Al-Kasr Lake is located in al-Zulfi Governorate, one of the governorates within Riyadh Province in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

The lake stretches amidst the sands of al-Nufud Desert, approximately 250 km from Riyadh City. It forms when rainfall accumulates on the sands of the al-Kasr area, creating a stunning landscape where the peaks of dunes resemble small islands within a vast sea. Viewed from above, the lake appears like an ocean merging sand and water.

Al-Kasr Lake is a popular tourist destination in al-Zulfi Governorate, and its surrounding area serves as an important venue for the events of al-Zulfi Winter Festival.
