Desert lakes

Saudi’s desertscapes feature more than just incredible sand dunes. In fact, the contrast between the red dunes and what’s around them can be equally breathtaking. Desert lakes, though rare, boast lush vegetation surrounded by boundless stretches of desert sand. Some lakes form after heavy rains in the winter, while others attract migratory birds. Venture to one of these two lakes during winter in Saudi for some sights you won't want to miss.
