir-hussein-radjy |access-date=2026-02-25 |website=TLS |language=en-US}}</ref>
