Day by day
Day 1
Jeddah · gathering day
We meet in Jeddah on the day your Socotra journey ends. Sunset on the waterfront by the floating mosque and the fountain, then an early night before heading north.
Stay Jeddah
Days 2–3
The Red Sea · Six Senses
North to the Red Sea development and into Six Senses. Dunes run right down to the water; the days can be spent on the sea, in it, or doing nothing at all. Deliberately slow—a landing after Socotra.
Stay Two nights
Days 4–5
Shebara · overwater villas
On to Shebara, where mirrored steel discs sit over the lagoon and the rooms stand above the water. Two days shaped by the sea: light on the water at either end of the day, stars overhead at night.
Stay Two nights
Day 6
Desert Rock
Inland, towards AlUla, and into Desert Rock—a resort set into the cliff face, barely showing anything but the side that opens onto the canyon. Sunset between the rock walls.
Stay Desert Rock
Day 7
Banyan Tree AlUla · Hegra
The last night at Banyan Tree AlUla. By day, the Nabataean tombs of Hegra and the mirrored Maraya hall; in the evening, the oasis and Elephant Rock.
Stay Banyan Tree AlUla
Day 8
Departure
Transfer to AlUla airport for the journey home—or onward to another journey.

- Visas: The mainland requires a separate Yemeni entry visa; a Socotra permit alone is not valid for travel on the mainland.
- Separate tickets: All mainland flights are issued as separate, non-through tickets. If an inbound flight is delayed, we will do everything possible to assist, but cannot assume responsibility for missed onward flights or associated losses.
- Local flexibility: Local conditions may require changes to road access, accommodation or site openings at short notice. Every movement is arranged by our experienced, licensed local team.
- Tailored routing: Senior guides may adjust the order of visits and sites according to season, weather and live camp conditions to deliver the best possible experience.
