'Chott' is the word used in Tunisia for lakes. But this lake is a dry salt lake in the summer, although before and after the hot summer there is still some water left in this lake. The trip is highly recommended as it's very interesting to see. Especially when the sun shines on the salty surface and the heat reflects an illusion of water. Here you can also find little stands where people sell the desert roses and quartz stones. You can even find these quartz stones along the lake.
