While it is quite different from the rest of Yemen and is administrated differently, it is still part of Yemen and, as such, uses the Yemeni Rial as its currency. There are no ATMs on Socotra so travellers should bring hard currency with them, preferably Euros or Dollars, to change for some rials. If you come on one of our tours, however, you won’t need much, as our tours to Socotra include all meals, drinks and accommodation.
