To discuss girls' education
Michelle Obama to visit Qatar, Jordan
US First Lady Michelle Obama
Washington - Arab Today
Michelle Obama will travel to Qatar and Jordan next month to continue her longstanding efforts to promote girls' education, the White House said Wednesday.
The US first lady will visit a school in Amman built with technical and financial support from the US Agency for International Development and plans to commend Jordan's "generosity and commitment to educating all children living within its borders," a statement said.
Due to the conflict in neighboring Syria, a number of Jordanian schools have welcomed Syrian students to their classrooms.
Jordan is hosting more than 600,000 Syrian refugees, according to the UN High Commissioner for Refugees.
Obama will also visit the ancient city and archaeological site of Petra in Jordan, which President Barack Obama visited in 2013.
In Doha, the first lady will speak at the World Innovation Summit for Education.
She will also visit the US military's Al Udeid air base.

Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris.

Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led
