On Monday January 16th, Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah paid a visit to the House of Roses Ladies Association in Aqaba, where she met with a group of local women artists and home-based business owners.

The House of Roses Ladies Association, located near a number of popular Aqaba hotels, serves as a permanent exhibition space for its members to display and advertise their items to local and international visitors. Traditional handicrafts, ceramics, culinary products, and other handmade things are available.

In a meeting with its management team, Association President Rania Nes'ah informed Her Majesty that the House of Roses was founded in the aftermath of the COVID-19 epidemic to assist suffering owners of home-based projects in regaining their footing.

It not only provides a platform for community members to sell their wares, but it also provides training to women and persons with disabilities in order to help them develop marketable skills and increase their income.

The association also provides travelers with a variety of unique local experiences, such as sewing and crafting their own products or learning to make local specialties in the association's kitchen.

During her visit, the Queen went on a tour of the House of Roses' shop, warehouse, and kitchen before stopping in its backyard to see an exhibition of crafts inspired by the particular character of Aqaba and a demonstration of the various tourism experiences the organization has to offer.
