Yes, a visa is required, and it is included in all package quotations. We provide full assistance in securing a Yemeni
tourist visa. All visas are issued through official channels in partnership with local authorities. The visa process may take a month for those entering the mainland, so early booking is encouraged.

Socotra is reached via chartered or scheduled flights from Cairo, Egypt (via Aden)  or direct from Abu Dhabi, UAE. Yemen’s mainland is accessible via Aden with flights from Djibouti, Cairo, Egypt and Amman, Jordan. We assist with flight bookings and provide detailed arrival instructions.

Our packages include airport transfers, accommodations (camping or hotel), three meals per day, local guides, all entry
fees, camping equipment (if applicable), and internal ground transportation. Optional add-ons such as diving, bird-watching tours, or cultural workshops are available.

Most activities are moderate in difficulty—swimming, short hikes, or dune climbs. You can choose less physically demanding options or build a more active custom itinerary if preferred.

The best time for Socotra is October to April. For mainland destinations like Aden, winter months (November–February) are ideal for cooler temperatures and clear skies.

Yes, solo travelers are welcome. You can join a group trip or request a private guide. Many of our solo travelers have had great experiences in Yemen.

We carry basic first aid kits and work with local health providers for non-emergencies. For serious issues, evacuation to Cairo or Abu Dhabi may be required. Travel insurance is mandatory.

Internet is available in Hadiboh and in major cities in Yemeni hotels. Outside these areas, particularly in much of Socotra’s
wilderness, there is no reliable Wi-Fi or phone signal. If traveling through the Emirates, you can pick up an Etisalat sim card which will provide data for communication on apps such as WhatsApp and Signal (connectivity may be limited). For more stable internet access, a Starlink unit can be arranged for an additional fee.

Once you select or build your itinerary, we send a deposit invoice and begin the visa process. Full payment is due two weeks before departure.

We offer flexible rescheduling and partial refunds depending on how close to departure you cancel. All policies are
outlined in your booking agreement.

Modest dress is encouraged (covered shoulders and knees). On Socotra it is requested for women to cover their hair in Hadiboh and any villages we visit to respect our hosts. In Aden or other mainland locations that are more
traditional, a scarf or an Abaya (An abaya is a long, loose cloak worn by women for modesty in many Arab cultures) for certain settings may be helpful for greater access.

Every trip helps support local guides, cooks, drivers, artisans, and conservation efforts. A portion of proceeds also goes to humanitarian work through our partners in the mainland.
