There are about 21 islands around the peninsulas of Aden, Aden Lesser, and Ras Amran. They are mostly rocky islands, some of which are surrounded by incomplete coral reefs, and most of them are considered [[fishing]] areas. A number of islands have many activities, especially on Al-Ummal Island and Sirah Island.

=== Wild and domestic animal diversity ===
Yemen is considered one of the countries rich in bird species in the Middle East due to the availability of many suitable coastal environments that helped attract many migratory birds to wetland sites, coasts and islands. The Aden region (Khor Maksar - Al-Haswah) was registered on the list of important areas of the World Bird Organization as a habitat. The last three species that are globally threatened with extinction are: the great eagle, the gull eagle, and the eastern king eagle.<ref name="محافظة عدن - البيئة2">{{cite web |access-date=2015-03-05 |archive-date=12 November 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161112151458/http://adengovernorate.com/pages/5/ |title=محافظة عدن - البيئة |url=http://adengovernorate.com/pages/5/}}<!-- auto-translated from Arabic by Module:CS1 translator --></ref>
