Inhabited by Bedouins for 1,500 years, Ushaiger, with its springs, olive groves and palm groves, quickly became a popular stopover for pilgrims travelling to Mecca.

Accompanied by your guide, you'll wander through its narrow streets. Admire its traditional houses, palaces and old mosques. You'll also have the opportunity to visit a museum that houses a private collection of antiques, in one of the most town's most beautiful buildings.
