Irbid, Sept. 29 (Petra) -- As part of the 10th International "Knights and Knightesses of the Message" Conference held in Amman under the title "Knights of Peace," an Arab delegation comprising influential figures visited the town of Kufr Soum in the Bani Kinanah District on Tuesday to tour archaeological and tourist sites.
The visiting delegation, which included 150 media, academic, parliamentary, cultural, and economic figures, as well as female pioneers and influential personalities from several Arab countries, began its tour with a visit to the Obeidat tribe's diwan, where diwan head Ahmad Obeidat welcomed the Arab delegation, affirming that Jordan's doors are open to brothers and friends and that such gatherings transcend the occasion to become bridges for acquaintance and cooperation.
Obeidat reviewed aspects of the region's history and the sacrifices and contributions its people have made to national development, dwelling on the legacy of Sheikh Kaid Al-Mufleh Obeidat and his standing in national memory.
He affirmed that Jordan, under its Hashemite leadership, has remained a model for entrenching the values of peace, security, and safety, and a message of moderation that unites rather than divides, stressing that meeting Arab brothers in Jordan is a natural extension of historical relations.
For his part, writer Mohammad Kanan from Palestine spoke about the strength of Jordanian-Palestinian relations, praising Jordanian and Hashemite positions in support of the Palestinian cause.
Kanan affirmed that Jordan and Palestine share inseparable historical and human bonds and that such gatherings reinforce Arab unity of conscience.

The tour also included visits to the Yarmouk Forest Nature Reserve, the Umm Qais archaeological site, the Abila archaeological site, and the site of the immortal Battle of Yarmouk, in a journey combining natural beauty and the fragrance of history, offering guests a picture of the tourism and cultural diversity that northern Jordan's regions abound in.
