Quality holidays on Socotra with SOCOTRA TAMAM

Socotra is one of the rare pearls of the Earth.

The archipelago has long been isolated from the rest of the world, but there is a tourist boom in Socotra now, constrained only by a shortage of air tickets. Civilization and mass tourism are already coming with all the ensuing problems.

We do not play dumping and still offer good service for organized groups and individuals. We make custom programs on any topic and we have new places and routes for those who are going to Socotra again. We provide special terms to agencies and tour leaders.

There is a big difference between visiting and seeing Socotra island.
SOCOTRA TAMAM are working on the second.
