Salt lakes

Salt lakes, located in central Tunisia, lie south of the Atlas Mountains, at the northern end of the Sahara desert.

Description:

The salt lakes in Tunisia are the largest of their kind in the world. Their area exceeds 7000 square meters.

Almost all year round, with rare exceptions, there is no water in the lakes and then before tourists there is a mysterious, to some extent unearthly beauty created by salt crystals. Since the lakes are located in the northern part of the Sahara desert, there is a strong dry wind constantly blowing here, so when going here, you should take care of protection from the sand.

The local population near the lakes earns by selling to tourists salt roses created by nature itself with the help of the wind.
