What is a royal procession?
Jordan's royal procession was launched after the founding of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. And it is considered the main highlight of Jordanian national occasions.
The royal procession consists of 20 red Land Rover cars, 14 of which participate in the procession, and 6 reserve cars, accompanied by 10 motorcycles.
The cars usually surround the king or the royal's car along the path during national events, and special occasions.
The royal procession is usually carried by 71 members of the Royal Guard, all wearing red scarves. The red cars were initially accompanied by white horses ridden by knights, however, the horses were later replaced by motorcycles.
