Review

Shibam Hadramout stands as one of the most extraordinary architectural experiments ever created in an ancient urban setting. Often referred to as the Manhattan of the Desert, the city demonstrates that traditional materials can achieve remarkable efficiency when paired with intelligent design. ##YemenArchitecture #EarthenArchitecture #Hadramout #MudbrickSkyscrapers #Shibam

#TIL, it’s not just #Kowloon, this walled city also seems to have been the inspiration for a game or two.

Almost forgot about the #fensterfreitag / #windowfriday. 🙂

So I'd like to show you a photo that I took in "Manhattan of clay" - Shibam. It is the historic capital of the region Hadramaut in Yemen.

It is part of the UNESCO world heritage. A most amazing place.

I chose not a city view but a detail - inside a storage room with windows and some authentic containers.
