AMMAN - Jordan's King Abdullah II disguised himself on Wednesday in a black dishdasha or thob and traditional red-and-white keffiyeh to inspect services at a health ministry centre in Amman, an official said.
"The king, who was also holding a walking stick, visited the centre this morning and mingled with people to inspect health services provided to them," the official said.
"But he was recognised by some people later..."
The official did not give further details.
Following in the footsteps of his father, the late King Hussein, the Jordanian monarch, 47, has gone undercover several times since he took office in 1999, posing as a taxi driver and an old man to mix with his people.
