"This view looks kind of like it was taken straight out of a tourist brochure for visiting Africa. It seemed a bit too much to be true and apparently it is. This is not a traditional local village but a large esoteric construction project carried out by some Saudi oil sheik. Nobody really knew if it was completed and whether it will be an expensive luxury resort or just for the sheik and his mates to have fun in. The location for a tourist resort at the beach of Lake Beseka near Metahara is a bit strange since you cannot swim in the lake due to Schistosomiasis."

That caption for the Lake Beseka picture is inaccurate... the writer/photographer is confusing the lake's characteristics with other lakes elsewhere in the Eth. rift valley (which largely have that issue with the exception of Langano)...

Lake Beseka is saline and as such can't be used for agriculture or fishing, nor can it be used for domestic consumption without expensive treatment... and since it does not support freshwater snails wouldn't have schistosomiasis problems...

About the only thing the lake is useful for (besides washing your car on its shores) ... is to swim in it.
