- Ushaiqer Heritage Village - After journeying for two hours, we arrive at the historic village of Ushaiqer. This village is a prime representation of Najdi architecture and is emblematic of Saudi Arabia’s central plateau. Ushaiqer stands as one of the most ancient settlements, with a history spanning over a thousand years. It served as an essential halt for Hajj or Umrah pilgrims traveling from what is now Kuwait and Iraq to Makkah. Our visit allows us to wander through its slender lanes, flanked by stately traditional homes, palaces, and historical mosques. Additionally, we explore a privately-owned collection of vintage artifacts housed within one of the village’s most exquisite ancient residences. Our tour culminates with a breathtaking panoramic view from a notable vantage point. Subsequently, we indulge in a genuine Arabian picnic set amidst the sand dunes (weather permitting) or dine at a conventional eatery before making our way back to Riyadh.

The excursion is not good... - The excursion is not good value for money. We went on Friday and after the visit of the town we had to come back to Riyadh for lunch because the restaurant in the town was closed for prayer. So 4 hours drive for 1 hour visit to the town and come back to Riyadh for lunch. The lunch was nice
