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.
In several places, it is possible to see men working hard to mix water, earth and straw, use frames to mold them into uniform shapes, and then let them dry to make them turn into bricks. What attracted me even more, were the mysterious women working the fields. Dressed all in black, and veiled, they also wore high straw hats which gave them a witch like appearance. They were mysterious because I only saw them every now and then, and they are elusive and appear to be shy. At the same time, they are highly photogenic and during my time in Wadi Hadramawt, I was desperately looking for an opportunity to take their picture, always respecting their wish not to be photographed.
