The Order of al-Hussein bin Ali is the highest order of the Kingdom of Jordan. It was founded on 22 June 1949 with one class (i.e. Collar) by King Abdullah I of Jordan with the intended recipients being foreign heads of state and senior royals. [1]

Contents

Unlike other Jordanian orders, the Order of Hussein bin Ali has only one class and it is the kingdom's only collar-grade award.

In 1967, a second class of the Order was instituted as the "Sash of Hussein bin Ali," by order of a decree of King Hussein. This decree was rescinded by King Hussein in 1977 and it reverted to having only one class. Recipients of the Sash during this period were upgraded to the collar automatically in 1977. [2]
