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. Due to the water in the river we had to cross had abundantly increased for the rain, I failed to catch up my flight...
The salt from this lake has been exploited since thousand years and its exploitation is controlled by government now.

Lake Abbe, a place on earth like Mars, Djibouti











Lake Abbe is located near to Ethiopian border and can be reached from Djibouti City about 4-5 hours by car (4WD). It is famous for the shooting location of film "Planet of Apes". It is a beautiful and unearthly.
