Lake Chott El Jerid - not a lake in the conventional sense. Its surface is covered with a thick crust of salt that can support a car. But in some places under the crust hides marshy swill frivolous dangerous for motorists. However, in the well-studied places on the smooth surface of the salt marshes are held here high-speed races on cars, cars. Record - 900 km / h.

Across the lake there is a road to Tozeur. Fantastic picture opens on both sides of the highway, which runs through the infinite space of glittering salt. On the invisible horizon line sky merges with the earth because of what seems an enormous ellipsoidal motion through a tunnel, illuminated by dim light, passing from the ash-gray to bluish bottom at the top. The visibility here can drop to 50 - 60 meters.

Kebili is often called the country of Fata Morgana. When the temperature rises above 30 degrees on the surface of the lake are beginning to appear mirages. However, air must be always sufficiently clear. Small grains of sand raised by the wind, may prevent the occurrence of this amazing spectacle.
