My very long search on Socotra island was rewarded by the best decision i could have ever made, to book a tour with socotra-travel-tours , which is run by locals...I found this company by chance and booked without much hesitations due to their easily accessibility and responsiveness.I landed into the paradise of the spectacular landscapes of Socotra in the beginning of March 2020 and spent one week on the island. Everything was very smooth and well-organized. As i was a solo female traveller, i joined a group which had already booked with this company. I was able to hike in magnifiscent canyons, explore caves, swim in the crystal-clear waters of the Indian Ocean and the Arabic sea, and taste incredible seafood..Our drivers, who also took care of our every day handmade lunch and dinner, were highly responsible and seemed genuinely delighted to serve us...Our guide was detailed oriented and shared his extensive knowledge on the flora and the culture of the island with us.I feel as every minute there was magical...I highly encourage anyone who wants to explore the beauties of Socotra with a professional team to request a tour with them

I don't take superlatives lightly, so when I say this was the most incredible beach I've seen, it must be a special place. The beach is a long sand bar of fine white sand and a bunch of adorable crabs. This sandbar reaches over a lagoon where you can watch seawater spill into at high tide. There's loads of curious creatures in this mini ecosystem. The Sea water is crystal clear in shades of blue and turquoise. These is a rock overlook that should be climbed for the most sweeping view over it all. In October, the water temperature was so easy to swim and float in. There is no coral or seaweed here so it's also easy to walk right in with bare feet. An added bonus of this special place is that we were the only people there! There is no shade on the sandbar so load up on water and sunscreen before you head out as it's a bit of a walk to access vehicles and gear again.

Mystical, romantic and endlessly enchanting, Sana'a is one of the greatest treasures of Arabia. It is also one of the world's oldest cities, and its rich history reveals itself throughout the narrow streets lined with centuries-old buildings. Unlike many great Arab cities, Sana'a has resisted modernization and retained its historic charm. You won't find any gleaming towers of steel and glass in the city, but you will see the stone and fired-clay buildings change hues from peachy-pink to deep rose as the sun moves across the sky. The Old City is the heart of Sana'a and a UNESCO World Heritage site. The entire district is a work of art, and wandering without aim is the best way to enjoy it. The area is so well-preserved that you can walk more than a kilometer in any direction without coming across a single new building. There are thousands of tower houses in old Sana'a, designed to bring residents as close to heaven as possible. Known as the world's first skyscrapers, the houses often reach six to eight stories and follow a set design: The Souq al-Milh lies at the center of the Old City and is one of the best markets in all of Arabia. There, visitors can shop for anything from mobile phones to handwoven carpets and everything in between. Silver jewelry gleams in the sunlight, the air is thick with the scent of jasmine, stalls overflow with piles of dates and colorful scarves wave in the breeze. Walking through the labyrinth of vendors is like traveling back to a bygone era. Surrounded by topsy-turvy whitewashed houses and dreamy mosques, the whole market feels like a fantasy brought to life. The National Museum is not just one of the largest museums in the region, it is also one of the best. The breathtaking collection of figurines, statues and artifacts from the Saba and Hadramawt kingdoms greets visitors on the first floor while the second is dedicated to the medieval Islamic period. The well-curated galleries present an incredible range of history while providing an outstanding introduction to the country's history, culture and people. In addition, you can visit the Museum of Traditional Arts and Crafts. Regarding its climate: there is very little rain in Sanaa as it is considered a mild desert climate. The temperatures are normally pleasant with the winters being warm and the summer comfortably hot.
