Description

Socotra Island, is one of the most-isolated landforms on Earth.
Due to its remarkable biodiversity, with over a third of the local plant species found nowhere else, Socotra has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
It lies in the Indian Ocean on a mid-oceanic volcanic ridge 500km roughly 130km long and 35km wide.
It also is one of the richest island floras in the world. Socotra has been described as the “Galapagos of the Arabian peninsula”.

The Island is new to tourism, so if you are looking for a luxurious vacation this is not the right destination. However, Socotra is a perfect destination for the adventurous and nature loving travelers. Socotra takes pride in their eco-tourism and values their spectacular plant and wildlife that may sometimes be only found on this island.

Although the lodging and facilities may not be the same as more modern and developed locations, Socotra is a beautiful and magnificent destination choice. Great care is shown to both guests and the environment.
