1. Chott el Djerid
Area: 2,703 mi²
Basin countries: Tunisia
This lake is located in southern Tunisia, and this is the largest landlocked body of water that we can call a “salt lake” and get away with it. It covers a surface area of over 2,700 square miles. However, then there is the Caspian Sea which does fit the description of a salt lake but covers a surface area of 143,244 mi². Anyway, for obvious reasons we could not nominate the Caspian sea as the world’s largest salt lake thus Chott el Djerid will have to suffice.
