After landing at Split's airport in the afternoon, the Jordanian royal family was driven to Trogir, where they took a boat to the island of Hvar, where they will stay until July 26.
The royal family is expected to visit the southern Adriatic city of Dubrovnik.
This is the Jordanian sovereign's second visit to Dalmatia. As an heir to the throne he landed at Split's airport 13 years ago to visit the Jordanian troops which were stationed in Primosten as part of the UN peacekeepers.
According to the media, King Abdullah II will be guarded by tight police.
