See the ancient dragon blood trees at Diksam. Walk among the huge trees, dating back thousands of years, and learn about this species of plant, which starts as a little shrub and grows for centuries. It gets its name after the sap that resembles blood, and makes a favorite for bonsais. Consider bringing a picnic to enjoy underneath the broad canopy. Put Diksam on your schedule, and learn what else deserves a visit by using our Socotra Island tour planning website.

If you want to enjoy a sea of Dragon blood trees this is the place to go. It is amazingly beautiful both at sunrise and sunset, but also during the day.

Sunset on Diksam Plateau Diksam Plateau is in the center of Socotra at a significant elevation between 2000-3000 feet. Here, you get the highest concentration of the iconic dragon blood trees that are the most recognized symbol of the island (in fact, it’s featured on the Yemeni coins). There are hundreds and maybe thousands of dragon blood trees here and the best time to witness this is during the sunset with silhouettes of the umbrella-like trees set against the red sun or glowing in the orange sunset glow. © Copyright - travel2unlimited

One of the most beautiful places I ever have been. The climate is truly amazing. All green with beautiful dragon blood trees everywhere.. Temperature is really truly amazing and cool. Calm and quiet area. Best holiday hideout. But unfortunately the place is not accessible for public. Got an opportunity to visit this place as a part of my job.
