Ahmed Omar
Hi, I'm Ahmed Omar, born and raised on the beautiful island of Socotra, Yemen. After finishing school, I followed my passion and co-founded Socotra Ecotours in 2014 to share the wonders of ecotourism with visitors. I've worked on international projects like Socotra Governance & Biodiversity, and I'm part of a nonprofit called Socotra Friends that offers educational seminars on biodiversity. I can chat in Socotri, Arabic, English, and French, and I've had the pleasure of guiding tourists and filmmakers from all around the globe. I love my work and always bring a sense of humor to the journey!

Hello! I'm Salem, a freelance guide from the enchanting island of Socotra in the Arabian Sea. After finishing my basic education on the island, I pursued further studies abroad. I love being a storyteller, writer, and public speaker. With deep knowledge of Socotra's unique flora and fauna, I've guided not only tourists but also scientists for research projects. I can't wait to share the island's wonders with you through my stories and expertise!
Sami Mohammed
Hey there! I'm Sami Mohammed, a proud native of Socotra island. I'm a founding member of Socotra Ecotours, a sustainable ecotourism venture since 2014. I recently returned home after earning my postgraduate degree in environmental science from the University of Mendel in the Czech Republic. I'm super friendly and always up for a chat about anything from ecology to politics with our guests. As one of the few guides here with an ecological background, I've explored every nook of Socotra and can't wait to share our island's magic with visitors like you!
