"Walking in the Lake" Top 5 Page for this destination Chott El Jerid Things to Do Tip by barryg23

As we moved on further more water appeared though this was not so spectacular as the reddish colours we had seen earlier. It was slightly clearer and the colours were blue and white predominately. There were a couple of cafes at the spots where the amounts of water were relatively larger. We didn't stop at any though we did pull over later on to see how the blue/white water looked up close.

We decided to go wading in the lake. It felt very fresh though it was obviously very salty because as soon as you left the water salt marks were everywhere on our legs and hands. You can't get more natural than that! At some points the ground was very soft which left much and dirt into the water - this was the only disturbance we could see in the whole pool of water so clearly no one had been here for a good while before us. I found a steadier spot at the second lake and was able to wander a good distance into the water. It felt very refreshing.
