Socotra (Suqutra) is one of those 'lost world' islands (separated from the world six million (or so they say) years ago) where intrepid world travelers -- 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: the usual "look did you see that!" type tourists.
Known for decades as the Galapagos of the Indian Ocean, it's the world's tenth richest island for endemic plant species. And it's the biggest island in the Middle East... It's 125 kilometers in length and 45 kilometers across.
The landscape is one of great contrast. It has many isolated nature preserves, with a varied wild life, over 900 species of plants; including the famous "Dragon's Blood Tree (Dracaena Cinnabar.) Plus some of the rarest birdlife which exist no where on earth. Best of all there are many picturesque sandy beaches for pure enjoyment!
