Thank you for that explanation! So it's from the Gulf countries; that is interesting.

Not quite, I meant that the style is more from the Gulf than Jordanian, but the caftans in question could have been made anywhere.

Do y'all think QNoor will be at PHaya's wedding party in Dubai?

What do you think?

(I would start a poll but I don't think that service is available yet.)

QNoor was not at KA's investiture. I would not be surprised if she didn't show up at P. Haya's wedding. When is that wedding anyway?

I would be surprised if QN attends that wedding. Seems to be little love between her and P. Haya.

wasn't KA's investiture very soon after KH's death. so since QN would be the spouse of the deceased king-wouldn't she be in 'mourning' and not able to take on public engagements hence explaining her absence from the investiture?

would Haya even invite QN? from what i have read in the forums, i am under the impression that she dislikes her.

Do you all think QN will attend Ali and Rym's wedding ceremony(not quite sure what to call it).....?

Queen Noor Pays A Compassionate Visit to Colombia
HelloMagazine.com

28 OCTOBER 2004

Queen Noor of Jordan has travelled to the troubled South American nation of Colombia as part of her long-running efforts to rid the world of landmines. King Hussein's widow jetted into the capital Bogota to show her support for the country's government when it made good on a commitment to do away with its mines.

Standing stood side-by-side with President Alvaro Uribe, the 53-year-old watched army experts destroy 7,000 of the deadly weapons in a serious of deafening explosions. Decades of paramilitary conflict have left the nation with thousands of the devices buried around its countryside.

"Colombia has been ravaged by internal conflict," said the royal visitor. "And it is unique in the world for being in conflict and at the same time destroying its stocks of landmines. It takes a lot of courage for the armed forces to take these kinds of decisions."

Noor also found time to visit a craft fair in the town of Morroa, which is in one of the worst affected areas. The UN ambassador was given a warm welcome by local people, who invited her to inspect their handicrafts and take a few souvenirs home.
