Although snow falls in December-January in most parts of the world, snow has never been heard of in the desert areas of Africa and the Middle East. But this year there was snowfall in the desert areas of Africa and the Middle East.

Heavy snowfall in Africa's world-famous Sahara Desert, while in Saudi Arabia, for the first time in a long time, the temperature dropped to minus two degrees Celsius. A white layer of snow covered the golden sands of the desert.

Foreign media flocked to see and photograph the white sheet found on the sands of the Sahara desert. So, according to a report on Geo TV, local and international tourists flocked to see the snow falling in the Asir area of ​​Saudi Arabia.

A video clip was circulating on social media showing snowfall in the desert region of Saudi Arabia. Arab News reported with a big headline that it's snowing ... (It's snowing here.)

The desert region of sub-Saharan Africa and especially Ain Sefra is located at an altitude of about 1000 meters above sea level and is surrounded by mountainous areas. This desert of Sahara in North Africa extends far and wide. Sometimes in thousands of years such a scene is seen here. Reports of nature's wonders being seen in January this year surfaced in the international media.

The Ain Sefra area is now completely dry, but after 15,000 years of snowfall, it was thought that the area would be overgrown with greenery in the near future. The snowfall created a hazy atmosphere among the people living around the Sahara desert area. The last few generations have never seen such a scene in this area. So for them the scene was like a surprise.
