No strangers to Fez, Jordan's King Abdullah II and Queen Rania were in Fez this weekend on a private visit.
Accompanied by the King's uncle, Prince Talal and his wife Princess Ghaida, the royal party arrived in Fez on Sunday afternoon and were greeted by King Mohammed VI, Princess Lalla Salma and their son Moulay Hassan.
Private visits such as this one give an opportunity for the two monarchs to discuss the close cooperation between the two kingdoms and to forge a common Arab stance on various issues. They also talked about current events and how to bring peace to the Middle East.
Moroccan Foreign Minister Taieb Fassi Fihri told the press on Friday that Amman and Rabat had a clear vision about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
"The creation of a Palestinian state is the solution to the crisis in the Middle East," he said. "It is futile to seek other alternatives."He said both countries backed Egyptian efforts to mediate a lasting truce between Israel and Hamas in and around Gaza.
King Abdullah and Queen Rania were the guests of honour at a dinner held by the Moroccan royals. Today the Jordanian King and Queen are off on an official state visit to Portugal.
