The Diksam Plateau and its rugged terrain is home to the dragon blood trees and other unique plants of Socotra Island. To reach its densest woodlands requires an extended hike through canyons and steep slopes.

Diksam Plateau and gorge is definitely the most spectacular limestone landscape feature on the island. The gorge drops 700 m (2295 ft) vertically to the valley floor. We will walk along the edge of the gorge to see attractive stands of Dragon's Blood Trees and the extensive limestone pavement. Sections of the plateau have partially slipped into the gorge, leaving 'lost worlds' accessible only to buzzards and vultures. The plateau is home to nomadic Bedouin herdsmen who move from one site to another with their herds.The forest in Diksam is the last Dragon's Blood woodland. Nowhere else in the world can one find Dragon's Blood Trees in such densities as growing here. The guides will show us how they used to collect - and still collect on a smaller scale -the precious red resin of the trees.
After filling our cameras with as many pictures of the Dragon’s Blood Trees as we can. If you feel fit to hike down and back to wadi Dirhur Canyon. You can refresh yourselves by swimming in the wadi's deep pool, escaping the midday heat.
