The picturesque 'pink lakes' of Oman

Muscat: Pink lakes are the most popular tourist destinations in the Wilayat of Al Jazer.

The pink lakes in the Wilayat of Al Jazer are considered one of the most popular tourist destinations in the Wilayat, due to their pink colour, which makes them a tourist attraction for visitors from far and near.

They are 10 kilometres from the centre of the Wilayat to the east, there are two more lakes in the Wilayat of Al Jazer. The first is at the end of the paved road, and the other, which new visitors may not know, is 1 km north of the Wilayat, where the same stretch leads to a mud road.

Both the lakes are affected by the tide and fill up during the ebb tide process. Many tourists have visited them in recent years, camping on the soft sands and enjoying the scenic beauty.
