Descripción

Situada a unos 200 kilómetros al noroeste de Riyadh, cerca de la ciudad de Shagra, Ushaiger Heritage Village es una de las aldeas más antiguas de la región. El nombre 'Ushaiger' se traduce como 'pequeña rubia' y proviene de la cercana montaña roja que se yergue alta, ensombreciendo las casas de barro amarillo de Ushaiger Heritage Village.

Historia y cultura

Históricamente, el pueblo ha sido un importante punto de parada para los peregrinos que vienen de Kuwait debido a sus manantiales de agua dulce y porque los olivos y palmeras agrupados en esta región brindan una gran sombra. Un museo establecido por los lugareños, llamado Museo Al Salem, ofrece una visión del patrimonio del pueblo con su famoso armamento, utensilios, ropa bordada y joyas.

Los habitantes de Ushaiger Village son muy hospitalarios y amables y, por lo general, siempre están dispuestos a ayudar a los visitantes. Han formado una pequeña comunidad que ha desarrollado sus tiendas, mezquitas y escuelas para satisfacer sus necesidades. Debes dar un paseo por las calles de este pueblo para echar un vistazo a la vida de los lugareños.

Dividido en distritos, algunas partes del pueblo incluso tienen casas renovadas que dan un vistazo a la arquitectura Najdi con sus puertas de madera tallada, techos triangulares y hermosas ventanas. También puede conducir hasta la carretera de montaña y disfrutar de una vista de 360 grados del pueblo desde la cima.

For people who loves ruins, this village offers a glimpse of past dwellings made of mud. There's a few infrastructure improvements done by private owners but overall, looks and feels very authentic (think dirriyah before it turned into a disneyland). It also helps that shops are run by locals, so one gets a good character of the village. Enjoy getting lost in the maze of the alleyways, as each corner presents a surprise for history lovers. AND it's free. Best to come after 4pm and stay for sunset to see the change of colors in the village.

Good cultural experience to see this heritage village. Besides walking through the village, the visit to the souvenir shop was also very interesting and educational with the huge array of local cultural and historical antiques and products. Pleasant visit

Visited during Eid 2023 - April 22nd and it was practically empty which is great! We drove right in and parked in front of museum. Walked around the village and in the alleyways and it was a cool temperature. Najdi architecture is stunning!

Super “cool” experience.. when we reached there it was 2:30 and temperature was 30 degree.. we thought of canceling the visit because of the hot climate, but by luck we decided to check inside just for curiosity.. surprisingly the temps inside the village was around 24-26… literally it was cold.. we spent 1.5 hours in that village to enjoy the marvelous construction to prevent outside heat and very comfortable stay.. the construction was done with mud, tree trunks, stones and dates tree leaves.. The village roads were well connected and walked through each and every path..
