One of the major sights of Yemen, Shibam is a truly fascinating town boasting the world's first skyscrapers. It is easy to spend hours here in awe of the aesthetically beautiful buildings.
I could not resist coming back to Shibam one early morning, and walked all around the town. Views from the back were truly spectacular, and the absolute silence only interrupted by the barking of a large clan of dogs. The skycrapers defiantly point into the air which they have been doing since some 500 years, although most buildings have been rebuilt in the 19th century. Shibam's origins lie in the spice trade, but its rare beauty have redefined the role of the town as the summum of what clay construction could bring.
