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 arrived from Al Mukallah by 4WD through Wadi Dawan, and after a day of driving and marvelling at the beauty of the region, I managed to arrive in Shibam at around 4. Just in time for a cup of tea and an afternoon stroll in this fairy tale town. Walking through the alleys, it became clear how high the buildings are. Shibam is largely a car-free town because its alleys are simply too narrow to allow for traffic, and it adds to the medieval appeal of clay houses, its quietness and peacefulness, and its dusty streets smelling of animal dung.
