Rania’s Country

This book is an inquiry about Jordan, the Arabic country that has an economy not oil based, and for this reason is not a rich country; however the population is very kind and hospitable and foreign people are always welcome. Jordan is governed by two young kings who work to improve their subjects’ status: Abdallah II al-Hashem, son of the man who brought the peace to the country and Rania al-Yassin, Palestinian, beautiful, cultured woman. She fights for human rights, in particular for woman and children’s rights. This is a modern country, but it has a critical point: the murder of honor, a crime punished only with few months of detention.
