Socotra Island - Episode 4: Hamid, der Eremit von Shoab Beach
Socotra, Jemen, gilt als eine der abgelegensten Inseln der Welt. Und der Fischerort Qalansiyah markiert das äußerste Ende der befestigten Pisten. Will man dann den Traumstrand von Shoab Beach erreichen gibt es nur die Möglichkeit der Weiterfahrt per Boot.
Antreffen kann man dort nur eine einzige Person, den Fischer und Ziegenhirten Hamid, der seit 50 Jahren als Eremit in seiner selbst errichteten steinzeitlichen Siedlung lebt.

Qalansiyah Beach in Socotra Island, Yemen
Sometimes you need an escape. And I’m not talking about Las Vegas for the weekend or a few days camping in the mountains — I mean a real escape. The kind of escape where your phone won’t work and the people speak a different language, where the rest of the world can be forgotten while you relax on soft sandy beaches, wander island canyons, and sleep under the shade of ancient Dr. Seuss-like trees.
Socotra Island is your place. A small archipelago 150 miles east of the Horn of Africa, Socotra is full of amazing beaches and impressive landscapes that's technically part of Yemen. For an outdoor enthusiast or adventurous soul this place has all of the makings of an ideal escape: camping, hiking, swimming, and exploring to your heart's content. Few tourists know and take advantage of this exceptionally gorgeous retreat so it is relatively uncrowded throughout the year.
There are tons of beaches on Socotra Island, so anyone who likes to swim in the blue brine of the sea and squish their toes in warm sand will be perfectly happy here. Qalansiyah Beach is one of the most popular for those looking to relax, tan, and splash around. But there is also Shoab, Ghost Crab, Arher, Delisha and Aomak Beaches scattered around the coastal circumference. Finding beaches here is no difficult task - in fact, it is usually harder to narrow down which beach you want to go to.
Surrounded by jagged limestone mountains, Qalansiyah Beach offers white sand and turquoise water. You can choose to hike here or arrive by a short boat ride. Enjoy a dip in the clear water or don a snorkeling mask to notice an array of tropical fish swimming just below the surface.

I Lost My Heart to Socotra Island | YEMEN 2019 | Trailer
Wow, I still can't believe it. My dream came true. I got to visit the mysterious Socotra Island in Yemen: it's a prehistoric landscape, filled with numerous endemic species of trees and animals you can only find here and nowhere else on Earth.
Because of its remoteness, and then because of the conflict in Yemen, Socotra has been off-limits to the vast majority of tourists. But I made it ????
Thank you, Welcome to Socotra, for being my perfect hosts and guides to this unforgettable island.

The exclusive characteristic of Socotra Island is to home of some of weirdest looking plants that are found nowhere else on planet earth. The largest member of the archipelago also called Socotra.

It is very isolated, and has a harsh, hot, and dry climate, used to be part of Africa six million years ago. The trees are out of Land of the Lost and the feeling you have is like nowhere else.

Sand-boarding - Socotra Island

Dragon Blood - A Photographer's Journey to Socotra, Yemen
DRAGON BLOOD - A photographer's journey to Socotra, Yemen.
Some 240 kilometers (150 mi) east of the coast of Somalia and 380 kilometers (240 mi) south of Yemen lies the island of Socotra. Socotra’s 34-million-year separation from mainland Arabia has given rise to a unique flora – 37% of its plant species, 700 species, are found nowhere else. It has been described as “the most alien-looking place on Earth” and “the jewel of the Arabian Sea”. In 2008 Socotra was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
One of the most striking of Socotra’s plants is the dragon blood tree (Dracaena cinnabari), which is a strange-looking, umbrella-shaped tree. Its red sap was thought to be the dragon’s blood of the ancients.
Yemen has been unstable for decades. Civil wars, a revolution, Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, starvation. The current civil war started in 2015 and has cost the lives of over 20,000 civilians. In 2018, the United Nations warned that 13 million Yemeni civilians face starvation in what it says could become “the worst famine in the world in 100 years”.
As a result, it has been impossible to visit the island for many years - no planes or even boats would go there (I tried). Until suddenly I saw an opportunity and I took it. It turned out to be one of the most intense projects I have ever done.
The dragon blood tree (Dracaena cinnabari) is named after its crimson red resin. Its unusual shape is an adaptation for survival in arid conditions with low amounts of soil, such as in mountaintops. The large, packed crown provides shade and reduces evaporation. This shade also aids in the survival of seedlings growing beneath the adult tree, explaining why the trees tend to grow closer together like in this image.
The future of this species is uncertain, which is why it is classified as Threatened by the IUCN. The most significant problem is climate change: Socotra is drying out, with once-reliable monsoon weather becoming patchy and irregular. But as always, people are mostly to blame. Locals drill holes in the trees to extract the resin, which they use for medicine, makeup, paint, etc. The holes then allow insects to penetrate the trunk and further weaken the tree from inside. Socotra has violent storms, and these damaged trees get blown over.
Another threat is livestock. Most locals have goats. The goats love the young dragon blood seedlings. With more and more goats on the island, most of the dragon blood seedlings get eaten - there are no new generations of dragon blood trees as a result. This means that if the goat problem is not dealt with, the current trees will eventually all die of old age and there will be no young trees. Already, their age structure generally indicates over-maturity and predictions are that many areas with dragon blood trees will reach the stage of intensive disintegration within 30–77 years with 95% probability. The maximum age of a dragon blood tree is around 700 years, and many of the larger trees have already reached that age.
Socotra has been a World Heritage Site since 2008, which has led to high levels of environmental protection, but the challenge will be to convince the local population to keep their goats out of protected areas.
