In this Socotra Travel Tours, you’ll learn everything you need to know to visit the mysterious island coined ‘the most alien-looking place on Earth’.
Socotra is located in the Arabian Sea nearly halfway between Yemen and Somalia. About 80 million years ago during the Miocene Epoch, the island was separated from the Arabian Peninsula and left in isolation. Thanks to this long standing isolation it allowed Socotra to become home to one of the highest concentrations of endemic flora and fauna on Earth, putting it up in the ranks of places like the Galapagos, Hawaii, New Caledonia, and New Zealand.
