6. Socotra Island, Yemen

How would you like to explore terrain that is reminiscent of some alien world? If so, then, by all means, you should visit Socotra Island. Situated not far off the coast of Yemen this particular place has been called by some “the most alien-looking” spot on the planet.
Others have referred to it as a “lost world.” These comments are due in part to the fact that the high temperatures and not uncommon drought conditions of the entire isle have actually led to the creation of roughly 800 rare species of fauna and flora. As this goes to press, approximately one-third of those species have yet to be found anywhere else on Earth.
