Dayet Srij Lake

A seasonal lake at the edge of the Erg Chebbi that forms after winter rains — sometimes for weeks, sometimes for months, sometimes not at all. When it forms, flamingos arrive from their breeding grounds further north. The contrast of pink flamingos against orange sand dunes is one of the most extraordinary natural spectacles in Morocco, and one that cannot be planned for.
