ANSWER: Both
Lake Assal is a saline lake which lies below sea level making it the lowest point on land in Africa and the third-lowest land depression on Earth after the Dead Sea and Sea of Galilee. Because of no outflow from the lake and due to high evaporation it is the most saline in the world after Don Juan Pond.
