About the tour

We’ll begin with mysterious, little‑explored Socotra — an otherworldly island where dragon’s blood trees and desert cliffs create alien landscapes.

Next, we set a course across the crystal‑clear waters of the Gulf of Aden, with chances to spot dolphins and rare seabirds.

The route concludes in Djibouti, a nation at the crossroads of Africa and Arabia. Here you can take a dip in the salty Lake Assal, one of the most unique places on the planet, and connect with East African culture.
