Di origini arabe è stata per secoli fonte di guadagno e sussistenza per le popolazioni che vivevano nei pressi del mare. Oggi l'intera zona, popolata da ampi pantani popolati da molte specie faunistiche, è stata trasformata in riserva e lasci ai suoi numerosi turisti un respiro della vita dei pescatori.
