This scenery in Africa doesn't match the skin color of the local people.

📍Socotra Island, Yemen The name comes from Sanskrit and means "Island of Bliss". There are many peculiar species on the island, some of which have a history of 20 million years and are completely unavailable on the Eurasian continent. The most impressive is the dragon blood tree that looks like a UFO. Due to the peculiarities of the species, it is known as "the most alien-like place in the world." ✍Visa: Apply for Yemen visa 🌡Climate: Tropical desert climate, relatively hot 📆Suitable time: October to May of the following year 🏕Accommodation: Hotel or camping 📸Attractions Recommendations ✅Dragon Blood Forest It is the original destination of The Legend of Zelda. The tree has a dense umbrella-shaped crown and a huge trunk. It grows slowly and can live for thousands of years. The island is sparsely populated, so the dense dragon blood trees and forests are able to continue to reproduce, giving the place the appearance of an alien planet; ✅The top of the bottled Desert Rose tree trunk is covered with rose-red flowers, adding a touch of bright color to the yellow-brown land. It will be a wonderful experience to look at the silent starry sky beside the bright desert roses. ✅Araher Sand Hill The white sand dunes are hundreds of meters high, with fine and soft sand like a white sand sea. If you are lucky, you can also see a group of whales jumping out of the water when you climb to the top of the sand dunes. ✅Detwah Lagoon has the most beautiful coastline on the island, with a tail-like beach and azure blue water. You can also climb to the edge of the cliff to watch the sunrise and sunset. It feels like you are at the end of the world, and the photos are great. Socotra Island is a dream destination for camping and hiking enthusiasts. The pristine island is full of natural wildness. There are huge varieties of corals and fish on the seabed, which is also suitable for diving enthusiasts.
