Another one already?:eek:
so far: saudi arabia, france, morocco, green cape, senegal and now jordan; are they doing it in purpose? you know like going to the middle east and african countries at the same time?

They are coming home in between visits, so it's not as if it's a unified tour like the one Charles and Camilla embarked on. And the Queen went to Senegal without the King for a separate mission.

The purposes of each trip have also been different, so I don't think there is a link between these trips.

This is good news. I'm surprised that they will visit Qatar again because they were already in Doha in October 2003. That time it was an official visit and this time it will be the same. I wish it were a State visit instead.
