Wadi Dirhur
Also known as the Diksam Gorge, this place seems as though a giant has pulled a huge slab of soft limestone apart like a hunk of cheese, and then poured cool, clear water down the crack specifically for the delight of visitors.
Mostly visitors will be looking down at the canyon, all 700m of it, and using its drama as a backdrop to their photos, but a dirt road crosses it at one point and this gives access to some gorgeous crab-filled paddling and swimming pools.
Don’t miss the chance to swim in the deep pools that collect in Socotra’s wadis (ravines). Wadi Dirhur, which divides Diksam plateau and Firmihim Forest, is on most itineraries. Wadi Killisan is harder to reach, but is hugely rewarding.
