In the wetland areas there are halophytic plants that have adapted to the salty substrate where chlorides and sulphates have concentrated.
In these areas the growth is sparse.

In the permanent lakes there is abundant aquatic vegetation supported by the fertile mud on the floor of the lakes, attracting large numbers of waders.
There is also vegetation rooted in the lake beds with leaves and flowers floating on or emergent from the surface.
Typical plants around the lake are Salicornia, Juncaceae, glasswort (Arthrocnemum macrostachyum) and Phragmites species.

Halophytic rushes grow in the boggy areas.
Also important are the sedges and sow thistles which reproduce easily in areas that are less salty.
 There are also saw-toothed sedge and bull rushes.
Nearby in the salty meadows are plantains and grama grass, and a range of aromatic herbs such as rosemary, thyme and mint.

The most common tree, particularly in the more saline areas, is the tamarisk or salt cedar.
It forms little thickets around the edge of the lakes, and has a long taproot that is able to reach the water table and thus resist the summer drought.
Other trees that thrive in the area are the evergreen or holly oak, poplar species, almond, Acacia species and pines.
