Mosque and surrounding houses in Shibam - called Manhattan of the Desert, in Yemen.
10 storey skyscrapers "Built on Faith", as they say in Shibam. Meaning build from mud! It's hard to believe they stand for centuries!
Shibam, Manhattan of the Desert seen from the distance. Unbelievable how they could build a city like this deep in desert.
Shibam architecture as seen from above.

All the village (well, looks more like a city!) built out of mud.
City of Al Mukalla in Yemen.
