‘This is a forgotten island’: The remote Yemeni territory that hopes to become an ecotourism hotspot Arjun Neil Alim © Provided by The Independent From landing on a beach airstrip to the bumpy drive to a remote village, a 360m-climb in the blazing sun, and then the eerie blackness of a stalactite-filled cave with millennia-old etchings, our group’s overwhelming feeling to be on Socotra was one of privilege. The Hoq Cave yawned open, with its pitch-black interior stretching 3km deep into the summit of the mountain we had just climbed. Inside was evidence of what makes our destination so special: cave writing and painting in ancient languages from regions as diverse as India and southern Africa. This island has been visited by the oldest of civilisations, yet today it is considered one of the most off-road destinations there is.
