Qalansiyah, a romantic fishing village

 Qalansiyah, a romantic looking Arabic small fishing village tucked into some palm trees and beautiful beach. Here you can sail in a local hand made wooden craft. Stay overnight in a camp on the beach or with a local fisherman family the are around Qalansiya, has fantastic clear blue seas, gorgeous valleys full of palm trees and beautiful unique birds. Since the people of this area are mostly fishermen one can get really fresh fish and have it cooked as the locals do. We bought a bunch cooked them all up and invited the local families to join us we had a wonderful time. One old fisherman told us all a story that most go back 2000 years.

The coastal people are fishermen, mostly African origin. They live in African style houses mud with leave and branches as the roof as I understand most of the African were brought to Socotra as slaves and labor for as far back as recorded time.
