Adventure Travel On Socotra

Adventure On Socotra, Yemen

Part of our adventure on the island of Socotra, off the coast of Yemen, involved circumnavigating the island in our land cruisers. At this point we had driven up the sand dunes as far as we could, then bailed out and began hiking over the dunes. Just beyond the dunes are the warm waters of the Red sea.

The people are friendly, though the accomodatons can be a bit basic. Our accomodations ranged from hotels to thatched huts to tents. Food was basic but good: Fresh fish, Nan, and a few meager vegetables.
