King Abdullah And Queen Rania - discussing their projects

[Banadoora]

I just remembered reading somewhere that King Abdullah was an extra on an episode of Star Treck. Maybe he's looking to get into acting for a bit. hehe.

There´s a joke there about Arnold´s acting ability(or lack thereof) but I will not say it. I will be kind to Arnold. Okay. Well, here is a question for everybody then. Save the countries of the Maghreb and Egypt, Abdullah has visited what other African countries on official business? Just curious.

It's funny you called it Maghreb. I thought that only Arabs called it Maghreb.

I'm not sure. Well I guess he'd visit Algeria and Tunisia. I haven't read about him visiting any other African countries though.

I see. So not even a country like South Africa. Interesting. That´s too bad. I hope he and Rania will visit more of Africa in an official capacity in the future.

They may have visited a while back but I wouldn't know about it. I know that they haven't visited any other African countries during the past year.

Thanks Humble! I've been looking for anything on it since I read the article about it. I've heard that KA's a huge Star Treck fan. I wonder if he likes Star Wars. I love Star Wars

The Maghreb is made up of Morocco. Tunisia and Algeria I think. I'm pretty sure.

I don't know about the relations between Australia and Jordan. I'm sure they have good relations though. I put a search for it through google and didn't find much.

Do you see a lot of Kangoroos in Australia? I'd love to go and visit someday.

Sometimes it includes Libya. But you are generally right. Here are some more photos from IBL from the meeting with Bush:

According to IHT.com, KA is spending an obscene amount of money on P. Hamzah's wedding. In a country where the majority of citizens struggle just to meet basic needs, the Royal Family spends money as if its as available as the fleas on 1,000 camels. I wonder if S. Mohammed is picking up the tab for this?

Do you have a link? I tried searching the site, but didn't come up with anything.

I'm interested in the article.

Thank you.

AMMAN, JORDAN: Jordanian King Abdullah II of Jordan and Queen Rania are seen 08 May 2004 in their car upon the king's arrival in Amman following an official visit to Washington where he met with US President George W. Bush. After drawing Arab wrath by endorsing an Israeli plan for a unilateral pullout from the Gaza Strip and parts of the West Bank, Bush told the Jordanian monarch he was committed to creating a Palestinian state. Jordan, a home to 1.7 million Palestinian refugees, is concerned that by embracing the controversial plan of Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon last month Bush had implicitly rejected longstanding Arab demand that Palestinian refugees be allowed to return to land they lost when Israel was created in 1948.
