Ushayqir Heritage Village
Has an interesting hour or so rambling around this heritage village. It was really a town. I got a strong sense of how the town might have felt when in its hay day. It felt like its decline was fairly recent. I guessing oil and it’s resultant wealth made the town, build with mud and straw, less desirable and harder to maintain than a modern building.
I met a young man and he told me his grandfather taught in the school there. I was outside the school when I met him. He translated a plaque erected to his grandfather.
