to Socotra Island
Socotra is one of those “lost world” islands (Socotra island separated from the world six million years ago) where intrepid travellers – particularly those seeking exotic nature and wildlife in a remote tropical setting- can go days on end without rubbing shoulders with that less-than-endangered species – tourist.
Socotra island has been known for decades as the Galapagos of the Indian Ocean. The Island of Socotra in Yemen is the world’s tenth most prosperous island for endemic plant species. And the biggest island in the Middle East – 125 kilometres in length and 45 kilometres across.
Meanwhile, the landscape is one of contrasts: because of its isolation, nature preserves spectacular wildlife (including 900 species of plants and the famous Socotra Dragon’s blood tree “dracaena cinnabari” and some of the rarest birds which exist nowhere else in the world), and picturesque sandy beaches.
