Homhil Protected Area

Homhil Protected Area

The Homhil Protected Area is rich in frankincense trees and other endemic wildlife. The area has Dragon's Blood trees, blooming bottle trees, sharp limestone ledges and cliffs, a canyon with rushing spring water, spectacular views, exotic desert flora, and so much more. There is a natural pool at the end of the hike along the stream, at the very end of the rocky plateau. The steep cliff face plunges more than a thousand feet down to the lowlands and the ocean. The whole territory, and the emerald green pool in particular, is a stunning natural site, adorned with a unique Socotran flora, with bottle trees and Dragon's Blood trees growing on the rocky and spiny limestone cliffs.
