Faisal al-Fayez (Arabic: فيصل الفايز) (born 20 December 1952 in Amman) is a Jordanian politician who was the Prime Minister of Jordan from 25 October 2004 to 6 March 2005. He took office following the resignation of Ali Abu al-Ragheb.[1][2] He resigned after being criticized for not being reformist enough. He previously served as Defence Minister and is close to the king. He was educated at the College De La Salle, Amman, Jordan (1970) and then went on to Cardiff University, United Kingdom, where he received a degree in political science in 1978. In 1981, he has a master's degree in international relations from Boston University.[3]
