Socotra is more directly linked with Africa than Arabia makes it a sole island of Hybrid Flavor, its separation from Africa is supposed to have occurred approx. six million years ago, in consequence, lots of animals and plants that live today on the island are widespread varieties. 
This island finds itself at a union of eras and culture due to its strategic location and valuable incense and operate all through centuries has seen the influence of lots of African communities and European nations as well as Greek, Portuguese and British. The native Socotrans are simple, type, and friendly to visiting visitors.
As the people help make Socotra a haven in a hostile world, the island is also a natural wonderland. From the aqua sea at Qalansiya to the snow-white dunes at Ras Momi, from the alpine meadows of the Haggier Mountains to the misery of Nowgad, Socotra is a soil of amazing contrasts. Rising to over 1700 meters, the Haggier Mountains appear over Hadibo, Socotra’s administrative capital. The red stone of the peaks have been stained a ghostly gray by the lichens, that grow densely above tree line.
Socotra is home to over 900 varieties of plants, some 305 of which are endemic to the island, and there are surely lots of more plant varieties that have yet to be exposed. As an example, Dr. Tony Miller of the Royal Botanical Garden in Edinburgh lately collected the primary recognized specimens of a tiny carnivorous plant, that grows on damp tree trunks in the higher reaches of the Haggier Mountains.
One among the most well-known Botanical curiosities of Socotra is the Dragon’s tree, the tree is so named because one injuries to the bark results in a deep red fluid excreting from the scar – compared up to now to the “Blood of Dragons”.
If I have a good travel,I will go to the Socotra Island to see the different nature and flora.But now the Somali pirates are too furious.It is very dangerous at there!
