Umm El-Ma'a Oasis Lake ! - a photo on Flickriver

             Explored ( Jan 5, 2010 #375 ) 

Um El-Ma'a Oasis Lake ( Arabic: بحيرة أم الماء ) ( English: The Mother of Water Lake ) is an oasis with a large lake located in the municipality  Wadi Al-Haya ( Awbari ) in the Libyan Sahara .....

As Andrei'f  said, One of the things that always crossed my mind is how the sand dunes stand so high without collapsing, and covers the lake.
Local people have told me that the sand dune is the same since a long time and Never affected in any of the weather condition !
