The article says King Abdullah and Queen Rania are guests of honour at a “noble dinner” as part of the Aspen Institute activities, but it doesn’t give a date or time.
Are we sure they are scheduled to attend Expo in Spain on Tuesday?

Jordan's royal family visits 
King Abdullah II Ibn Al Hussein is touring the western United States this week on a motorcycle with his son Prince Hussein, making several stops in Southern Oregon. His stay began with an economic forum in Idaho July 12 followed by what his Web site called a "several-day private visit."

" The dinner party tasted Pyramid beers and Rogue Valley wines, including the king's local favorite, Velocity, a red wine from RoxyAnn Winery. King Abdullah insisted waiters leave hors d'oeuvres trays on the table instead of serving."
 I didn't know he drinks, isn't he a descendant of the Prophet PBUH?

I have deleted a few posts which talked about lifestyles of gulf-royals, King Abdullah drinking etc. This topic is about King Abdullah & Queen Rania’s trip to the U.S and not about lifestyle’s of the royals therefore let’s all get back on topic.
Further off-topic posts will be deleted without notice.

" White water rafting is a must on the to do list while visiting Central Oregon ... King Abdullah the Second of Jordan and his son, Prince Hussein, braved the rapids on the Big Eddy of the Deschutes River."
