Abstract

A special issue on the relationship between the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and Saudi Arabia. It highlights the achievements made during the reigns of His Majesty King Abdullah II Ben Al Hussein and King Abdullah Ben Abdelaziz, both politically and in the field of investment for economic development . We notice the fraternal relationship through the Kings' visits of both countries. In the city of Azarqa, a district called “Servant of the Holy Mosques” was established to ensure adequate housing for citizens. The program also introduces the facilities provided by Saudi Arabia for pilgrims performing the Hadj or Umra. There is also cooperation in the field of education, including the creation of a special centre for the care of blind women in Jordan and cultural exchange at university level.
