Erissel (Arabic: أرسل, romanized: Irsal; alt.

Irsal)[1] is a fishing village on the main island of Socotra, Yemen.

[2] Erissel lies next to Ras Irissel or Rhiy di-Irīsal,[1] the easternmost point of Socotra, where the Indian Ocean meets the Arabian Sea.

On the narrow spur of the cape, the bedrock of the island outcrops as amphibolitic rocks.

[3] The cape is a place where ships have been colliding with rocks for centuries.
