Noor Al-Hussein ( Arabic : نور الحسين ; born Lisa Najeeb Halaby ; August 23, 1951) [1] is an American-born Jordanian philanthropist and activist who is the fourth wife and widow of King Hussein of Jordan . She was Queen of Jordan from their marriage on June 15, 1978, until Hussein's death on February 7, 1999.

Noor is the longest-standing member of the Board of Commissioners of the International Commission on Missing Persons . As of 2011, she is president of the United World Colleges movement and an advocate of the anti- nuclear weapons proliferation campaign Global Zero . In 2015, Queen Noor received Princeton University 's Woodrow Wilson Award for her public service. [2]

Queen Noor was born Lisa Najeeb Halaby [3] [ unreliable source? ] in Washington, D.C. , USA. She is the daughter of Najeeb Halaby (1915–2003) and Doris Carlquist (1918–2015). Her paternal family are Syrian - Lebanese American ; her maternal family are Swedish American . [4] Her father was a Navy experimental test pilot, an airline executive, and government official. He served as an aide to the United States Secretary of Defense in the Truman administration , before being appointed by John F. Kennedy to head the Federal Aviation Administration . Najeeb Halaby also had a private-sector career, serving as CEO of Pan American World Airways from 1969 to 1972. The Halabys had two children following Lisa; a son, Christian, and a younger daughter, Alexa. They divorced in 1977. Her mother, Doris, was of Swedish descent and died on December 25, 2015, aged 97. [5]

Noor's paternal grandfather was Najeeb Elias Halaby, a Syrian-Lebanese businessman born in Zahle , and whose parents hailed from Aleppo , [6] [7] [8] He was a petroleum broker , according to 1920 Census records. [9] Merchant Stanley Marcus , however, recalled that in the mid-1920s, Halaby opened Halaby Galleries, a rug boutique and interior-decorating shop, at Neiman Marcus in Dallas , Texas , and ran it with his Texas-born wife, Laura Wilkins (1889–1987, later Mrs. Urban B. Koen). Najeeb Halaby died shortly afterward, and his estate was unable to continue the new enterprise. [10]

According to research done in 2010 for the PBS series Faces of America by Professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. , of Harvard University, her great-grandfather, Elias Halaby, came to New York around 1891, one of the earliest Syrian-Lebanese immigrants to the United States. He was a Christian as well as having been a provincial treasurer (magistrate) [11] as stated before by Najeeb Halaby in his autobiography Crosswinds: an Airman's Memoir . [6] He left Ottoman Syria with his two eldest sons. His wife, Almas Mallouk, and their remaining children joined him in the United States in 1894. He died three years later, leaving his teenage sons, Habib, and Najeeb (her paternal grandfather), to run his import business. Najeeb moved to Dallas around 1910 and fully assimilated into American society. [12]

Halaby attended schools in New York and California before entering National Cathedral School from fourth to eighth grade. She attended the Chapin School in New York City for two years, [13] and then went on to graduate from Concord Academy , a private boarding school in Concord, Massachusetts . She entered Princeton University with its first coeducational freshman class and received an A.B. in architecture and urban planning in 1974 after completing a 32-page long senior thesis titled "96th Street and Second Avenue." [14] [15] She was also a member of the Princeton University's first women's ice hockey team. [16]

After she graduated from Princeton, Halaby moved to Australia , where she worked for a firm that specialized in planning new towns, with a burgeoning interest in the Middle East , which, because of Halaby's Syrian roots, had special appeal for her. After a year, in 1975, she accepted a job offer from Llewelyn Davies, a British architectural and planning firm, which had been employed to design a model capital city center in Tehran , Iran . When increasing political instability forced the company to relocate to the UK, she traveled to the Arab world and decided to apply to Columbia University 's Graduate School of Journalism while taking a temporary aviation facility research job in Amman. Eventually, she left Arab Air and accepted a job with Alia Airlines to become Director of Facilities Planning and Design. Halaby and the king became friends while he was still mourning the death of his wife . Their friendship evolved and the couple became engaged in 1978. [1]

Halaby wed King Hussein on June 15, 1978, in Amman , becoming Queen of Jordan. [17]

Before her marriage, she accepted her husband's Sunni Islamic religion and upon the marriage, changed her name from Lisa Halaby to the royal name Noor Al-Hussein ("Light of Hussein"). The wedding was a traditional Muslim ceremony. Her conversion to Islam and wedding to the King of Jordan received extensive coverage in the Western press; many assumed that she would be regarded as a stranger to the country, since she was an American of mostly European descent who was raised in Christianity. However, because of her Syrian grandfather, she was considered by most of the population to be an Arab returning home rather than a foreigner. She soon gained power and influence by using her role as King Hussein's consort and her education in urban planning for charitable work and improvement to the country's economy , as well as the empowerment of women in Jordanian economic life. [18]

