Masazir Salt/Pink Lake

At this lake, salt is harvested at the end of summer. But before you come here, keep in mind that the lake turns pink only during the hottest period of summer — from June to September. By late summer it may dry up and turn white. Here you can see the salt extraction process, and you can also walk in the water (but be careful: if you have any cuts on your feet, the high salt concentration can cause a stinging sensation)

The lake is usually fenced off, but in some places you can find an entry point. You can also find tours to the Salt Lake online
