For the first time in over 100 years, several inches of snow have fallen in Cairo and the Sinai desert in Egypt, forcing the closure of ports on the Red Sea coast. In an area averaging less than an inch of rain each year, such snowfall is a very rare phenomenon.
Severe storm "Alexa" is responsible for the unusual weather; she blew in from Turkey last Wednesday to drape the West Bank and Israel under a blanket of white, causing total chaos and prompting Israeli authorities to lift the Jewish Sabbath ban on public in order to cope with the crisis.
