EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial view captures the historical city of Shibam in southeastern Yemen, showcasing its remarkable architectural beauty. Known as the "Manhattan of the desert, " Shibam is a UNESCO World Heritage site renowned for its stunning 16th-century tower houses. The photo print, taken on March 18, 2009, by REUTERS photographer Khaled Abdullah, transports viewers to this enchanting destination. The image reveals an intricate maze of towering mud-brick structures that dominate the landscape. Each tower house stands tall and proud, displaying exquisite craftsmanship and reflecting centuries-old traditions. These unique buildings not only serve as homes but also symbolize the rich cultural heritage of Yemen. From above, one can appreciate how these ancient towers seamlessly blend into their surroundings while standing out with their distinct charm. The warm hues of the sun-kissed desert enhance the allure of Shibam's skyline against a backdrop of rugged mountains. As we gaze upon this breathtaking scene frozen in time, we are reminded of humanity's ability to create wonders even in harsh environments. This photograph serves as a testament to both human ingenuity and nature's enduring power. REUTERS has once again captured a moment that allows us to marvel at our world's diversity and history through this exceptional visual narrative.
