I'm in the middle of creating a sandbox game for my group initially set in the country of Katapesh. My group wanted to get out of the ever constant temperate forest and wintery settings our current APs have us running through (RotRL and Jade). From what I've read/seen Katapesh has a diverse variety of areas to explore, mountains and hills to the north and west, vast plains in the middle, a decent urban area, a coastline to the east, and a desert and marshland to the south. I have the Inner Sea World Guide, but I was wondering if there is any other information that I can gain on the country, its lands, cities, and people.
Any information you provide is much appreciated.
Thank you.

First of all, there is Dark Markets, which describes the city of Katapesh, and then there is House of the Beasts, which provides a regional gazzeteer, expanding on the one in the Legacy of Fire players guide.
The module Broken Chains is set in the city, as are these PFS scenarios.

Check out the recommend a generic adventure thread for generic adventures adaptable for any campaign. Though adapting to arabian/katapeshi flavor will probably take a bit more work.

Dark Markets is pretty good. It has a nice mix of characters and plot hooks, along with a fair number of open-ended mysteries. (Just what /is/ the story behind those two statues?)
Mind, sandbox requires a fair amount of preparation, especially if your players don't immediately bite on plot hooks.
