Middle East Hats
Description: Socotra Island, located in the Indian Ocean off the coast of Yemen, is part of a small archipelago and is known for its unique biodiversity. Due to its geographic isolation, around a third of its plant species are found nowhere else in the world, including the iconic “dragon’s blood” tree, which has a distinctive umbrella shape and produces a red resin. The island is also inhabited by a number of endemic fauna species, such as birds and reptiles. Socotra has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2008 due to its exceptional ecological value.
