Tebez (Kazakh: Тебез) is a salt lake in Shalkar District, Aktobe Region, Kazakhstan.[1]
The lake lies about 7 kilometers (4.3 mi) to the west of Taldykum village. The area near the lakeshore is used as a grazing ground for local cattle. In the spring the lake water is usually suitable for the cattle to drink.[2]
