Dear Sami; Oh, is this your exhibition? Fantastic Sami and Congratulations! Ahmad Hussein from Alaydi has sent me a photo with Mrs Kawar, HM Queen Rania and others. But I did not see you on this photo! I wish I was there!!! With kind regards. Peter

Hello Peter, yes this was my joint exhibition with Mrs. Kawar where her majesty queen Rania gave us the honor of attending the opening. I guess I was not privileged to get many pictures with HM. Hope to have you visit once your in Amman. I am spending weekdays in Riyadh now and back at weekends so if you happen to come to Riyadh please let me know. Br Sami

Dear Sami; I have been two days ago in Riyadh! We are managing the Maharaja East by Vineet Bhatia (Michelin star Chef) in Riyadh. The restaurant belongs to the same owner as the Moevenpick Al Khobar. Try to visit it once - it is open for lunch and dinner except Sundays. They serve great Indian food! I am usually visiting Riyadh and out restaurant there once a month. I will be in Riyadh (Moevenpick Hotel) on December 14th and 15th for a MHR GM Meeting. Maybe we can meet on December 16th. Please keep in touch! With kind regards and once more Congratulations for this great exhibition. I will visit it when in Jordan in coming February. Peter
