Take you to Socotra Island, Yemen, for a 7-day trip on the third day

【Gondwana Continent】 【Jurassic World】 The Socotra Archipelago in Yemen has a special place, which is the Gondwana Continent. This ancient land separated from its mother body due to crustal movement 18 million years ago, and has been isolated overseas since then. Long-term geographical isolation has formed a closed ecosystem in the Gondwana Continent, allowing many unique animals and plants to evolve and survive here. Therefore, it is known as a precious 'Noah's Ark', and is also called the 'Galapagos of the Indian Ocean'. Today we finished the journey on the west coast and started exploring the south coast. We crossed the Dixson Plateau, the hometown of the Dragon Blood Tree. When we arrived in the south, we found that there were magnificent cliffs like the west, but what was different was that there were many naturally formed caves in these cliffs. I have been thinking about whether it is possible to enter these caves for exploration, and I didn't expect the first destination today to be the Digum Cave. Among this series of caves, Digum Cave is the most representative. These caves were used as dwellings by the local Yemenis in the past, and some larger caves were even used for grazing sheep. Another unique feature of the Digum Cave is that there is a small cave inside it, which is pitch black and inhabited by some bats. Exploring the small cave of Digum really requires some courage. Then, we drove to the second scenic spot-Omak Beach. Compared with the Arabian Sea in the west, the Indian Ocean in the south is more violent. The coastline here is more wild, reminding me of the coastline of South Africa. On the coast, we set up camping tents, rested, had lunch, and had time for a nap. Because the sun was too strong, we postponed the departure time a little bit and went to Zahk-our camp today, which is the most beautiful camping site in the whole journey. It is located in the white sand dune area between the southern beach and the lagoon, and is the best place here. When the car slowly approached the Zahk White Sand Dunes, my friends from the Eight-Nation Alliance all exclaimed in admiration. This endless white sand dune is really fascinating. After we settled down, around four o'clock in the afternoon, it was the best time to watch the sunset. The sun was not as strong as before, and the light was getting better and better. Rolan once again became the first person to set off, and I quietly followed him. It takes about half an hour to walk from the camp to the beach. Rolan and I saw many dried skeletons of puffer fish on the beach, as well as many fish and turtle bones. Only a few pieces of mud are left, like shed skin, cracked open, and rolled into small pieces. On the way back, we sat on a sand dune waiting for the sunset, and ended the day's journey happily.
