Comment “LIST” & I’ll send you a list with the top 13 places you *must* see on your Socotra trip! 🇾🇪 And SAVE this post for tips on how to avoid the crowds at these iconic sites 😉

Featured here are:
• Kalysan Canyon (Go as early as possible, right after sunrise, so you can have the place to yourself & avoid the heat. We spent hours here without anyone else around & it was a highlight of our trip!)
• Firmihin Forest (This iconic dragon’s blood forest is HUGE, and prettiest for AM or PM golden hour… get off the main tracks to explore some of the quieter routes through the forest away from the crowds)
• Wadi Dirhur (We stopped here twice — once midday when it was packed with locals & tourist swimming, bathing, eating, napping 😴… and once midday when it was empty because it wasn’t officially part of the itinerary. Honestly, it was a vibe both times!)
• Qalansiyah (Probably one of the most beautiful beaches I’ve ever seen! There are a couple sunset viewpoints nearby OR ditch the viewpoints and just enjoy the relatively empty sandbar at sundown)
• Ahrer Beach (It’s an absolutely MUST to climb these sand dunes for sunrise! There were several other tourists up there with us, but everyone left right before or right after the sun came up. We waited them out & had the dunes entirely to ourselves!)
• Shoab Beach (Most people will come here in the morning for breakfast and leave when the sun gets hot. We stayed a bit longer and the beach cleared out… also be sure to spend extra time enjoying the boat ride to Shoab beach alongside the dolphins!)

📍Socotra Island, Yemen 🇾🇪
