Rania has vowed to work to break down such preconceptions and has said she wants people to "know the real Arab world ... unedited, unscripted and unfiltered."
The YouTube channel invites viewers to give their opinions of the Middle East and talk about stereotyped images they may have of Arabs and Muslims.
"In a world where it's so easy to connect to one another, we still remain very much disconnected," Rania said on her Web site. "There's a whole world of wonder out there that we cannot appreciate with stereotypes."
