This turquoise lake measures 50 m by 70 m and is about 20 m deep, situated approximately 600 m from the sea between the coastal towns of Ḑibāb and Bimmah. It was formed when the surface layer collapsed due to the dissolution of the limestone beneath. Locals attribute its creation to a meteorite, known as ‘Hawaiyat Najm’, meaning ‘The Falling Star’ in Arabic, which inspired its name. To protect the sinkhole, the local community established Hawiyat Najm Park around it, complete with a stairway leading down to the water.