Noor assumed management of the royal household and three stepchildren, Princess Haya bint Al Hussein , Prince Ali bin Al Hussein and Abir Muhaisen (her husband's children by Queen Alia). [1] Noor and Hussein had four children:

Queen Noor founded the King Hussein Foundation (KHF) in 1979. It includes the Noor Al Hussein Foundation and eight specialized development institutions: the Jubilee Institute, the Information and Research Center, the National Music Conservatory, the National Center for Culture and Arts and the Institute for Family Health, the Community Development Program, Tamweelcom the Jordan Micro Credit Company and the Islamic microfinance company, Ethmar. She is the Honorary Chairperson of JOrchestra. In addition, Queen Noor launched a youth initiative, the International Arab Youth Congress, in 1980. [19]

Queen Noor's international work focuses on environmental issues and the connection to human security with emphasis on water and ocean health. At the 2017 Our Ocean Conference, she delivered a keynote address on the link between climate change and ocean health with human security. [20] Queen Noor is Patron of the International Union for Conservation of Nature, Founding and Emeritus President of BirdLife International, Trustee Emeritus of Conservation International, and an Ocean Elder. [21] She was also chair of King Hussein Foundation International, a US non-profit 501(c)(3) which, since 2001, has awarded the King Hussein Leadership Prize. She is the president of the international board, the governing board of international movement for the UWC movement.

King Hussein died on February 7, 1999, from lymphatic cancer . After his death, his first-born son, Abdullah II , became king and Hamzah became crown prince. In 2004, Prince Hamzah was unexpectedly stripped of his status as heir designate. [22] [23] [24] On July 2, 2009, Abdullah named his eldest son as heir-apparent to the throne, thereby ending the previous five years' speculation over his successor. [23]

Noor divides her time among Jordan , the US ( Washington, D.C. ) and the United Kingdom (in London and at her country residence, Buckhurst Park, near Winkfield in Berkshire ). She continues to work on behalf of numerous international organizations. [25] She speaks Arabic, English and French . The queen also enjoys skiing, water skiing, tennis, sailing, horseback riding, reading, gardening and photography. [26]

Queen Noor of Jordan was born Lisa Najeeb Halaby in Washington, D.C. During her early career, she worked in international urban planning in the United States, Australia, Iran and around the Arab world. She married King Hussein in 1978, and became known for her philanthropic work including advocacy for children, promoting peace and the removal of land mines, protecting the environment from climate change and advocating for cross-cultural understanding. In recognition of her efforts, Queen Noor has received numerous awards and honorary doctorates in international relations, law and humane letters. She has also published two books, Hussein of Jordan and Leap of Faith: Memoirs of an Unexpected Life , which became a New York Times No. 1 best seller published in 17 languages.
Queen Noor of Jordan was born Lisa Najeeb Halaby on August 23, 1951, in Washington, D.C. Her father, Najeeb Elias Halaby, was born in Dallas, Texas of Syrian descent, and distinguished himself as a U.S. Navy test pilot and lawyer who became head of the Federal Aviation Administration under President John F. Kennedy . He was also the CEO of Pan American World Airways. Her mother, Doris Carlquist, was born in Leavenworth, Washington, of Swedish descent, and studied political science at the University of Washington. Lisa grew up in family of privilege where public service was valued. She attended exclusive private schools including the National Cathedral School in Washington D.C., The Chapin School in New York City and Concord Academy in Massachusetts before enrolling in the first co-educational class at Princeton University in 1969.
In 1972, after taking a break from academics to waitress, ski, and study photography in Aspen, Colorado, Lisa returned to Princeton and took up her study of architecture and urban planning with a renewed vigor and drive. After her graduation in 1973, she flew to Australia and worked for an architectural firm that specialized in the design of new towns. At this time, her steadily growing interest in Arab culture took shape in the form of a job offer from Llewelyn-Davies, Weeks—a British architectural firm that had been commissioned to re-plan the city of Teheran—which she immediately accepted.
Lisa returned to the United States in 1976, where she planned to obtain a master's degree in journalism, entertaining the idea of pursuing a career in television production. In the meantime, her father had just accepted an offer from the Jordanian government to help redesign their airlines, forming the company Arab Air Services. He offered Lisa a job and she accepted, foregoing the Columbia School of Journalism to become the Director of Facilities Planning and Design for the airline he founded. She assisted in the design of the Arab Air University, to be built in the Jordanian capital, as well as a housing company for Royal Jordanian Airlines employees.
During this time, Lisa attended several important social events in Jordan, and had the opportunity to meet King Hussein at the opening of Queen Alia International Airport in 1977. The King, who was still mourning the loss of his third wife, Alia, who had died that year in a helicopter crash, took great interest in the airport which was named in her honor. After their first meeting, King Hussein and Halaby became friends, and by 1978, their friendship had evolved into a romance. Lisa later recalled to Domini
