Lake Duma Jandel
An artificial lake about 2.90 km in length, created in the early 1980s east of the valley, now serves as a reservoir for the crops. A vast, highly saline plain, certainly the bed of an ancient lake, stretches away beyond the artificial lake in the east of the valley bottom.
This is a perfect place to bring the family for a BBQ. I was driven here by a Saudi who happen to know the area. I have traveled past it a few times and never noticed. This is a fresh water lake. Naturally beautiful that sits in the middle of the desert. A hidden treasure of Saudi Arabia. Perfect for Picnics and BBQs. And apperently even more beautiful at night that during the day. We met some friendly locals there. Who didn’t know much English but was happy to give us a brief history of the lake and the town. Bring your walking shoes as if you want that picture of a life time, you’ll have to climb for it. However it’s totally worth it. A place of unbelievable beauty.
