A historic village called Ushaiger, which is a place that most of us including those who grew up in Riyadh never even heard of has somehow caught the city’s fancy. Seeing its photos you’ll understand why.

It sits 200 km to the northwest of the Saudi capital

What’s best about the place is that most of the historic buildings are much in the same condition that they were in during their glory days

Ushaiger literally translates to “little blonde” in Arabic

The elaborate doors are spectacular

The Saudi Commission for Tourism and National Heritage (SCTH) has also contributed heavily to make it a tourist attraction

With efforts of its residents and the SCTH, Ushaiger now has museums, traditional restaurants and several other touristy amenities
