Ushaiqer Village Tour

We will pick you up at your hotel in Riyadh and travel northwest to Ushaiqer, approximately two hours away. This World Heritage Site is located at the foot of a red mountain, contributing to its historical significance, being over a millennium old.

Ushaiqer has served as a key stop for pilgrims traveling to Mecca from Kuwait due to its freshwater springs and extensive olive and palm plantations that provide shade from the desert heat.

During the tour, we will walk through Ushaiqer's narrow streets, observing its traditional Najdi-style houses, elegant palaces, and ancient mosques.

We will also visit the Al Salem Museum, showcasing local heritage with displays of ancient tools, embroidered clothing, jewellery, and weapons.

Before returning to Riyadh, we will enjoy a picnic lunch in the desert. The entire tour lasts about 8 hours, concluding with your return to the hotel.
