His Highness Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, has concluded his visit to the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, departing from King Hussein International Airport in Aqaba on 5th October following his participation in the groundbreaking ceremony for the Aqaba–Al-Shidiyeh–Maan Railway Project.

His Majesty King Abdullah II bin Al Hussein, King of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, personally led the farewell proceedings as the Crown Prince’s delegation prepared to depart. The ceremonial send-off reflected the diplomatic significance of the visit and the strengthening bilateral relations between the two nations.

In a mark of respect and honour, military aircraft from the Royal Jordanian Air Force provided an escorted departure, executing a ceremonial flyover as His Highness’s aircraft lifted off from the airport.
