Lake Assal, the salt lake, producing the high quality salt, Djibouti

Located about 2-3 hours drive from Djibouti City. But, we had to pass two rivers, really passing through the river with our 4WD car! We visited on return way from Lake Abbe to Djibouti City.

The salt from this lake has been exploited since thousand years and its exploitation is controlled by government now.
