Thanks for the pictures, I adore the dress Rania is wearing (I think she has worn it before) .

Thanks for the pictures, I adore the dress Rania is wearing (I think she has worn it before) .

Very nice pictures indeed!
Yes, Rania has worn this dress before.
It's a (wonderful) Elle Saab creation, if I remember right. But I don't remeber the occassion she wore it on right now.

 

[madonna23]

She wore the dress to a wedding - Princess Basma's daughter, I think. It's a lovely dress.

 

[Humera]

I love that dress!
So glad Queen Rania is wearing it again. She wore it previously in September 2004 (while she was pregnant with Prince Hashem) at the wedding of Princess Basma's daughter Farah.

btw....I didn't know the dress was by Elie Saab.

 

[Salomé]

Avalon and Humera, that was not an Elie Saab dress,sometimes some magazines credit dresses worn by Rania to Elie Saab,as she had worn a lot from him,but that's not the case always.

I am sure about it,because I am quit familar about what was Elie Saab's collection for FW and SS 2004/2005 when QR wore that dress,it was not one of them.

Thanks! I remembered it had something to do with a wedding but...
Mind, I am not entirely sure it's Elie Saab creation, I just remember reading in a magazine it was.

Edit: thakns Salome for clarifying, I did believe it was Saab but I was obviously mistaken.

I cant believe there aren't any pics of the dinner banquet
Hamzah , Noor, Rayah and I think I saw Hashim and Queen NOor were there,

 

[salma]

[Salomé]

[Hannelore]

Love Rania's dress!

 

[micas]

Well, can i say that, i love that dress.. eh eh eh. Thanks for the pics.

 

[madonna23]

as for the dress, i think it is designed by a jordanian - like many of her other thobes...

 

[Claudia Lisa Remy]

In one picture they all looked grumpy! I like the queen's dress, but i thought her hair looked too simple to what she was wearing.

yes I was going to mention that that might be the case. I have a scan of the dress from Hola and you can see the embroidery in it really clearly, it looks very traditional.

Yea I thought that was strange too. It seems a little rude to me? But I'm sure that king and queen will host a luncheon or something in their honor, at least they should.

 

[ZZZ]

I would of though that Queen Rania would be at the center when the Queen of malaysi visited. I think she was with the Queen of Spain all the time or most of time on her tour of Jordan. so why not with this visit? find that a bit rude. At least have a member of the Family with her/them.

A lunch/dinner in their honor is not enough. You dont treat guests like that.

There were members of the royal family with her/them: Prince Raad and/or his wife Princess Majda.

King, Queen of Malaysia Visit Sites in the Kingdom

Amman, Sep. 11(Petra)-- King Syed Sirajuddin Syed Putra and Queen Fauziah Abdul Rashid of Malaysia visited on Monday the Cave of the Seven Sleepers (Kahf Al- Raqim) in Amman.

The Cave, which is mentioned in the Holy Qur'an in a Sura named Al-Kahf (the Cave), is located outside the village of Al-Raqim, 10 km east of Amman.

Their Majesties, who were accompanied by HRH Prince Raad bin Zeid, were received by the Jordanian Ambassador in Malaysia, the Malaysian Ambassador in Jordan and Minister of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs, who briefed the Malaysian King and Queen on the importance of the site. Petra

 

[Salomé]

There was Prince Raad receiving them at the aeroport,and also his wife Majda at the caves of sleepers visit,and Jordan river's foundation.

Rania used to be with wives of head od states or queens for such as visits,like Mr. Bush or Queen Sofia, wonder why not this visit.

Raad and Majda are prince Zeid's parents who is actually candidate to UNSG,and I think this visit is a part of Zeid's candidature promotion within some Asian countries to get their votes ,because actually,never we have seen them involved such as way in official visits to Jordan,and this came in this time,as the votes will be closed for UN by the end of october.
