Her 10 meters long handcrafted tulle veil also reflects the Saudi and Jordanian sides of her life – the seven stars from the Jordanian flag were embroidered on the veil.

The seven stars have a religious significance –  the seven verses in the opening chapter of the Holy Qur’an, and they also reflect the seven mountains of Amman. Palm trees – which are a symbol of Saudi were embroidered on the veil.

Words from Tunisian poet Abu al-Qasim al-Shabi “I see you, and life becomes more beautiful” gave a romantic touch to the veil. The veil alone took almost 760 hours to finish.
