Some information about Jordan

•The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan is a constitutional monarchy with a developing

economy and a modern infrastructure. Western culture features prominently in the lives of many Jordanians. At the same time, traditional Islamic

ideals and beliefs provide a conservative foundation for the country's customs, laws, and practices. Businesses and facilities catering to

tourists are widely available, although quality may vary depending on price and location

Some information about England

•The United Kingdom, consisting of Great Britain (England, Wales, and Scotland )

and Northern Ireland , is twice the size of New York State. England, in the southeast part of the British

Isles, is separated from Scotland on the north by the granite Cheviot Hills; from them the Pennine chain of

uplands extends south through the center of England, reaching its highest point in the Lake District in the northwest. To the west along the

border of Wales—a land of steep hills and valleys—are the Cambrian Mountains, while the Cotswold, a

range of hills in Gloucestershire, extend into the surrounding shires .

Royal family for British

•The British Royal Family is the group of close relatives of the monarch of the United Kingdom. The term is also

commonly applied to the same group of people as the relations of the monarch in his or her role as sovereign of any of the other Commonwealth realms, thus sometimes

at variance with official national terms for the family. Members of the royal family belong to, or are married

into, the House of Windsor, since 1917, when George V changed the name of the royal house from Saxe-Coburg

and Goth .

The royal family of Jordan•The Hashemite royal family is interwoven into the life of Jordan, having

established the modern state in 1921. It is impossible, therefore, to understand the fabric of Jordan’s modern history without some

knowledge of the royal family. The Hashemite, or “Bani Hashem,” are descendants of the Arab chieftain Quraysh, a descendant of the Prophet

Ismail, himself the son of the Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham). Quraysh first came to the holy city of Mecca during the second century CE. The first generation of Quraysh to rule the city came six generations later, when

Qusayy bin Kilab ascended to the leadership of Mecca in the year 480 CE. The name “Hashem” is actually that of Qusayy’s grandson, who was the great-grandfather of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). The

Hashemites are thus the direct descendants of the Prophet through his daughter Fatima and her husband Ali bin Abi Talib, who was also the

Prophet’s paternal first cousin and the fourth caliph of Islam.
