Apparently, Madonna has crossed over the dead sea on her trip to Israel to go visit Jordan. And who was there to receive her? None other than Queen Rania herself. This would be Madonna’s second reported visit to the Arab world. Back in the early 80s’ she went to Morocco to shoot something for a French TV channel and absolutely hated it. That is documented in Christopher Ciccone’s tell-all. That’s more than a quarter of a century ago.
She has taken inspiration from most cultures on earth, but she has yet to do so from the Arab world. She is probably there to visit the religious cites. Maybe, Petra and the baptism location on the river of Jordan. She should go to the Palestinian Territories and see the living conditions there. Oh, and Beirut for a grand old party.
She did feature an Arabic translation of a lyric in her “Bedtime Story” video!
And here’s a photo of her sightseeing in Jordan

She also visited Morocco during the Bedtime Story era on her birthday. That time, she adored it!
