IRBID —On Sunday, Radwan
Al-Atoum, the Governor of Irbid, initiated a series of new procedures and
mechanisms aimed at enhancing the management of the Umm Al-Namel tourist area
in the Al-Kourah district. The objective is to offer visitors a comfortable environment
to appreciate the region's breathtaking natural beauty, thereby reflecting
Jordan's civilized image.

During a recent tour of the
Wadi Umm Al-Namel area on Sunday, Atoum underscored the area's status as a
magnet for thousands of visitors and tourists, particularly during weekends and
the spring months from January to April. To optimize the visitor experience, he
stressed the necessity for organizational measures, Khaberni reported.
The Governor's office is set
to liaise with the Ministries of Local Administration, Public Works, and
Housing to secure a parcel of land spanning at least 5 dunams or,
alternatively, replace it with state-owned land (pastures). This designated
land will be utilized to establish a diverse service center.
Atoum also emphasized the
importance of raising awareness about preserving tourist sites and protecting
the surrounding environment. Recent efforts by Irbid's municipality saw the
collection of 15 tons of waste in Jebel Birqish over the past two days due to
the heightened presence of visitors in the area.
Furthermore, enhancing
security presence in the region is deemed imperative. An agreement has been
forged with the Director of the West Irbid Police Directorate to set up two
security stations and deploy emergency patrols, traffic police, environmental police,
and anti-begging units. Additionally, expanding the road leading to the Wadi
Umm Al-Namel area is paramount to ensuring seamless traffic flow and preventing
closures.
These measures are
anticipated to yield positive outcomes across multiple fronts. They are poised
to elevate the tourist experience, furnish visitors with a comfortable and
organized environment, and fortify Jordan's standing as a distinctive and
diverse tourist destination committed to sustainable tourism development.
