A parade will take place in these private premises to view some of the world champions of Arabian beauties and their offspring’s.
Owned by the Royal Family, the Royal Stables are under the patronage of Her Royal Highness Princes Alia, the daughter of Late King Hussein.
Princes Alia’s life is dedicated to bringing up Pure Arabian Horses that are brought up in the gentlest way, where the horses are never ridden and never handled with a whip, the only purpose of having them is to give them the best of life and show them off to the world either by private visits or by international Horse shows.
There is a famous saying “Germans are proud of their Mercedes Benz, and Jordanians are proud of their Pure Arabians”
After the horse show we will depart by coach to the Royal Car Museum about 15 minutes’ drive.
The Royal Car Museum has a vast car collection from vintage to limited edition and sport cars of his late Majesty King Hussein. Collecting cars was one of his hobbies as he was a Rally Driver and loved motor vehicles.
On arrival of the guests to the Museum, a guided tour of the unique cars that are being displayed, will take place. Some having audio/video explanation. Some of these cars are very significant to the history of Jordan and very much related to the late King Hussein and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.
