Sabkhat Matti

Dry lake between Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates

Sabkhat Matti is a dry lake on the border between Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.[1] "Sabka" means "salt flat" in Arabic. In the 1930s, Bedouins told western surveyors that the salt flats were named after someone named "Matti", who had disappeared while trying to cross them.
