城墙环绕的希巴姆古城

建于16世纪的希巴姆古城堡被军事防御墙所环绕，是基于垂直建筑规则建造的最古老、最杰出的城市规划典范之一。古城建在悬崖峭壁之上，其塔状建筑令人印象深刻，城市由此得名“沙漠中的曼哈顿”。

Surrounded by a fortified wall, the 16th-century city of Shibam is one of the oldest and best examples of urban planning based on the principle of vertical construction. Its impressive tower-like structures rise out of the cliff and have given the city the nickname of ‘the Manhattan of the desert’.
