RARE AND HEAVY SNOW COVERS SINAI PENINSULA, EGYPT

JANUARY 14, 2020 CAP ALLON


A substantial layer of snow has coated many of the mountainous regions of Egypt’s Sinai peninsula, in what republicworld.com has reported as “one of the area’s rare winter snowfalls.”

The flakes began falling on Friday, January 10 and continued through much of the weekend.

Snow in the region usually only sticks around for 24 hours or less, before temperatures return to their expected levels and quickly melt all evidence of the rare white crystals — this accumulation, on the other hand, has lingered for 4 days now as temps have struggled to climb above the freezing mark.

A video highlighting the extent of the snow was captured by tour operator Ragab Eid:
