Big Tunisian Salt Lake. - Chott El Jerid

Chott El Jerid is a huge salt lake located near Tozeur with a surface area of 7,000 square kilometres. This lake is dry most of the year, so the best season to visit it is the winter season, when the rain creates beautiful mirror effects. The surface of the Chott is composed of Myriad salt crystals. An elevated causeway has been built across. South of Chott el Djerid, the Grand Erg Oriental desert begins.
