[01] Queen Rania of Jordan tours Athens' historical sites with PM's
wife
Queen Rania al-Abdullah of Jordan, who has accompanied the King
Abdallah II on an official visit to Greece, was shown around many of
the Greek capital's best known sites on Thursday by the prime
minister's wife, Natasa Karamanlis.
Their tour was conducted mainly on foot, starting at the pedestrian
walkway on Dionysiou Areopagitou street with stops along the way at
archaeological sites such as the Herod Atticus Odeon, the Stoa of
Attalos and the museum at ancient Athens' Agora.
The two first ladies, who were also accompanied by the wife of the
Jordanian ambassador to Athens, then walked through the Monastiraki
flea market district at the foot of the Acropolis before departing for
an unscheduled visit to the Benaki Museum's Pireos Street annex, where
an exhibition on Islamic Culture is currently on display.
