Sebkhet de Sidi El Hani

Salt lake in Sousse Governorate, Tunisia

The Sebkha Sidi El Hani (سبخة سيدي الهاني) is a salt lake in the Sousse Governorate of Tunisia, 25 kilometres (16 mi) southwest of the city of Sousse and 25 kilometres (16 mi) southeast of the city of Kairouan. It covers an area of 36,000 hectares and consists of three depressions: the Sidi El Hani sebkha stricto sensu, the Sebkha Souassi and the Sekha Dkhila. Fueled by several wadis, such as the Wadi Chrita, the Wadi Mansoura and the Wadi Oum El Mellah, it retains water all year round only occasionally. The catchment area is 360 square kilometres (140 sq mi) and the system empties into the Mediterranean Sea.
