Adopt a dragon!
Amur Teibe took a part of the dragon tree nursery under protection, creating a strong fence and assuring the survey.
Now you can adopt your own baby-dragon tree in Socotra!
A customized plate with your name and date of adoption will be fixed close to your tree.
The adoption fee is used to maintain the initiative and create new conservation areas.
On the remote island of Socotra, the iconic Dragon’s Blood Tree (Dracaena cinnabari) stands as a symbol of resilience and mystery.
Now Magical Dragon Trees of Socotra need our support.
Before becoming an adult tree, they spend many years being vulnerable as goats love to eat their tender leaves. The goats are a very important part of life for local people, they walk around everywhere, so the renewal is possible only in protected areas.
Baby dragon trees develop a single stem.
Around the age of 20-25 years, they begin to branch out.
At this moment it is high enough to escape from goats attacks.
Only once in 10 years happen each new phase of growth.
This means that every decade, the tree will undergo another round of branching, where each previous branch splits into two new ones.
Imagine how many centuries are needed to create the distinctive umbrella-like canopy.
By the time they reach their “adulthood” at 100 years, they stand tall and proud for centuries.
Some trees live up to 1.000 years, showcasing nature’s patience and power.

🌊🌿 A true adventure off the beaten path! Boat excursion to remoted Shuab beach - is must do in Socotra.
Shuab beach is 1 hour boat ride away from the fisherman village and the second size urbanization in Socotra - Qualansia.
First we arrive to the sea shore, local kids adore to meet foreigners and try to communicate as they can.
Boys swim around in small self made boats with a curious shape. It is their big fun.
Elders and fisherman survey what is going on.
When our traditional fisherman wooden boats are ready, we get in.
People push the boat, and here we are in the ocean, adventure starts.
On the way we may see the dolphins and even whale shark, thought it happens rarely.
Sea can be rough and wavy or flat like a like. Nature keeps its right to decide.
We do photoshoot right in the boat. And take pictures of our friends, waving each other from far.
The road lies among the rocky shore, offering a spectacular show of shapes and colors : water, skies, rocks and mountains.
Cormorants and seagulls observe our boat from the air, water and stones.
Wind in the face is fresh and salty.
The journey across turquoise waters led us to a secluded beach, untouched and breathtakingly beautiful.
Who’s ready for an escape like this? 🌅✨

You know, that singing cave exists ?!
Hoq Cave is a key highlight of Socotra, adding to the island’s reputation as a unique destination with diverse natural and historical treasures.
Hoq Cave
is one of the island’s most significant natural landmarks and a geological marvel. It is a limestone cave, renowned for its immense size, striking stalactites and stalagmites, and calcite crystals. These formations have developed over thousands of years and create a surreal underground landscape.
The cave is about 3 kilometers long, but visitors can explore about 1.5 kilometers into the cave without specialized equipment.
As you venture deeper, you encounter various chambers, underground pools, and expansive corridors.
Hoq cave remains cool and humid, making it a refreshing escape from the island’s warm climate. Though the trekking to the cave takes 1-2 hours, depends on your shape.
Archaeologists have discovered ancient inscriptions on the cave’s walls, dating back to the 3rd century BCE. These inscriptions, written in different languages like Indian Brahmi script, ancient Greek, and South Arabian, indicate that Hoq Cave was used as a religious or ritual site in ancient times by sailors and traders who passed through Socotra.

Have you ever tried to milk the goat?
Did you succeed?
The introduction of goats to Socotra Island is believed to have occurred centuries ago, most likely by early human inhabitants or traders. Socotra, located in the Arabian Sea near the Horn of Africa, has been inhabited for thousands of years by various groups, including Arab, Persian, and South Asian seafarers.
These people likely brought goats for their utility as a source of meat, milk, and hide.
Goats can survive in difficult environments, so it is valuable resource on an isolated island like Socotra, which has limited agricultural options due to its arid climate.
The exact historical details are unclear, but it is widely accepted that goats were introduced as part of the island’s domesticated animals by early settlers or traders navigating this key stop along ancient maritime trade routes.

Listen to the disappearing Soqotri language.
It has only oral form.
It is a member of the Modern South Arabian languages, a subgroup of the South Semitic branch of the Semitic family. These languages are distinct from the more widely known Arabic and Hebrew.
The Modern South Arabian languages, which include Soqotri, Mehri, Shehri, Harsusi, Bathari, and Hobyot, are believed to have developed in the southern Arabian Peninsula long before the spread of Arabic with the rise of Islam in the 7th century CE.
The history of the Soqotri language is a testament to the resilience of a linguistic tradition that has endured through centuries of change and isolation.
In our days language faces challenges in the modern world, mostly elders use it, kids speak Soqotri only at home, so they lose it little by little.

There is a special way for each occasion.
When you meet an elder man, or your relative, or a friend from another area - it will be a different greeting.
