Asfar Lake (Yellow Lake)
A beautiful lake with blue water surrounded by the desert. The magnificent beauty of the lake and its surroundings attracts tourists.
It's better to come in a high clearance car or 4x4 SUV, as sometimes, due to the sand dunes, it can be hard to drive. But it is worth the drive. You will enjoy the site, the view, and the new experience. Have a look at interesting dune formations and the shoreline.
It is also a nice place to have a picnic, so you can bring your food and relax on the shore of the lake. Locals come here for incredible sandboarding.
In winter, the lake serves as a migration site for birds, including squacco herons and little grebes.
