• Socotra Island (sovereignty of Yemen) is located
  in Indian Ocean, 250 kilometers off the African
  shore. Eipheba Sakhotora in ancient Arabic
  means Island of joy. It is one of the most
  picturesque and unique corner of the world. And
  it played very important role in the course of
  Arabian history. The Island itself is 120 km in
  length and 40 km in width, populated by 40.000
  inhabitants. Culturally, Socotra Island is bound
  to African, rather than Arabic traditions. Coasts
  of Island are inhabited by fishermen of African
  origin, riversides by Arabian nomads, and in
  the mountains one can still meet ancestors of
  ancient Socotra tribe. Socotra Island remains
  aside of the main tourism routs. And that is why
  it kept authentic appeal and remain unspoiled,
  since the very first explorer did step on its
  shore some 2000 years ago. Nowadays, the Island
  attracts mostly those, who seek to explore its
  unique flora and fauna. More than 200 species of
  plants and animals are found nowhere else in the
  world, but only in a Socotra Island. The Island
  landscape is very miscellaneous, astonishing with
  high contrasts. Socotra littoral water world is
  unique with its abundance. Divers can observe
  species subsistent in archipelagos of Oceania,
  Red Sea and Southern Indian Ocean. Even scuba
  isnt necessary - morays, skates or giant
  groupers can be seen with bear eyes. To make it
  short, The Socotra Island is like an asylum in
  the routine of our civilized world.
