Sharifa Dina bint Abdul-Hamid (Arabic: دينا بنت عبد الحميد; born 15 December 1929) is the former Queen of Jordan as the first wife of King Hussein. She is the mother to his oldest child, Princess Alia. She and the king were married from 1955 to 1957, and in 1970 she remarried a high-ranking official in the PLO. She is a graduate of Cambridge University and a former lecturer in English literature at Cairo University.
Princess Dina was born in Cairo, Egypt, to Sharif Abdul-Hamid bin Muhammad Abdul-Aziz Al-Aun (1898–1955) and his wife, Fahria Brav (died 1982). A member of the House of Hashemite, she is also entitled to use the honorific title sharifa of Mecca as an agnatic descendant of Hasan ibn Ali and was a third cousin to her father-in-law, King Talal. Dina's lineage, like her future husband, could be traced back to the Prophet Muhammad. Through her mother, Dina was connected to Egypt's Circassian elite. Her father and uncles claimed a waqf that consisted of nearly 2,000 feddans.
