sheikha

Arab royal woman

Sheikha is a title for a woman of high rank in Arab societies—typically the wife or daughter of a sheikh, or a woman holding authority in her own right.

The title appears before the given name: Sheikha Moza attended the conference.

In Gulf states, it often indicates membership in a ruling family.
