A very unique spot for a walk through history, beauty and simplicity. Ushaiqer is a standing ancient village that outlines the beauty of Najdi style and art.
The heritage site is consisting of mud houses, marketplace, museum, and mosques which were built to withstands the toughest conditions of the desert. The village is surrounded by ancient farmlands and packed with houses in all sizes and styles placed between narrow alleyways that seems like an endless maze; tempting everyone to wander around its charming neighborhoods.
The mud buildings reveals many historical aspects and clearly outshine the skills of its inhabitants who resourcefully developed their building techniques to deliver residential units capable of expressing their lifestyles. Walking down the village is a unique captivating experience which reveals precious historical information and conveys the invincible momentum of its inhabitants who manged to overcome the desert with their impressive civilization.
Noteworthy, the local families voluntarily renovated the village on their personal expenses to preserve their culture and heritage. An efforts that deserve the ultimate recognition.
