Dubai on Friday announced the launch of a new children’s book written by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.
In a world first, the book — titled The Journey From the Desert to the Stars — was launched right in space, revealed by no other than UAE astronaut Sultan AlNeyadi, before concluding his historic six-month mission at the orbital laboratory.
Right from the desert of Dubai, an e-copy of the book made it all the way to the International Space Station (ISS). AlNeyadi shared a snippet of it in a video he shared on X.
“It’s a wonderful book that cultivates in the hearts of our children the love for the impossible and the making of the bright future of our country,” Al Neyadi wrote in a heartfelt post.
