Toshka Lakes is a group of recently formed endorheic lakes in the Sahara Desert of Egypt. They began to emerge in late 1998 as excess water from Lake Nasser overflowed, filling a nearby limestone valley. The rise and fall of the lakes over the past two decades has depended on fluctuations in the flow of the Nile River — in 2012 they had almost dried up, but began to fill once again by 2019.
