Landlocked and occupying a depressive zone of an average depth of 26 m, it is surrounded by limestone reliefs, covered with a forest predominantly of cedars and oaks. Its location in the mid-atlasic cedar - the cedar tree of Ajdir Izayane - gives it a very distinctive blue-green color.

The bioclimate of its region is of subhumid to humid type; Average precipitation is estimated at 1,150 mm per year. The waters of this lake are rich in fish of different species, tench, carp, roach, perch or pike. The latter, which is highly appreciated for the quality of its flesh, tends to disappear, due to the degradation of the biotope by man (abusive fishing and pollution). Many of these fish species are allochthonous: they were introduced by the French water and forestry services at the beginning of the twentieth century.

Due to the lack of rainfall during the 1980s, the lake experienced an alarming drop in its level. Its location in the midst of Ajdir Izayane led the authorities to make the lake and its region an eco-tourist site. This lake was classified as a national heritage, following the decree of 29 July 1949.
