Al Wathba Salt Lake Abu Dhabi

Al Wathba Salt Lake (Sabkha) is in the Al Bihouth Region of Abu Dhabi, near Al Wathba South. This lake is man-made. The salt comes from the salt flats called 'Sabkha' which are a by-product of the arid coastal climate of the area. Generally, this feature will take years to develop naturally. The only possible explanation for the mysterious existence of this feature is that artificially fed water somehow cuts its way through the already-existing salt and mineral deposits underneath the surface of the sand, creating these beautiful crystalline salt pads. #dubailife #alwathba #saltlake #placestovisit #abudhabi #uae #emirates
