Salt extraction on the lake Karum. The salt is loaded on camels (100-120 kg) and then transported on the Ethiopian highlands to be sold.

After visiting Dallol, it was necessary to cross again the lake in the opposite direction. But this time, in the middle of the lake, our vehicle stopped and didn’t want to restart. The 2nd vehicle pulled us to the village of Ahmed Ela. Without its help, we had to go back to the village by walk with a terrible heat.
