Sebkhat El Ghorra

Sebkhat el Ghorra is a salt depression in eastern Tunisia, inland from the Mediterranean coast between Mahdia and Sfax. Rainwater gathers in the shallow basin and evaporates in the dry season, leaving saline flats. Such sebkhas are a characteristic feature of the Tunisian coastal and interior plains, where enclosed basins collect runoff from the surrounding land and change their appearance with the seasons.
