Photograph by George Steinmetz Known as the Medieval Manhattan, #Shibam,Yemen was once an important stop for camel caravans bringing frankincense from Oman to the Mediterranean. It remains one of the great masterpieces of Arabian architecture, with tower homes up to eight stories tall that are built entirely from mud and palm timbers.

I took this photo while flying my motorized #paraglider over the town, and created quite a ruckus. After landing and an interview with the local police captain, I was invited in for tea and hospitality, and noticed that the mud floor of an upper story flexed like the skin of an old drum under my feet. My hosts told me that the tower home seen at the near corner of the walled city had simply dissolved while its owner was away working in Dubai, as there was no one to fix a leaky water tap. #unescoheritage follow @geosteinmetz to discover more of our world from above
