Marco Polo and Socotra. Part 2 : History, Dragons and Frankincense

The Historical Context:
Socotra, an isolated island in the Arabian Sea, had long fascinated travelers and traders.
It was a critical stop for ancient sea routes, connecting India, the Arabian Peninsula, and Africa.
By the time Marco Polo visited the East, Socotra had already garnered a reputation for its strange and unique environment.
Its landscape, dotted with peculiar plant species like the dragon’s blood tree, made it seem almost otherworldly to outsiders.
Additionally, Socotra was known for its residents maritime skills, valuable natural resources such as aloe, frankincense, and the mystical practices associated with its people.

Socotra’s Mysterious Plants :
Marco Polo would have been captivated by Socotra’s unique flora and fauna, which he might have seen or heard about during his journey.
The dragon’s blood tree, native to Socotra, produces a deep red sap once believed to have magical and healing properties.
This sap was valuable in both trade and traditional medicine, used as a dye, medicine, and even an alchemical ingredient.

Frankincense, a precious resin derived from trees in the Boswellia family, has been highly valued for centuries for its aromatic qualities and medicinal properties.
In Socotra, 7 types of frankincense trees thrive on the island’s rugged terrain, producing resin that has been traded since ancient times.
During the era of Marco Polo, frankincense was a coveted commodity, exchanged across vast trade routes connecting the Arabian Peninsula, Asia, and beyond. Merchants transported it alongside spices and silk, and it held a prized role in religious ceremonies, perfumes, and traditional healing practices.

Marco Polo and Socotra. Part 1 : Christians and Magic.

Marco Polo, the Venetian merchant and explorer, famously traveled through Asia in the 13th century, recounting his experiences in his book “The Travels of Marco Polo.”
In his detailed descriptions of distant lands, Marco Polo briefly mentions the island of Socotra, adding to the island’s already mysterious reputation.

One of the most captivating details in Marco Polo’s description is his claim that the islanders practiced a form of magic. According to his account, they could control the winds, an ability they used to protect themselves and influence trade. Polo was told that these magicians would summon winds to sink ships of those who sought to harm them or challenge their control of the sea. Although Marco Polo was skeptical of such claims, he faithfully recorded them as part of his broader fascination with the exotic beliefs and customs he encountered.

In his writings, Marco Polo offers a brief yet intriguing description of Socotra. He states that the island was inhabited by Christians, specifically Nestorian Christians, a sect that had spread along trade routes deep into the East. Polo noted the island’s religious significance and the fact that the islanders were skilled sailors, frequently setting sail for the mainland and nearby territories.

“Khotra” is a traditional headscarf worn by men on the island of Socotra, known for its unique biodiversity, culture, language and traditions. Khotra is a significant part of the island’s cultural identity.

It is more than just a headscarf—it’s a blend of utility, tradition, and cultural pride for the people of Socotra, playing an essential role in daily life and ceremonial contexts alike.

Khotra is typically made from cotton or a cotton blend, making it lightweight and suitable for the island’s hot and dry climate. It often features simple, but colorful patterns or stripes, and is usually worn in bright colors.
The patterns and colors may vary depending on the region and social status of the wearer.

Khotra protects against the sun, dust, and wind. In addition to its functional role, it is also a symbol of tradition and cultural identity, worn by men during everyday activities and special occasions.

Some men feel uncomfortable, as if they were missing a part of outfit, in case they don’t wear something on their head.

Though Khotra is supposed to be only for men, all our guests like to try to wear it, even ladies.

The Khotra is wrapped around the head in various ways, depending on preference and occasion. It can be worn loosely or tightly wrapped, with parts of the scarf often draped over the shoulders or neck for additional protection from the elements.

🌿 Socotra Chameleon: Nature at its Finest 🦎 🌿

On the mysterious island of Socotra lives one of the most unique creatures — the Socotra Chameleon (Chamaeleo monachus). This small master of camouflage not only blends perfectly into its surroundings but also symbolizes the island’s incredible biodiversity. 🌍

🧐 Curious fact - local kids are not scared of chameleons, they keep them as pets on the trees in their natural habitat and bring on the sticks to show tourists when they pass by the village in exchange of couple of dollars.
But! The adults like 30-40 years old are very scared, they believe chameleon can come and pick your eye with its tongue. On the 2 photo you can see how Ahmed is aware, no trust to chameleon even after long explanations that the eyes will stay on their place 👀 😕

😅It is very funny to observe how adult drivers are running away from their cars in escape mode if you approach with a chameleon. 🤣

Chameleons inhabit the dry forests and shrublands of Socotra, using their amazing ability to change color for communication, protection, and adaptation. Their flexible tail, strong limbs, and independently moving eyes help them skillfully navigate among the branches. 🌿

Being a protected species due to its uniqueness and limited habitat, the Socotra Chameleon is a true natural treasure of the island! 💚

SOCOTRA IS WILD BUT IT WILL NOT LAST LONG

When you come to Socotra, you feel first in a very isolated place. Thought the island is not so far. Just 2 hours away from Abu Dhabi by plane.

Then when you start your road trip with us, in some places you feel yourself in an inhabited island lost in the ocean, in other places - you travel back in time.

Lagoons, long isolated beaches, white sand dunes and desert, mountains, canyons, incredible plants and unique dragon tree forest.

All those treasures look so wild. But civilization is coming with huge steps.. in some years Socotra will change drastically, like Maldives did.

The treasure that is not changing- is Socotri people. So kind, so happy with little and ready to give you the least they have if you just respect them.

Now it is your turn to discover Socotra!

TRAVEL WITH SENSE

My name is Axinia. I am the creator of Amur Teibe and I would like to share with you my experience.

When I came first time to this island, I felt as if I belong here.
I was overwhelmed with beauty, uniqueness and wildness.
I understood that Socotra will take a big place in my heart and life.
I traveled a lot, had amazing adventures, saw many cultures and countries.
But Socotra is really outstanding, you can’t compare it to any other place in the world; it became my love and passion.
So I wanted to create something special here.
Everything I do in this place - i do my best.
I want to make Socotra and world better and people - happier.

My partner Ahmed and I have created Amur Teibe Socotra, licensed agency, in 2022.
High quality of service and perfection in every little detail is in our ADN 🧬. With this approach we always make happy our guests.

For us the main principe is - to give and to share. Like this we make Socotri happy.

You can just visit a certain place, or you can travel with a sense.
While traveling with us, every guest participates in charity actions, as we buy and distribute food packages in remote villages, finance for the necessities and purchase water recipients for the families in need.
In every location we pass over the island, we leave a nice print in people’s hearts.
