Her Royal Highness Princess Sara bint Faisal of Jordan, the niece of Their Majesties King Abdullah II and Queen Rania, has announced her engagement to Ali Al-Sawaf.

Princess Sara celebrated the occasion in traditional Jordanian style with a family ceremony attended by her uncle, King Abdullah II; her cousin, His Royal Highness Crown Prince Al Hussein Bin Abdullah II; His Royal Highness Prince El Hassan Bin Talal; and her father, His Royal Highness Prince Faisal bin Al Hussein.

Sara is the younger sister of Prince Omar and Princess Ayah and the identical twin of Princess Aisha. Her mother is Princess Alia Tabbaa, and she also has two younger half-siblings, Prince Abdullah and Prince Mohammed.

The Princess’s fiancé, Ali Al-Sawaf, was born in Jeddah and is an alumnus of King’s Academy, like Crown Prince Al Hussein, Princess Sara’s cousin. He holds a degree in Computer Science from King’s College in the UK and currently works as an AI engineer, specialising in advanced technological solutions.

Princess Sara, 27, holds a bachelor’s degree in Interior Architecture and a master’s degree in Events and Design Management from the University of Westminster in the United Kingdom.

Beyond her academic pursuits, Princess Sara is deeply committed to the development of Jordan’s sport sector. Her dedication to this field has driven her to contribute actively to its advancement.

Currently, she serves as the Assistant Director of the Olympic Preparation Centre, where she utilises her expertise to support Jordanian athletes and foster their growth.

The Royal Family has celebrated a series of engagements and weddings over the past year, including that of Princess Sara’s twin, Princess Aisha, and the Crown Prince’s long-time friend, Kareem Yazid Al Mufti, in June 2024.
