Dukhan Sabkha, located in the northern section of the Dukhan region in western Qatar, is the largest inland sabkha (salt-flat) ecosystem found in the Persian Gulf. The sabkha runs for approximately 20 km, occupies an area of 73 km2, has a width of 2 to 4 km and a depth of between 6 and 7 meters below sea level.[2] Consequently, the sabkha holds the distinction of accommodating the lowest point of Qatar. It is situated roughly 10 km east of the city of Dukhan and 2 km from Dukhan Highway.[3] The Dukhan Field is to its immediate west.[4]
