On our expedition to the Danakil, we spent a night at Lake Afrera and joined some of the workers in the salines in the early morning. Their friendliness struck me,- I think the company of tourists was a welcome change from the daily routine.

Lake Assale hosts the Afars' richness - salt. For century, salt has been exported on caravans from here to all of Ethiopia and beyond. The procedure has little changed until today. On oour expedition, we had the opportunity to witnes the complete cycle.
