Lake Chott el Jerid is a great salt lake located in the Tunisian part of the Sahara desert. It’s known to be the largest salt lake in the Sahara, it’s also the largest salt lake on the African continent. With a surface area of more than 74 square km (2,700 square miles), Chott el Djerid is over 1.5 times larger than the Great Salt Lake of Utah. (if you want to read more about this lake here)
I made a tour around Tunesia a few years ago and I was very impressed by this lake. I had seen the Salt Lake in Utah, but here it seemed to never end. With the sun shining on the salt, it looked like diamonds.
miles and miles in the Sahara with little salt hills
Strange, nobody had an emergency !

The green toilets brighten up the place as Salt and Sand are not a very cheerful sight.
