Countdown to Royal Jordanian Wedding Sparks Festivities

As the people of Jordan eagerly anticipate the upcoming royal wedding of Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II and Rajwa Al Saif, festivities continue with a spectacular concert featuring some of the Arab world’s finest singers.
On May 29, the Amman International Stadium in the capital of Jordan will witness a mesmerizing musical event. Jordanian singers Diana Karazon and Zain Awad, Lebanese sensation Ragheb Alama, and Egyptian superstars Tamer Hosny and Ahmad Saad will all grace the stage, delighting the audience with their incredible talent.

The concert, which is part of the royal wedding celebrations, will commence at 8 p.m. and admission will be granted exclusively to ticket holders. The much-anticipated wedding of Jordan’s Crown Prince and Saudi national Al Saif is scheduled to take place on June 1, following their engagement announcement by the Jordanian Royal Court in August. The wedding festivities will commence at the Zahran Palace in Amman, where King Abdullah
and Queen Rania also celebrated their wedding in 1993, according to Jordan’s Al Mamlaka TV. Recently, Queen Rania hosted a traditional pre-wedding henna night for the bride-to-be, accompanied by the bride’s mother and the groom’s sisters, Princesses Iman and Salma.
Furthermore, King Abdullah is expected to host a dinner in honor of the occasion on May 31. To further commemorate this grand event, the skies of Amman have been illuminated with mesmerizing drone displays in the evenings throughout the week. Jordanian Prime Minister Bisher al-Khasawneh has declared June 1 a public holiday for various government-related entities, with working hours on May 31 ending at 1 p.m. local time.
This highly anticipated royal wedding follows the intimate ceremony in March when Princess Iman tied the knot with Jameel Alexander Thermiotis in Jordan
