AMMAN — HRH Crown Prince Hussein on Wednesday participated in Allgaeu Orient Rally in Azraq.

Crown Prince Hussein, along with 500 participants from Germany, a number of European countries, and Jordan, crossed around 25 kilometres in the desert, starting from Kian Khana to Amra Palace in Azraq in the northeast of Jordan, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.

The charity rally took off from Oberstaufen in Germany on May 10, passing Austria, Italy, Eastern Europe, Greece and Turkey, with Jordan as its final stop.

Some 258 cars took part in the rally, eight of which belong to Jordanians.

Participants will stay in Jordan for another four days to visit tourist sites, villages and desert areas as part of a programme to promote tourism in the Kingdom, according to Petra.

The proceeds of last year’s Allgaeu Orient Rally went to the benefit of young Jordanians with hearing difficulties and in need of cochlear implants, under the Crown Prince’s directives.
