About Me:
Hello Youtube!
It's Noel here! A very New Content Creator. I’m from the Philippines and currently working in Saudi Arabia. I am now enjoying creating videos from my random activities -vlog, food, travel adventure, reaction video, etc.
I am still learning on how to make my vlog interesting. I even don’t have the confidence facing the camera, but for sure I am enjoying what I am doing. But, there is one thing that struggles me! My BAD ENGLISH LOL! Yeah I know, I can use my language to my videos, particularly to my vlog but I am thinking about my non-Filipino friends and to my non-Filipino subscribers. That is why I am trying my best to make an English vlog or video.
In no time, I want to become a full-time Youtuber, doing travel vlog and filming.

#Ushaiger #Heritage Village قرية أشيقر التراثية
Ushaiger (Arabic: أشيقر) is a small village near Shagra in Saudi Arabia. It is 200 km NW of Riyadh.Ushaiger is one of the oldest towns in the Saudi region of Najd and it was a major stopping point for pilgrims coming from Kuwait, Iraq and Iran to perform Hajj or Umrah. It was originally known as A’ekel but the name was eventually changed to Ushaiger. It was changed because the town is bordered by a small mountain north of the Village. The mountain is red in color, yet locals said it was blonde simply because red and blonde were used interchangeably in the old days. Ushaiger means the “Small Blonde”, which is a description of that particular mountain.
Historical Ushaiger belongs to the Tamim tribe although other tribes lived there as well. It is also the home land to many families in the Arabian Peninsula. Such families are Al-Elsheikh (The family of Muhammad ibn Abd-al-Wahhab), Al-Thani (Rulers of the State of Qatar) and Al-Misnad originated from Ushaiger.
Lately, the people of Ushaiger had restored the historical village to preserve its heritage and built a museum which displays various relics and pieces from the village

Oman/Beautiful Nakhal Fort Part 38
Welcome to my travelchannel.On my channel you can find more than 1000 films of almost 80 countries. See the playlist on my youtube channel.Enjoy!
Nakhal Fort (Arabic: قلعة نخل Qalʿa Nakhal) is a large fortification in the Al Batinah Region of Oman. It is named after the Wilayah of Nakhal. The fort houses a museum, operated by the Ministry of Tourism, which has exhibits of historic guns, and the fort also hosts a weekly goat market.
The fort, also known as Husn Al Heem, was named after the state of Nakhal where it exists above the old village of Nakhl. It has a history which dates back to the pre-Islamic period. Over the centuries, it underwent many renovations and improvements. It was re-built by Omani architects in the 17th century. Built as a protective measure for an area oasis and nearby trade routes, it passes through the regional capital of Nizwa. The gateway and towers seen now were extensions built in 1834 attributed to imam Said bin Sultan. In 1990, it was fully renovated. Imams of Wadi Bani Kharous and the Ya'arubah dynasty resided here in the past.In November 2003, Prince Charles visited the restored fort during an official visit to Oman.
The fort is approximately 120 kilometres (75 mi) to the west of Muscat, the capital of Oman, at the entrance of Wilayt Nakhal in Wadi Ar Raqeem. It is situated on a rocky prominence at the foot of Jebel Nakhal, a spur of the main Western Hajar range. It is to the northeast of Jabal Akhdar also called green mountain. Nakhal Fort is surrounded by orchards of palm trees. Its battlements provide a view of the Al-Batinah Region. The ancient Nakhal village is below the fort and close by is the warm springs of Ain A'Thawwarah. Nakhal Fort is one of several fortifications in the Al Batinah Region, the others being Al Hazim, Al-Sifalah, Rustaq, and Shinas forts.
Built in the architectural style of the Sultanate of Oman, it is unique in that it was built to fit around an irregularly-shaped rock, with some rock exposures jutting out into the interiors. The fort houses a museum, operated by the Ministry of Tourism with exhibits of historic guns. A weekly Friday goat auction market takes place within the precincts of the fort. During recent renovations the fort has been fitted with traditional furniture, handicrafts and historic artifacts.
Ain a'Thawwarah hot springs:
After we leave the fort, we venture further into the town of Nakhal to Ain a’Thawwarah hot springs. This place reminds me of Wadi Bani Khalid; it’s crammed with locals. The hot spring itself is just a small rectangular concrete pool fed by warm natural spring water and filled with local Omani boys.
