Diksam Plateau

The Firmihin forest, located east of the Dirhur canyon within the plateau, has the highest concentration of Dragon's Blood Trees on the entire island.

[1] The Diksam Plateau is an extensive area located near the geographic center of Socotra between the Hajhir Mountains and the southern coastal plain.

Situated about 700 m above sea level, the plateau is home to herdsmen, named Bedouin,[2] who move from one site to another with their herds.

They live in a high number of tiny villages scattered across the plateau, reflecting extensive pastoralism, on which their inhabitants are dependent.

[4] The largest and most extensive population of Dragon's Blood Trees of Socotra is shaping the landscape character of Rokeb di Firmihin in the east of the plateau.
