(Tehran = Yonhap News) Correspondent Lee Seung-min = Jordan’s Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah will marry a woman from a powerful family in Saudi Arabia on the 1st (local time).
According to the Daily Arab News, the wedding ceremony of Crown Prince Hussein (28) and his fiancée Rajwa al-Saif (29) will be held at Jahran Palace in Amman this followingnoon.
Famous for its ornate decorations, the palace was also the site of the wedding of King Abdullah II and Queen Rania in 1993.
The ceremony was attended by royals from around the world, including Prince William and Kate Middleton. Jill Biden, wife of US President Joe Biden, and US special envoy for climate change John Kerry were also on the list of attendees.
Jordan, which has a population of 11 million, declared this day a public holiday and decorated major streets with national flags and banners. Large screens for broadcasting weddings were installed in major squares and streets of Amman.
Crown Prince Hussein and al-Saif got engaged in August last year.

Hussein, who was installed as crown prince in 2009 at the age of 15, is the eldest son of King Abdullah II.
In addition to Crown Prince Hussein, King Abdullah II and Queen Rania have two other children: Princess Iman (26), Princess Salma (22), and Prince Hashem (18).
After majoring in international history at George Washington University in the United States, Crown Prince Hussein was educated at the Royal Military Academy in Sandhurst, England. He served as a helicopter pilot in the Jordanian Army.
In 2015, Crown Prince Hussein drew attention by presiding over a UN Security Council meeting as the youngest at the time.
The father of the bride, al-Saif, is known as a billionaire who owns a major construction company in Saudi Arabia.
Her mother is of the ‘Sudairi Seven’ (seven sons of Hussa al-Sudairi, the 8th wife of the current King Abdulaziz), a key force in the Saudi Al Saud royal family.
Al-Saif, who studied architecture at Syracuse University in New York, works as an architect in the United States and Saudi Arabia.
Foreign media reported the news of the wedding and analyzed that Jordan, which lacks resources, can help build strategic ties with Saudi Arabia, the largest oil producer.
Local media reported that Hussein would solidify his position as crown prince through the grand wedding ceremony.
Amer Sabayle, a Jordanian political analyst, told The Associated Press, “This is not just a wedding, it’s an event announcing Jordan’s future king.”
