Awdat Sudair Heritage Village
Awdat Sudair is known for its fertile land and many valleys, which has led to thriving farming and wide pastures. Its people depend first of all on agriculture, and farmers produce the finest types of wheat, corn and barley. They also take great care of palm trees and produce many kinds of dates, such as Khudhari, Muqfazi, Dukhaini, Halwa, Saqai, Maskani and Sawdi. The village depends on the floods that run in Wadi Sudair, known to the townspeople as Al Baten: when this valley flows, the wells fill with water and the palms are irrigated. Several other valleys also contribute, such as Wadi Al Jawfa, which irrigates the upper part of the town; Wadi Al Shuaba, which irrigates the lower part of the town; and Wadi Al Dakhila, which irrigates the lower part of the town and Sanaa south of the town (the private flood channel), which irrigates the farms and palace of the Al Eissa family. Social life in Awdat Sudair reflects the traditions and heritage of the people of Najd. The Najdi Ardah has been passed down there since ancient times, and the people are keen to perform it on happy occasions, especially on Eid day. Among the folk arts loved by poetry lovers are the harvest song, sung by farmers especially among the wheat ears, and the poetry art known as al-radd, along with popular poetry. Signs of renewal and development have reached Awdat Sudair as they have the Kingdom's other cities and villages, with modern housing, commercial institutions, and educational and health facilities
