    Getting TO/AROUND: Unless you already have your own jeep+driver (like most tourists do) the best way to move around the cities (Shibam-Say'un-Tarim) in Wadi Hadramawt) is shared or contract taxis.
    There were many yellow coloured old aged taxis at the main entrance to Shibam village. Drivers speak minimal or no english. But for a good price you can hire a taxi for sightseeing all these cities in one day.
    The good news is that NO permits were requested to travel around these cities plus NO police check points... Very relaxed!!
