中文注释:

也门希巴姆古城矗立在鲁布哈利{或称为空城}的沙漠里,占据了阿拉伯半岛1/15的面积。这些独具特色的泥砖摩天楼容纳了5000希巴姆居民,因此这座城市被誉为“沙漠中的曼哈顿”。

英文注释:

Mudbrick Houses, Shibam, Yemen, 2005

The city of Shibam, Yemen, rises from the Rub al Khali, or Empty Quarter, a sea of sand that occupies one-fifth of the Arabian Peninsula. The distinctive mud-brick skyscrapers that house Shibam's 5,000 residents have earned the city its nickname: "Manhattan of the Desert."
