Socotra is an island which is part of Yemen.
Socotra - or Soqotra (Arabic سُقُطْرَى ; Suquṭra) is a small archipelago of four islands and islets in the Indian Ocean off the coast of the Horn of Africa some 190 nautical miles (220 mi; 350 km) south of the Arabian peninsula. It is so isolated that a third of its plant life is found nowhere else on the planet.
It has been described as the most alien-looking place on Earth.
