The project aims to conserve Shibam’s unique earthen architectural heritage while strengthening social cohesion. It will restore up to 60 historic buildings, including private, waqf, and state-owned houses, as well as complete the rehabilitation of the North Palace, South Palace, and the Civil Affairs building. The initiative also addresses critical infrastructure issues affecting heritage preservation, such as water drainage, electricity systems, and the impact of cement paving on erosion. Additionally, it will assess climate change risks—including rising temperatures, humidity fluctuations, and extreme weather events—and implement sustainable adaptation measures. The project further establishes a museum and training center in the South Palace, bringing together dispersed collections, supporting traditional arts and crafts, and enabling online learning through a dedicated video-conferencing facility. Throughout, on-the-job training will ensure that local heritage professionals gain practical conservation skills.
