Queen Rania and King Abdullah II of Jordan have wrapped up their visit to the US capital.
For five days, Queen Rania has attended meetings in Washington – solo and with husband King Abdullah II and their son, Crown Prince Hussein.
The visit has been a showcase in royal style. Making a statement in regional solidarity, she chose a red dress by Lebanese designer brand Bazaza, when she first stepped out with the US first lady Jill Biden last Monday.
Following their meeting, Queen Rania wrote on Instagram: "It was lovely joining US first lady Dr Jill Biden at the White House today. Her enthusiasm, warmth and compassion are a pleasure to behold!"

The trip wasn't only a showcase of Middle Eastern fashion, however. To meet Pfizer chief executive Albert Bourla on Tuesday, Queen Rania opted for a Chloe set in the shape of a sea-foam green blouse and wool trousers. Later that day, she attended a lunch hosted by Grace Nelson, wife of Nasa administrator and former Senator Bill Nelson, wearing an ivory Celine blouse and hot pink Valentino skirt.
The queen shared photos of the lunch, which was taken with "a wonderful group of inspirational women", on social media.
The following day, Queen Rania opted for an emerald Christopher Kane blouse with a white Gabriela Hearst skirt for a White House visit. On Thursday, she wore a white high-necked dress by Roksanda, the eponymous London luxury brand by the Serbian designer Roksanda Ilincic, to meet Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi at the Capitol.
For her final day of meetings at the White House, she wore a red blouse with a pair of full-bodied black trousers.

Who was Alfred Nobel?
The Nobel Prize was created by wealthy Swedish chemist and entrepreneur Alfred Nobel.
- In his will he dictated that the bulk of his estate should be used to fund "prizes to those who, during the preceding year, have conferred the greatest benefit to humankind".
- Nobel is best known as the inventor of dynamite, but also wrote poetry and drama and could speak Russian, French, English and German by the age of 17. The five original prize categories reflect the interests closest to his heart.
- Nobel died in 1896 but it took until 1901, following a legal battle over his will, before the first prizes were awarded.
Ziina users can donate to relief efforts in Beirut
Ziina users will be able to use the app to help relief efforts in Beirut, which has been left reeling after an August blast caused an estimated $15 billion in damage and left thousands homeless. Ziina has partnered with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees to raise money for the Lebanese capital, co-founder Faisal Toukan says. “As of October 1, the UNHCR has the first certified badge on Ziina and is automatically part of user's top friends' list during this campaign. Users can now donate any amount to the Beirut relief with two clicks. The money raised will go towards rebuilding houses for the families that were impacted by the explosion.”
