They were pearls in the dunes, and while not as black as Jack's famous ships, they did come in a variety of shades—including crystal clear blue, green, and even pink. Here are some of the coolest desert lakes in the UAE.
Expo Lake
This is the biggest event the UAE has ever witnessed, so Expo 2020 Dubai will inevitably have its own desert lake. A hallmark of Expo 2020, this meticulously crafted oasis is a monumental feat of engineering and helps underscore organizers' desire to make a lasting impression of the Expo. The best way to get there is to follow the D63 route, take the last exit, and turn right on the road leading to Al Qudra Lakes.
Lake of Love
Two connected hearts, flowing with water, cut through the orange sand. There's definitely something poignant about this photogenic location in Al Qudra. Perfect place for romantic strolls (and insta snapshots). To find it, follow Al Qudra Road and past Meraas' Last Exit Al Qudra.
Moon Lake
Discovered earlier this year when Ramadan was announced in the UAE, Moon Lake got its name because of its crescent shape. At the corner of Al Qudra's more mature Lake of Love, Arabian Oryx frequents the waters for refreshing drinks. You can find it at the coordinates 24.7874218,55.3065662.
Pink Lake
This must be a very important time for the students who discovered the Pink Lake in Ras Al Khaimah in January. The H20's Ruddy Stretch has unparalleled vibrancy and is an absolute must for all Fans of Mother Nature's whimsy. The pink waters are just off the coast of the Salaya Islands and stretch for 10 m x 40 m, so there is plenty of room for a large number of tourists.
Plant Lake
The latest members of the list can be found on the edge of Al Jubail Island, opposite Khor Laffan in Abu Dhabi. Named after its stem-like shape, it passes through the earth, and the lake water shimmers emerald green, probably caused by algal blooms. You'll need a drone to get a good bird's-eye view, but we think it's well worth it.
salt lake
The unique rock formations make this area of natural beauty a real hotspot for Insta enthusiasts, but it's really worth noting. Located off the Al Ain highway and close to Al Bihouth, Al Wathba Long Salt Lake is characterized by sturdy mushroom-like columns and delicate salt flakes that give the illusion of a magical snowy land. You can find it at the coordinates. 24.1589，54.5025。
