Ushaiqer Heritage Village tour

Kickstart your trip and explore the Ushaiqer heritage village where you will be introduced to the charming nature and ancient architecture of Saudi Arabia. While also giving you the opportunity to experience some awesome Saudi customs and traditions. Hidden in the heart of the Najd, lies an enchanting oasis-dotted region 200 km northwest of Riyadh, Ushaiger Heritage Village provides a glimpse of a slow-paced Saudi society of old ways of life. Bedouins first settled here 1,500 years ago and the town quickly became a popular stopping point for pilgrims crossing to Makkah, thanks to its springs and low-brimmed olive and palm groves. Ushaiqer meaning ‘little blonde’ to reflect the nearby red mountain that looms over the yellow mud houses, still has a small community of residents, making use of its schools, shops and mosques. To walk its narrow lanes is to enter a living museum, draped with traces of an ancient way of life.
