Darsah (Arabic: درسة) is an uninhabited island in the Guardafui Channel. It is part of the Socotra Archipelago of Yemen. Darsah and neighboring Samhah (17 km (11 mi) to the west) are collectively known as "Al Akhawain" (Arabic: الأخوين) which means "The Brothers".

Important Bird Area

The island has been recognised as an Important Bird Area (IBA) by BirdLife International because it supports breeding colonies of red-billed tropicbirds and brown boobies.[1]
