The Pools of Killisan
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 Firmihin Forest, is on most itineraries. Wadi Killisan is harder to reach, but is hugely rewarding.
This spectacular place belongs geographically more to the south but can also be accessed via the Momi plateau and – for those with strong legs and plenty of time – from Homhil, so is included here.
It is one of Socotra’s hidden wonders and you need to be a good hiker to get there, but all reports are that it’s absolutely worth it for the series of turquoise pools of water, fed by small waterfalls, set in smooth, white limestone.
