But the mainland countryside - not. 2. New visa procedure just introduced: you send passport copy to Yemeni travel agent. He applies for your visa to the ministry. After few days you are getting the copy of the visa via e-mail 3. Reliable and recommended agency in Socotra: Socotra Eco-Tours - find them on internet. They will prepare your stay on Socotra. One week is enough to see all places on the island (working hard). Be ready to pay 80-90 USD pp per day full board and transport 4. Visit on your own of Socotra is VERY hard since the lack od transport - better forget it! 5. Read more in my travellog and jump here: http://www.kontynenty.net/Socotra1.htm to see more pictures... Happy travel to Yemen and lovely Socotra! Wojtek --- You can lose everything, but nobody will take away what you saw and what you experienced... W.D. Reply    Reply with quote    Contact wojtekd
