Queen of Mleiha legacy takes center stage in Bodour Al Qasimi’s new book, Let Them Know She Is Here: Searching for the Queen of Mleiha. The book marks the culmination of a deeply personal and inspiring journey by the President of the American University of Sharjah.
Bodour Al Qasimi’s journey began at the peaks of Kilimanjaro and led her to the historic sands of Mleiha. Her purpose was to uncover the forgotten legacy of Arab queens whose courage, knowledge, and compassion shaped early civilizations across Arabia. The Queen of Mleiha legacy represents the strength and wisdom of women who built peaceful and thriving communities guided by respect for the earth.
At the book signing, Bodour Al Qasimi expressed heartfelt gratitude to readers and friends who joined her to celebrate this milestone. Their presence reminded her that the spirit of those ancient queens still inspires women today — women who lead, create, and make a difference in every part of society.
This book is not just about history; it is about rediscovery and inspiration. It reminds readers that the stories of Arab queens are part of the roots of humanity. The Queen of Mleiha may rest beneath the sands, but her influence continues through women who embody leadership and creativity.
Through Let Them Know She Is Here, Bodour Al Qasimi connects the past with the present, showing that every woman carries within her the spirit of a queen.
