Although there is a turmoil in the Yemeni mainland (due to a 10-year long civil war), daily life in the island of Socotra seems to be quite peacefoul...
Few tourists are coming to the island, looking, perhaps, for scenes such as these depicted in David Robert's paintings. They would discover some relics of WWII era T34/85 Soviet tanks too, reminiscent of an agitaded past...
PS. Below, D. Robert's work "Island of Graia" (Red Sea/Gulf of Akabah), 19th century.
