Watch: Queen Rania Hosts An Iftar in Jerash
It’s been a busy few weeks for Her Majesty, yet she was able to make time for the city’s women
Dressed in traditional Jordanian attire, Queen Rania hosted an Iftar for a group of women from the city of Jerash on Tuesday.
The event was held amidst the ancient Roman ruins the region is known for and it was attended by the governor of the area, Firas Faour.
The Queen of Jordan took time to commend the guests for their contributions to the local community during the gathering, which brought together a number of women from across the governorate, who take part in social and youth advocacy, according to a statement from the Office of Her Majesty.
Speaking at the event, Queen Rania was quoted as saying, “Jerash is known for its beautiful nature, history, and ruins, but what makes it most remarkable are its people and women.”
“You are an incredible and admirable group of Jordanian women,” Her Majesty added. “Each and every one of you is the epitome of kindness and generosity within your homes and beyond,” she said.
It’s been a busy few weeks for the Queen of Jordan. Last week, Her Majesty met with Egypt’s President Abdelfattah Elsisi’s wife, Entissar Amer.

Their Majesties King Abdullah II and Queen Rania, and His Royal Highness Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II received Egypt’s President Abdelfattah Elsisi and his spouse, Entissar Amer, at Amman Civil Airport.
An official ceremony with a guard of honour parade as well as a red-carpet reception was held to welcome the Egyptian president and the First Lady to Jordan on Monday.
Queen Rania posted a picture on her official Instagram account with Entissar Amer from the meeting.
Always a vision of grace and elegance, Her Majesty sported a tie-dyed washed silk crêpe de chine turtleneck midi dress by Marques Almeida, paired with Jimmy Choo leather pump heels and a green clutch bag. The First Lady of Egypt looked elegant in a dusky pink long ensemble with a matching turban-style hijab and pointed-toe heels to complete the outfit.
According to the State Information Service of Egypt, Presidential Spokesperson Ahmed Fahmy said that the two leaders’ discussions will shed light on ceasefire efforts in Gaza along with intensifying humanitarian aid.
Earlier last year, the King and Queen of Jordan had met President Abdelfattah Elsisi and Entissar Amer in Cairo, where they discussed women empowerment and the strong relationship the two countries share.
