The novel begins in the desert country of Calormen, south of Narnia. This country is inhabited primarily by humans and does not contain the magic or beauty of Narnia.
From this tiny village, Bree and Shasta travel to the city of Tashbaan. This city is built on a hill that rises above a river. The city is very crowded, noisy, and dirty. The streets are so narrow that, when a royal party passes, everyone else must move tight against the walls in order to allow them to pass.
The last setting of the novel is Narnia and its adjacent country, Archenland.
