As of now, the are only two ways you can get to Socotra Island. The first one is by flying with Yemen Airways (Yemenia) from either Seiyun, Yemen, or from Cairo, Egypt – with a layover in Seiyun. They only run the flight once a week every Wednesday, departing from Cairo at 3:30 am, arriving at Seiyun at 8:00 am.
Is it safe to travel to Socotra?
Travel to Socotra is indeed safe, and as long as you follow standard precautions and travel to the island on the weekly flight from Cairo, you should not run into any problems. If you're thinking about going, I'd encourage you to do so before the island changes or the route in is closed off again.
How much does it cost to go to Socotra Island?
As of March 2021, the current price for an economy class roundtrip ticket from Cairo to Socotra is typically around $1,300 USD.
