Socotra is a jewel of an island in the Arabian Sea, located between Yemen and Somalia. Politically, the island belongs to Yemen. Due to its isolation, it is home to a multitude of endemic animals and plants. Socotra is often referred to as the “Galapagos of Arabia.” In 2008, the archipelago was designated a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site.

The island is also home to the Dragon Blood Tree. With its perfectly shaped, umbrella-like crowns, it is visible from afar and dominates the appearance of the central highlands. The tree\u2019s scaly bark does indeed somewhat resemble a dragon. Its name, however, comes from the blood-red resin, which is said to have medicinal properties.<\/p>\n

In addition to the Arabic culture, it is primarily the island’s immense natural diversity that attracts photographers. The range of photographic subjects is vast and includes white sandy beaches, coastal dunes, the central plateau, and rugged mountain ranges with gigantic ravines.<\/p>\n

Join me on a journey through time and dive into a strange, fascinating world. All of this is packed into one grand adventure.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
