The sprawling 4km wide and 250m deep, Al-Wa'a Crater, one of Saudi Arabia's most amazing natural wonders, is a vast crater at the heart of a mysterious lake. You will witness the real magic when you climb into the heart of this volcanic crater, and also the splendor of the landscape from above. In the center of the gap, you'll find white sodium phosphate crystals that create a shimmering crust visible from the sky. This salt carpet turns into a pearly lake when rain gathers in its hollow, surrounded by shrubs and palms that spread on its edge. The dry lava field can also be seen creeping away from the northern edge of the crater. The hole was thought to have been formed by a meteorite impact, but research by geologists in the 1960s revealed that the wattle was a crater. These shallow cavities are the result of volcanic eruptions that occur when groundwater comes into contact with hot lava.
