Ten days after the wedding of Prince Hussein of Jordan with Rajwa Al-Saif, this Monday the traditional henna festival was held at the Zahran Palace in Amman, one of the rituals prior to any Muslim wedding. The tradition is that at this party, attended only by women, the bride is encouraged for her new life as a couple. Some kind of bachelorette party. Queen Rania, as usual, has already shared the images of the party on her social networks.
The future wife of the heir to the Hashemite throne was surrounded at the party by some 600 women, including several members of the Jordanian royal family. Among them, the princesses Salma and Iman, the latter celebrated her wedding last March and her henna night only a few days before, although she was much smaller since she was not the heir to the throne.
“I am so happy that everyone can be here to celebrate with us. Today is a special day for the entire Jordanian family: our joy is the same, near or far, you are all in our hearts today,” Rania said in the quote. “I finally have a daughter-in-law. Rajwa is my hope before God for Prince Hussein. Hussein is my first joy, my eldest son and I always dreamed of seeing him as a groom,” she added.
Last week it was the turn of the prince’s farewell, who, dressed as a military man and together with his companions from the Royal Armored King Hussein bin Talal Brigade, held a military evening in the open air which was also attended by his little brother, the prince Hashem, who turned 18 in January.

The ceremony is scheduled to be held at the Zahran palace and later they will move to the Al Husseiniya palace for the banquet and party, which will be behind closed doors unlike the ceremony, which will be televised just like the wedding. of Magnet.
