Hadibu (Arabic: حديبو), formerly known as Tamrida, is the capital and largest town of the Socotra Special Administrative Region of Yemen. It is the seat of the SAR government headed by the Administrator, and is a major hub for tourism.
Socotra Airport is located about 12 kilometres west of Hadibu, and close to the third-largest town in the archipelago, Qād̨ub. The S6 highway runs along the north shore from Qalansiya in the west to Hadibu and then to the Dihamri area in the east, while the S18 highway runs from the northern to the southern coast of Socotra, through the Dixsam Plateau.
The ancient former capital of Socotra, Suq, is located a few kilometers from Hadibu. In 1507, a Portuguese fleet commanded by Tristão da Cunha and Afonso de Albuquerque landed at Suq and captured the port from the Mahra people after a stiff battle. The architect Tomás Fernandes started to build a fortress at Suq, the Forte de São Miguel de Socotorá , however, in 1511 the Portuguese abandoned the island and the Mahra Sultans regained control of Suq.
