Abu Dhabi International Airport

Your ultimate guide to visiting Socotra Island, the UNESCO World Heritage Site off the coast of Yemen, coined ‘the most alien place on earth’ 👽 This guide includes recommendations on everything from how to get there, what to pack (and what to wear!), the best things to see and do and even which travel insurance to get. I have also included a list of tour companies and agencies you can book with, including the company I went with and why I chose them. The information in this guide is from a trip that took place in March 2023.

The UAE is becoming the main transit hub between Europe and East. This is such a perfect opportunity to explore here! I have lived in Dubai for two years and found the beauty of this place (despite the hell of summer) in its people and diverse culture. People from hundreds of nationalities are jointly living in this country bringing their cultures, their food, their stories. All this joined together with typical Arab hospitality culture. Look beyond touristic attractions (that are in this guide, because they are pretty cool). Enjoy the food, enjoy the people. Oh, ENJOY NATURE! There are pretty amazing hikes. Some of them are very dangerous. I provide in the guide the contact of my favourite guide and friend. I hope you will enjoy!
