Yes i admire the late soverign but why? Worship him this against the Deen! Use the money for appropriate usuage. Hospitals promoting health care, along establishing Arab,Persian and African trade. Malik Hussein wanted the best for Jordan. This was his goal to create efficient diplomacy for Jordan. Thank you Jordan for retaining the monarchy. So many nations in the Ummah disguarded. And Allah has punished them, Jordan is leader in economics for Levantine area. Still my only complain is the money should. Be used for schools and new hospitals May praise his Royal excellency Malik Hussein. Great leader of Kingdom of Jordan your smiling at us! What next a commerative city of Malik Hussein?

Additionally, there are playgrounds for children and a traffic park to teach children basic traffic rules. There is also a camping area used by scouts and a stone stand that can hold 150 spectators, which can be used for giving lectures and other recreational activities. The project also includes a skiing rink for children with a stand that can seat 70 people." this is in addition to the children's museum which looks more like an interactive place and is nearing completion. oula: yeah i agree :-D

I believe you own the most pics related to King Hussein Park on the web. The pictorial wall of history is especially nice and I look forward to strolling past it. So they have basketball courts and what else do they have football/soccer field? Skating area? Would you please elaborate a little bit more what this park offers for children?

I'll come back later. I pass by the mosque almost daily, and everytime i see it, I just wish i go visit. At night with all the lights, it looks so amazing. I've also wanted to check the museum as well, I know alot about it, but never paid it a real visit. I've been to King Abdullah mosque once before, and was thrilled with the architectural beauty. I bet King Hussein's mosque is just as equal, if not better in terms of its architecture. couldn’t finish reading the post.. should be studying instead(!) I’ll come back later.

This place however is great... I walk there almost everyday in the summer... It is beautiful and for some reason, it is never hot during summer nights there... if this is my tax money, thank you government (however, if they drove less expensive cars, I think the government may be able to make more places like these!)
