Il programma nel dettaglio
We reach the
traditional village of Ushaiqer after a two-hour drive. One of the most vibrant examples of Najdi architecture, Ushaiqer is typical of the central plateau of Saudi Arabia.
Ushaiqer is one of the oldest towns, existing for “over a millennium” and it was a major stopping point for pilgrims coming from territories that are now Kuwait and Iraq to perform Hajj or Umrah in Makkah. We get the opportunity to roam its
narrow alleyways that run between
elegant traditional houses, palaces, and old mosques. We also visit a private collection of
old antiques at a museum in one of the most beautiful old houses in the village.
We conclude our visit with an
impressive view overlooking the area. After that, we will have an
authentic Arabian lunch at a traditional restaurant before returning to Riyadh.
