      Crown Prince of Jordan, Hussein bin Abdullah married  Rajwa Al Saif in June 2023. The Royal Couple of Jordan will soon welcome their first child.
      The Royal couple got engaged in August 2022 at Princess Rajwa’s paternal home in Saudi.
      With that, Emirates Woman explores what we know about the newest Princess of Jordan so far:

      Who is Rajwa Al Saif?
      According to Jordanian news outlet Roya News, Rajwa Al Saif was born in Riyadh on April 28, 1994 and is currently 28 years old.
      The bride-to-be is the youngest of four children, including Faisal, Naif, Dana and Rajwa, born to parents Khalid bin Musaed Al Saif and Azza Al Sudairi.
      The Al Saif family’s heritage dates back to the Subai tribe in the town of  Al-Attar in Sudair, Najd, Saudi Arabia, where ancestors are known to have been the sheikhs of the town.
      Rajwa’s father, who resides in Riyadh, has established himself as a well-reputed businessman over the years.
      Life & career
      Rajwa was born and raised in Saudi Arabia where she completed her secondary education.
      She then moved to New York to attend university at the College of Architecture at Syracuse University. However, little is known about her career after graduating from the university.
      The engagement
      The announcement was made via a Twitter post by the Royal Hashemite Court on Wednesday, August 17, 2022. The post congratulated the couple and showcased a series of images of the family together to mark the special occasion.

      The statement said, “The Royal Hashemite Court is pleased to announce the engagement of His Royal Highness Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II to Ms. Rajwa Khaled bin Musaed bin Saif bin Abdulaziz Al Saif, on Wednesday, 17 August 2022, in the presence of Their Majesties King Abdullah II and Queen Rania Al Abdullah.”
      The Wedding
      The official islamic wedding ceremony took place at the Zahran Palace in Amman, Jordan a few moments ago. The same iconic location where King Abdullah of Jordan married Queen Rania.
      The couple looked resplendent as they vowed to spend their lives together. For the nuptials, the Crown Prince chose to wore his military uniform, just like his father did on his big day, thirty years ago.
      The bride, who originates from Saudi Arabia looked ethereal in a stunning white gown by Elie Saab with and endless veil. The ensemble she chose for her big day had elements of traditionalism with a hint of modernity. The jewellery and makeup were minimal, as the glowing bride allowed her au naturale beauty to take centre stage.

      Social media has emerged as a strong source of secondary income – more and more people are becoming content creators (despite their full time jobs).
      There is an audience for everything – whether you’re into fashion, beauty, lifestyle, food or travel, if you have a story there’s a niche audience out there waiting to discover you.

      It can be in the way you design your aesthetic, film your content or even in the way you present it. But before the final stage comes the prep work – make sure you’re armed with the essentials you need to create the kind of content you desire.
      The content creator starter pack: From the latest tripod, wireless gear, filming light and much more.
      It can be a puzzling exercise to find the right gadgets without burning a hole in your bank account. To save you the hassle, we’ve curated a list of products you need to begin your journey as a content creator.

      1 hour ago

      “Dopamine decor” is a term used to describe interior design choices that aim to stimulate the release of dopamine, a neurotransmitter associated with pleasure and reward, by creating a visually appealing and emotionally uplifting environment.
      Here are some ways to incorporate dopamine decor:
      Color Palette: Choose colors that evoke positive emotions. Vibrant hues like blues, greens, and yellows can create a cheerful atmosphere.
      Natural Light: Maximize natural light to improve mood. Open curtains, use sheer fabrics, and position mirrors strategically to reflect light.
      Texture and Comfort: Include plush cushions, soft rugs, and cozy blankets to create a sense of comfort and relaxation.
      Art and Creativity: Hang artwork that resonates with you emotionally. Abstract, colorful, and visually stimulating pieces can elicit positive feelings.
      Sensory Elements: Use scented candles, essential oils, or incense to engage the sense of smell and create a soothing environment.
      Organized Space: A clutter-free environment can reduce stress and anxiety. Proper organization promotes a sense of control and calmness.
      Positive Affirmations: Decorate with positive quotes, affirmations, or motivational artwork to uplift your spirits.
      Functional Design: Arrange furniture in a way that promotes easy movement and functionality. A well-organized space can reduce frustration and increase efficiency.
      Variety and Novelty: Incorporate elements that capture your attention and pique your curiosity. Unique or unexpected decor pieces can trigger feelings of excitement.
      10 editor-approved dopamine-inducing decor items you can add to your cart

      2 Jaipur Insiders on navigating all the hot spots and hidden gems in the city

      by

      Life

      by Camille Macawili
      2 hours ago

      The Pink City of Jaipur is a travel bucket-list worthy destination that enchants and excites. Abundant in colour, beauty, and history, it offers a feast for the eyes.
      Here, Emirates Woman asks two tastemakers to share insider information to get the best city experience Jaipur has to offer, from hidden gems to once-in-a-lifetime experiences.
      ANITA DONGREFounder and Chief Creative Officer at Anita Dongre

      A hidden gem: I love spending time at The Colannade overseeing the beautiful lawns at The Rajmahal Palace. With its vibrant wallpapers and candy pink artdeco facade, the 19th-century palace hotel truly celebrates the modern heritage vibe of Jaipur.

      A can’t-miss experience: Next time you are in Jaipur, you must spend a day with the craftswomen of the Princess Diya Kumari Foundation, learning their arts, culture, and life stories, at Badal Mahal in City Palace Jaipur. The economic empowerment of rural women has incredible positive ripple effects in their families, communities and society as a whole.

      BARBARA MIOLINIFounder of Villa Palladio and Bar Palladio

      A hidden gem: Gyan Museum, located a little outside of the city. This is the private collection of a jewellery family built in honour of their late father. The collection comprises gorgeous miniature paintings (the display of which is genius), stunning objet d’art, and a charming display of decorative hookah spouts. The space is incredible – a brutalist cave reminding one of a cavern of treasure. After a visit to the museum, guests are treated to private viewings of the family’s contemporary collection of outrageous diamonds, sapphires and rubies. As it is located a bit out of the way, not many people know about this incredible place, but it is well worth the trip.

      A can’t-miss experience: A beautiful experience in the city (and located on the way to Villa Palladio) is a visit to Khanoom Jaipur. A labour of love built between Simon Marks, a fabulous artist dedicated to handicraft and lost traditions, and Priyamvadha Golcha, an incredible aesthete and businesswoman looking to pave a new future for craft development in Rajasthan, Khanoom is an incredible and gorgeous ceramics workshop. The collection of tableware is actually stunning, entirely hand painted by a talented cadre of miniature painters. Plus, they often host workshops open to the public.
