Pathfinder 2E Which book should I pick up next?

I'm not an expert in the Pathfinder world geography (or our world, if I'm honest).

Mwangi Expanse seems to be sub-Saharan Africa. Their equivalent of North Africa seems to be an area called the Golden Road, consisting of the nations of Katapesh, Osirion, Qadira, Rahadoum, and Thuvia. That is beyond the Barrier Wall, which is considered the northern border of the Mwangi Expanse. The Golden Road area has about 11 pages of content in the Lost Omens World Guide, which is basically an overview of the campaign setting.
Thanks! I really appreciate the response, Retreater. I may end up picking it up anyway as, like Voadam, I think that fantasy Africa sounds more interesting to me then fantasy Asia.

Does that book have any areas inspired by North Africa? My wife is Moroccan and I've noticed a lot of fantasy books inspired by Africa really just mean "inspired by sub-Saharan Africa" and sees North Africa ignored or lumped in with fantasy western asia.

No, not in the Mwangi Expanse. That would be the Golden Road region of Golarion.

It's worth noting that several areas of Golarion (Absalom, the Shining Kingdoms, the Impossible Lands, and Tian Xia) have gotten books, which means that the Golden Road is likely to get something in the future. I'd say they are probably one of the regions that would really benefit from a redux at moment.
