10 Best place to visit in Hadibu Yemen

Travel Diary: Socotra (Yemen) .. in 90 seconds 🇾🇪

Socotra, as I remember it, from my journey in 2007.

If you liked this travel diary, you might also like my Sanaa (Yemen) video:

Socotra - a Yemeni island in the Indian Ocean, close to the Horn of Africa - has a unique landscape, beautiful beaches, and the rare dragon blood trees, which look like giant mushrooms. It looked so different, it felt like visiting another planet with a harsh environment and exotic plant life. Many plants and trees are native to Socotra, and nowhere else to be found.

At the time, the tourist infrastructure was quite basic, meaning you hired a driver/guide and packed a tent. With the exception of Hadibu, the island’s capital, hotels were non-existent. What I remember fondly of Hadibu where goats eating the leftovers in basic restaurants and vultures sitting on every rooftop, like in a western movie.

The white-sand beaches of Socotra were amazing - I have never seen the like. And usually you had them all for yourself, as not many people where travelling here. Although I remember that one night, camping at a beach, we realised that it was also home to a clan of crabs, and the clickety-click of their movements made sleep almost impossible.

Socotra was also great for hiking. There were many panoramic paths through the mountains, often with views of the Indian Ocean, and technically not too difficult.

One can only hope that the situation in Yemen changes for the better and peace returns. Socotra would certainly have the potential to become a prime tourist destination again.

This is Socotra! - Sand dunes, cave lunch and a lagoon

In this travel video from Socotra Yemen we start by hiking in the dark up to the sand dunes to watch the sunrise. It was a challenging hike up but so worth it. The views form the top were amazing. Then it was time to run down the sand dunes which was way more fun than hiking up them. We came back to camp to have breakfast and pack up. It was then time to head towards the East part of the island. On the way we stopped off at the Socotra Folk museum. We also made a stop in Hadibo which is the capital city on the island. There we had some fresh juice before heading to Qalasiyah and the Detwah Lagoon. He went to a cave where we had lunch with one of the local men who lives in the cave. It was then time to explore the lagoon and se the wild life that lives there. We spotted lots of puffer fish, a turtle, a manta and an octopus.

I am Grace on Tour and travel has been my biggest passion ever since I can remember. My very first international trip was done two weeks after I was born. In the summer of 2018 I started posting on this channel as I set off on a trip around Asia before studying a semester in Taiwan. During this time my love for travel grew and I tried to travel to new places during my weekends off from university. Throughout uni I made travel a priority and worked multiple side jobs to fund my travels. After doing my thesis in Hong Kong I graduated in June 2019. At this point I decided to take a gap year and go traveling. My goal was to visit as many countries as possible. I soon realized that travel is what I love and wan´t to keep on doing. I now dream of visiting every country in the world.

A TRIP OF A LIFETIME - Dragoon Forest and city life on Socotra

A trip of a lifetime, that is what this trip to Socotra has been. In last and final video from Socotra I bring you along for our last days on the island. We drove inland and headed up in the mountains, where we visited the dragoon forest, went swimming in a wadi and had our lunch under a dragoon blood tree. We watched the sunrise and went in to Hadibo, which is the capital city of Socotra. There we got a glimpse of every day life on the island. The last night was spent at Di Hamri which was where we also spent our first night on the trip. The next day it was time to head back to the airport and fly back to Abu Dhabi. When we arrived we said goodbye to our group and parted our separate ways. This truly was an amazing trip and it was all thanks to the trip organizer Welcome to Socotra and the group of wonderful people who I spent the week with. I will cherish this trip in my heart forever.
