The Oldest Skyscraper City | Shibam, Yemen
The desert of Yemen, Wadi Hadramout is an ancient walled city Shibam, listed as World Heritage by UNESCO in 1982. It is called the Manhattan of the Desert because of its skyscrapers. Land surrounded by a mud wall, the city of the XVI century is one of the oldest examples of urban planning based on the principle of vertical construction. The ancient city of Shibam, built 400 years ago, was a thriving commercial center. Shibam several times, became the capital of the kingdom of Hadramaut. City famous for its incomparable with anything comparable architecture - all the houses are built in Shibam of adobe bricks. About 500 homes are called high-rises, as they have 5-11 floors, each floor was a single family dwelling. This type of structure were designed to protect residents from Bedouin raids. While Shibam has existed for about 2,500 years, most urban homes were built in the XVI century. Many of them repeatedly rebuilt in later centuries. In Shibam are the highest buildings in the world of clay, some of which rise to 30 meters or more.
These high-rise buildings is a product of the traditional family system. According to local tradition, the family, as the po-hundred, as a rule, does not divide built premises, and expands the up your living space thanks to the original roof. So, from generation to generation, gradually formed a high dwelling. Each of the 500 such houses in Shibam has from 5 to 8 floors, which are home to 7,000 people, that is, on average, every building is designed for more than 100 people. Ground floor is given to animals; the second floor is keep-lischem; third - accommodations. Usually on the third floor room host, fourth and fifth floors are rooms for women and children, on the sixth floor is a common room. In each room is not much space, first and second floors, mostly devoid of windows.
Building materials — In the city of Shibam all objects, including fences, houses, mosques and even schools are built of adobe bricks (they are made of clay, straw and water, dried in the sun for three days and ready for use in construction). Such dwellings may persist for centuries and are a marvel of architecture. This is explained by negligible rainfall in this region, at best, can be a bit pomorosit. Every year the residents of Shibam and paint the exterior walls are whitewashed, and this is sufficient to prevent water erosion. Shibam is built from environmentally friendly materials and blending in perfectly with the environment.
Shibam is 160 km long and 2 km wide, and is a dry valley. Here rainfall, torrential rains and floods are rare. However, in 1298 and in 1532 was twice destroyed Shibam floods. Today's buildings are constructed of Shibam, mainly 400 years ago.

Shibam, the world's first skyscraper city This city is often called the First Skyscraper City in the World and the Manhattan of the Desert. Founded some 1800 years ago the city was once the capital of the Hadramawt Kingdom in what is now eastern Yemen. However, most of the current city dates from the 1500s CE, its buildings having been restored and rebuilt numerous times in the proceeding centuries. Today approximately 7000 residents call the city home in an area of only 9 hectares or 1.2 km2. It is believed that the density of city and the towers are a defensive measure which, along with the Walls of Shibam, protected the city from Bedouin raids. All of the houses of Shibam are built of mud brick typical of the region. Some 500 towers exist within the walls which rise from 5 to 11 stories in height. These are some of the tallest mud buildings in the world, some 30m (100 feet) in height. To protect the buildings from rain and erosion fresh layers of mud must constantly be reapplied providing employment to the worlds oldest group of high-rise scaffold workers.

Schibam / Shibam - Das Manhattan der Wüste - 2008 - JEMEN / Yemen
Schibam befindet sich im mittleren Wadi Hadramaut und hat über 13.000 Einwohner. Die Verwaltungseinheit Schibam weist eine Bevölkerung von 59.285 auf.Die alte Stadt umfasst eine Fläche von 250 Meter × 350 Meter und ist für ihre mehrstöckigen Wohnhäuser aus Lehmziegeln berühmt. Viele der Gebäude sind bis zu 25 Meter hoch und haben ein Alter von bis zu 500 Jahren. Die Stabilität der Häuser wird unter anderem durch eine konsequente Verringerung der Mauerstärken nach oben gesichert, sowie durch ein rigides Modulsystem von Wand- und Fensterachsen und einem System von Holzsäulen und Holzdecken, mit denen die Lehmwände miteinander verzahnt sind. Die Lehmoberflächen müssen regelmäßig erneuert werden. Die Dächer und sensible Bauteile sind durch Kalkputz geschützt, der nur etwa alle 25 Jahre erneuert werden muss.
Dieses Stadtensemble wurde 1982 von der UNESCO in das Weltkulturerbe aufgenommen. Am 2. Juli 2015 wurde es aufgrund der potenziellen Gefährdung durch den bewaffneten Konflikt auf die Rote Liste des gefährdeten Welterbes gesetzt.

Shibam is often called the Manhattan of the Desert due to its distinctive skyline of towering mud-brick buildings, which have earned it a UNESCO World Heritage status. Here's a short tourism introduction to this unique destination:
Nestled in the Hadhramaut Valley of Yemen, Shibam is a picturesque town that seems to have emerged from the sands of time. Its most striking feature is its vertical architecture, characterized by densely packed, multi-story mud-brick buildings that reach up to eight stories high. These iconic structures, known as skyscrapers of the desert, have been intricately constructed and have stood for centuries, showcasing the architectural ingenuity of the past.
Shibam is a living testament to the region's ancient history, dating back over 1,500 years. Visitors to Shibam can explore its winding narrow streets, bustling markets, and intricate alleyways, all while immersing themselves in the local culture and history. The town's defensive walls and gateways, like the Bab al-Bayt, further illustrate the significance of this historic trading hub.
The region surrounding Shibam offers captivating landscapes, including the dramatic cliffs and wadis of the Hadhramaut Valley, adding a touch of natural beauty to the experience. Travelers can also discover the local cuisine, renowned for its aromatic spices and delicious traditional dishes.
However, it's important to note that due to the geopolitical situation in Yemen, travel to Shibam and the country as a whole may not be recommended or safe at certain times.

Shibam - Iémen
Shibam, localiza-se em Hadramaut, Iémen. Foi declarada Património Mundial da Humanidade pela Unesco em 1982.
Shibam foi durante muito tempo a capital do Reino de Hadramaut, Iémen. A maior parte das construções são torres e edifícios elevados datados do século XVI, criando uma muralha, que serve de protecção contra ataques de tribos nómadas como os beduínos. Essas construções elevadas deram a Shibam, a mais antiga cidade de arranha céus do mundo, o título de Manhattan do deserto, o mais antigo exemplo de planeamento urbano baseado no princípio da construção vertical
