Socotra Island
Socotra, the largest island in the Socotra archipelago, is a one-of-a-kind destination. This small volcanic island, which is nominally part of Yemen, is close to key maritime routes. For a long time, it was thought to be part of the Aden Governorate.
It is now a recognized independent country. Socotra Island, Yemen, is worth a visit whether you're seeking a solitary, natural paradise or an unusual experience.
The only region of Yemen not held by the UAE is Socotra Island, which explains the island's difficult status. Socotra can only be reached by chartering a huge fishing boat capable of traveling 105 kilometers. It is possible to see all of Socotra in three months, but you should plan your flights a few months ahead of time to escape the tourist rush.
The Hajhir Mountains and the Zahek Sand Dunes are the two primary attractions of Socotra. Both of these places are natural beauty sites where you can hike or camp while taking in the scenery and fauna. A camel journey to Skand Valley is one of the most authentic ways to experience the nation. Durhur Canyon, which is surrounded by seventy-meter-high walls, is well worth a visit. Take a safari tour through the Zahek and Hayf Sand Dunes if you wish to go on a desert safari.
