Will the voices of Antara Al-Absi, Imru' al-Qais, Al-A'sha, Zuhair bin Abi Sulma and Qais bin al-Mulawwah attend in their civilizational poetic form again?

This is confirmed by the initiative of His Highness Prince Badr bin Abdullah bin Farhan, Minister of Culture, who announced a new and innovative cultural project bearing the title: "The Path of Arabic Poetry", which aims to document and develop the sites and places mentioned in the poems of the most famous ancient Arab poets such as: Al-A'sha Maymoun Qais, Antara bin Shaddad Al-Absi, Zuhair bin Abi Sulma, Imru' al-Qais and Al-Nabigha Al-Dhubyani, Amr bin Kulthum and Labid bin Rabi'a, and other prominent poets in the early Islamic era and subsequent eras such as Ka'b bin Zuhair, Hassan bin Thabit, Abdullah bin Rawaha and the Udhri poets such as: Qais bin al-Mulawwah, Qais bin Dharih, Jamil bin Muammar and others among dozens of poets who lived in the Arabian Peninsula. His Highness's initiative points to a discerning follow-up of the Saudi-Arab and global cultural role that awaits the transformation of these places mentioned in poetry into cultural and tourist places, as it also signifies in its deeper dimension a tribute to poets and a celebration of them and authentic Arabic poetry. While reading our ancient, authentic Arabic poetry, we stop at many places mentioned by Arab poets, especially poets of the pre-Islamic era and the poets of the ten Mu'allaqat, and various Islamic eras. Imru' al-Qais begins his Mu'allaqa by mentioning several places, where he says: "Halt, let us weep for the memory of a lover and a dwelling / in the falling of the sand between Al-Dukhul and Hawmal / then Toudih and Al-Miqrat, whose traces have not worn away / because they were woven by both south and north winds." So mountainous places like: Saqt al-Liwa, Al-Dukhul, Hawmal, Toudih, and Al-Miqrat are distributed in the deserts of Wadi Al-Dawasir, and other places. The old Manfuha district is among the places mentioned by Al-A'sha in his poems, with other places such as: Mihras, Marid, and Al-Hair, where Al-A'sha says: "Your homelands have yearned for you from Qatla / By the shore, then Al-Watr then Al-Hajir / For the corner of Mihras to Marid / Then the plain of Manfuha then Al-Hair." Yaqut Al-Hamawi said in his book: "Dictionary of Countries": "Mihras is a place in Yamama from the dwellings of Al-A'sha, they said Al-A'sha used to live in this crack." There is the valley of Al-Watr (Al-Batha currently) and Al-A'sha also mentioned it in his saying: "So make way for it to flow through Khanzeer then its gravel / until Al-Watr and Al-Habl follow it." There is (Al-Jaza'a) which is an agricultural area located in southern Riyadh near the factories, at the end of Wadi Hanifa, about which the poet Duraid bin Al-Simmah said: "So Al-Halif passed to Wasit / so that is my winter dwelling and that is my summer dwelling." While Antara Al-Absi mentions (Uyun Al-Jiwa) in the Qassim region, as for the mountains (Al-Qahr), (Mazanna) and (Sanama), Labid bin Muammar mentioned them in his Mu'allaqa. In Al-Qahr mountains, there is a number of ancient inscriptions dating back 7,000 years, and there are inscriptions from the era of Dhu Nuwas and the incident of the trench. There is the incense burner of Hatim Al-Tai in Hail, as well as Mount (Khazaz) mentioned by Amr bin Kulthum in his Mu'allaqa. Also mentioned were the mountains of Aja and Salma, which turned into a poetic legend shrouded in a sentimental story, in a number of poets' poems. Perhaps the mountains of (Al-Toubad) are among the most famous mountains of the Peninsula that embraced many sentimental stories, especially in the well-known story between Qais bin al-Mulawwah and Layla Al-Amiriya, in which Qais was nicknamed (the Madman). Among the most prominent places that can be turned into a tourist shrine and a real horse racing track is the place where a race between the two horses took place: Dahis and Al-Ghabraa in the north of the Kingdom, which is a racetrack with a length of about 15 km and is a paved track that can be rediscovered and developed to host a number of local and international horse races. There are many places including valleys, cliffs, homes, caves, and mountains, mentioned by ancient Arab poets, embraced by the territory of the Kingdom currently, which can become among the most beautiful places suitable for tourism work, especially if developed, and are also suitable for establishing art houses, places for filming cinema movies, or open museums for visual art. On the other hand, His Highness's tweet in which he referred to this cultural, civilizational, tourist project received many follow-ups and comments, including scientific references to the places mentioned in the poets' poems, where a comment indicated that among the most important books that defined the names of places in Arabic poetry: "Atlas of Place Names in Arabic Poetry: The Ten Mu'allaqat" authored by Mohammed bin Ahmed Al-Rashid and Abdullah bin Saleh Al-Unaizan. The critic Dr. Mastoura Al-Arabi saw that the Arabic poetry path project is "a great connection project between Arabic poetry and its human, historical and geographical depth that will allow the citizen, resident and visitor to..."
