Socotra Island (Indian Ocean)

The island is located in the territory of Yemen is a remote island inhabited by about 40,000 people. Socotra's name itself is derived from Sanskrit which means "Island of Happiness". Many trees and plants on the island is included in the category of endemic flora, which means it will never be found anywhere else in the world except on the island of Socotra. There are even some varieties that have been predicted to reach 20 million years old.

Some of the reasons the island of Socotra, so do not be a tourist destination although the landscape is very interesting:
Socotra Island is an island that has a tropical climate of the desert. The heat can reach 40 degrees Celsius.
Because the island of Socotra is a protected island sustainability there is almost no roads built. The only roads that are there, recently built about 2 years ago. It was a tough agreement between the Government of Yemen and UNESCO.
In order not to many tourists who come to the island of Socotra and the naturalness of the island of Socotra in order to remain awake so do not expect to find a hotel or a resort there.
Finally, perhaps the island of Socotra is not the right destination and comfortable. After all much better if the island is not very much touched by humans, who have destroyed their natural habitat even later. we simply admire the oddity of this island through the pictures. Give thanks to the Almighty ... :)
