ALBAWABA - Jordan's Crown Prince Hussein is expected to tie the knot with Rajwa Khaled Al Saif on June 1. Since the announcement by the Royal Hashemite Court, many people debated the possible venues to host the royal wedding.
Jordanian Royal weddings and celebrations usually take place in one of three palaces across the capital, Amman. They are namely Zahran Palace, Raghadan, or al Baraka.
Zahran Palace
Zahran Palace, built in 1957, was the site where King Abdullah II and Queen Rania married in 1993. It is one of the possible places for the wedding of Prince Hussein.
Abdullah's father, the late King Hussein, also wed his second wife, British-born Toni Avril Gardiner, who changed her name to Princess Muna Al Hussein upon her marrige, in the same palace in 1957. Muna is Abdullah's mother.
