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.
Before sunset, I was sure to climb the hill at the edge of the wadi to have a better view over the town and was not disappointed. It was truly marvellous to see the high rise buildings as a not to be missed mark in the wadi, with the sunlight playing hide and seek on the side and top of the village. From a distance, it certainly seems that Shibam is one big house, instead of a collection of some 500 independent houses, and that's mainly because they are built so close together.
