Socotra once again!

Loved Socotra so much that I brought a group here. There were seven of us and it was an amazing trip once again!


Took the Felix Airlines - Dubai to Socotra.


Yes, we're sleeping in tents in Aomak Beach......all arranged by Abdullah!


Kosta says "Leave Nothing".....so the chicken curry has been all polished off!


Once again Qalansiyah...and we are taking the boat.



We did see the dolphins!


The old man's beach.


The next day we head to Wadi Druher. It's a short trek through the canyon with water flowing.....a lovely place. At the end of it there is a beautiful natural pool where one can cool off if it's too hot. The area is home to many "Dessert Roses" and that time of the year it was all in full bloom and so looked really beautiful. Having lunch under the shade.....life is beautiful!





"3 Dessert Roses"!


Lunch being served!





Waiting, while the guys change the flat tire.


Debra in the cave





Kosta snorkeling!




Delishah Eco Lodge



A stream running near the Deilisha Beach

Last day before we are dropped to the airport we take in the sights and sounds of the capital Hadibo.


Gas station.....need to fuel up!


Sight of Yemeni women......very rare! Had to take a photo.


 That's a car still in use!


Drive a donkey!



Sinisa trying to converse with the locals!



A protest march in the market!



The group along with our Yemeni hosts.


And as we were waiting to board the flight back to Dubai.....Sinisa got this postcard and had all of us signed....."Socotra always".
