Located on the Arabian Peninsula, what West Asian country is home to the world's oldest skyscraper city?

While calling the buildings "skyscrapers" is a bit of a stretch, Yemen's city of Shibam is the earliest city to build vertically. Its 16th-century mudbrick buildings climb as high as 11 floors. Now, we know why they call it the "Manhattan of the Desert."
