Yemen🇾🇪 hadhramaut shebam (Desert Manhattan)

Shibam, a city located in Hadhramaut, Yemen, is often referred to as the "Manhattan of the Desert" due to its distinctive high-rise mudbrick buildings. The city dates back to the 3rd century AD, making it around 1,700 years old. However, the current structure and layout of the city, particularly its famous mudbrick skyscrapers, primarily date back to the 16th century. This historical architecture has earned Shibam a designation as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.#historicallandmarks
