Sebkha Sidi El Hani, Wetland conservation site in Sousse Governorate, Tunisia.
The salt lake covers 36,000 hectares and consists of three depressions: Sidi El Hani, Souassi, and Dkhila, forming a substantial wetland ecosystem.
The salt lake received international recognition on February 2, 2012, when it was officially designated as a protected Ramsar wetland site.
Local communities near the salt lake maintain traditional practices of salt harvesting and fishing, which shape their daily activities and economic patterns.
Visitors can observe numerous bird species throughout the year, with peak viewing opportunities during spring and autumn migration periods.
The wetland supports specialized halophytic plants and Artemia salina crustaceans that thrive in extreme saline conditions not found in regular ecosystems.
