Jordan’s royal couple are on a two day visit to the tiny Persian Gulf state of Qatar. The visit is meant to strength bilateral ties and “boosting brotherly ties.” 
King Abdullah and Queen Rania were invited, and greeted by, Emir Sheikh Hamad Bin Khalifah Al Thani and his wife Sheikha Mozha in the capital of Doha. They were then escorted to the Emir’s Wajba Palace for talks.
Meanwhile, back in Amman, Abdullah’s brother, Faisal, was sworn in as regent while the King is away.
Jordanian Prime Minister Nader Dahabi visited Qatar on November 8 during which he met with the Qatari emir, prime minister and foreign minister.
The prime minister stressed the government’s keenness to implement the King’s directives to advance Jordanian-Qatari ties and boost cooperation for the interest of both countries.
This was displayed when the King and the Emir signed protocol to the agreement of regulating recruitment of Jordanian manpower between Qatar and Jordan as well as a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on mutual recognition of certificates, in accordance with international conventions for the training and qualifications levels.
While all this was taking place, Queen Rania was given a tour of Doha’s recently opened Museum of Islamic Art. The museum was inaugurated this weekend by Sheikha Al-Masaya, and it is said to be the largest in the region.
