Wadi and canyons

Wadis and Canyons of Socotra

Dafarher

From the southern coast, you can head inland through the Dafarher Wadi. It’s a pleasant place to rest and swim in a palm-filled oasis. If you have time, take a walk or drive through the entire valley, lined with villages, and see many bottle trees and frankincense trees growing from the rocky slopes.

Kalesan, Derhur, and Ayhaft

Socotra is home to many stunning wadis lined with palms and refreshing pools, including Wadi Kalesan, Derhur, and Ayhaft. Most of them can be explored on foot during a trek or simply enjoyed as picnic spots with an afternoon swim in natural pools.
