The largest wadi in the Arabian Peninsula, Wadi Hadramawt is home not only to famous towns like Shibam and Tarim, but it has much more to offer.
The main feature of Wadi Hadramawt is of course the famous towns like Shibam and Tarim. Apart from those, there are numerous other villages and towns, nearly always built on the edge of the wadi where the lower plain gives way to the walls of the desert plateaus above. This was done to protect the villages against possible floods that would run through the wadi. Still now, most buildings are made with mud bricks so typical of this area, although in some cases you can see other materials being used. Building is perhaps faster, but the isolation from the scorching heat is certainly much less.
