Just a few months ago, I found myself attending an extraordinary evening beneath the stars of Al Faya in Sharjah, celebrating the palaeolandscape’s inclusion on the Unesco World Heritage List. In its silence and open sky, that moment felt to me like a living extension of what is articulated in the narrative-journey Let Them Know She is Here: Searching for the Queen of Mleiha by Sheikha Bodour Al Qasimi.
