Matmata Lake

Matmata Lake, a rare desert water body, provides a striking contrast to Mauritania’s arid surroundings. It is a serene spot for relaxation, birdwatching, and photography. The lake’s reflection of the desert sky and surrounding dunes creates magical scenery at sunrise and sunset. Visitors can enjoy picnics, nature walks, and eco-tourism activities, making Matmata Lake an unexpected oasis in the heart of the Sahara.
