The government of the Republic of Yemen and the Kuwait Fund of Arabic economic development have signed an agreement on provision of Yemen with a loan in support of the Socotra’s new port construction project for value of 11,8 million Kuwaiti dinar (about 41 million USA dollars).

The north-western part of Socotra is planned for construction of a new sea port. The field research works are about to be completed.

Socotra was a refuge for pirates for centuries.

Though Socotra’s climate is rather equable, it is also characterized by seasonal variability, which is recommended to be taken into account when planning a trip to the island.

The desert Cape Di Hamri was one of the first Socotra’s places used for encamping.
