Dogub Cave is located on the southern shore, behind the Noget dunes. This cave can be easily reached by car. Due to water’s presence, the cave is the habitat of many different animals, especially bats and swifts.
Dogub cave was in an area called Nogid, and it was dry, red, and inhospitable. At the time of my visit, Nogid had recently received an asphalt road. Socotra’s only highway connected it with the rest of the island. Huge rocky hills bordered the arid plains of Nogid, and a beautiful blue ocean lay on its other side.
