UAE sends 4 thousand tourists, most of them Israelis, to Socotra

SOCOTRA, Oct. 19 (YPA) – UAE is prepared to send about 4,000 foreign tourists, most of them from Israeli tourists, to Socotra Island of Yemen, according to sources familiar with the matter.

The sources affirmed that the total number of reservations during the next two months with a tourism agency in Abu Dhabi exceeded 4,000 tourists of different nationalities.

The sources added that Emirati tourism agencies transport the Israeli enemy’s visitors to Socotra on Emirati visas, away from the Saudi-backed exiled Hadi government.

This comes after the UAE brought about 150 foreign workers from Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Egypt and Uganda, and distributed them to a number of Emirati military sites in the province.

The UAE forces have raised the flags of their country in the Yemeni official institutions, in addition to the military and security points located on the island of Socotra.
