Ushaiqer Village Tour

At the scheduled time, we will pick you up at your hotel in Riyadh and head northwest to Ushaiqer, known for its cultural significance. The journey takes approximately two hours.

Upon arrival at Ushaiqer, a World Heritage Site, we will explore the village, which is over a millennium old. It has historically served as a reference point for pilgrims traveling to Mecca due to its freshwater springs and olive and palm plantations, providing shade from the desert.

During our visit, we will walk through narrow streets, viewing traditional Najdi-style houses, palaces, and ancient mosques. We will also enter the Al Salem Museum, showcasing the local heritage, including ancient tools, embroidered clothing, jewellery, and weapons.

Before returning to Riyadh, we will stop for a picnic lunch in the desert. After a full day, we will return you to your hotel about 8 hours after the start of the tour.
