9Diksam Plateau

The Diksam Plateau is the best place to see Socotra’s iconic Dragon blood trees. The trees are endemic to the island and only grow above 800 meters altitude.

Pictured above is the Fermahin Forest, the highest concentration of dragon blood trees on Socotra. We have lunch one day under the trees at this site on our Socotra tours. You can also buy frankincense and dragon blood tree powder from the local kids.
