Lac Assal, also known as Lake Assal, is a stunning crater lake in Tadjourah with a unique salt-encrusted shoreline. It is the third saltiest body of water in the world, even saltier than the Dead Sea. The area is surrounded by dormant volcanoes and lava fields, and the local community harvests salt from the lake. The breathtaking views of the turquoise blue lake against the white salt crusts are a must-see. Rocks of all sizes in and around the lake are covered in a thick layer of salt. Before leaving, don’t forget to purchase one-of-a-kind souvenirs such as salt crystals, salt-covered rocks, and other trinkets that can only be found at Lac Assal.
