''Khemed'' is the Fictional Country in the Arabian Peninsula invented by Hergé for the Tintin series. The name means "got it!" in Marols, the Brussels Flemish dialect. ''Khemed'' is an Arabic country near the Red Sea and in the Arabian Peninsula . Its capital is ''Wadesdah'' (which is derived from the Marols pronunciation of "What is that?"), although its chief economic center appears to be the port city of Khemikhal (a pun on "chemical", obviously, though the French version has "Khemkhâh," Marols for "I'm cold"). Most of the country is desert. In the Tintin stories, Petra appears to be located in ''Khemed''. This is because author Hergé originally set the first story in the British Mandate Of Palestine and Transjordan , but, created the country to avoid political issues. Indeed, Khemikhal was originally supposed to be the Israel i port of Haifa . ''Khemed'' is a Monarchy , ruled by '' Emir Mohammed ben Kalish Ezab'' (Marols ''kalichesap'', liquorice juice), whose son ''Abdullah'' does all sorts of mischief, most famously with his exploding Cigar s and Cigarette s. However, '' Sheik Bab El Ehr'' (Marols ''babbeleer'', chatterbox) had tried to oust him two times. Last time he was in power for six months with the aid of mercenaries and foreign aircraft.
