Emiratis frolicked in the snow over the weekend, as temperatures plummeted across the United Arab Emirates.
The UAE’s weather service, the National Center of Meteorology and Seismology (NCMS), reported that the usually warm and arid region experienced temperatures as low as -5 degrees Celsius (23 Fahrenheit) on Friday evening.
The rare snowfall covered the UAE’s tallest peak, Jebel Jais, and residents weren’t afraid to brave the cold. Many gathered on the mountain and spent the day building snowmen, having snowball fights and holding tobogganing races.
Emirati men enjoyed the snow while holding tobogganing races on the mountain.
While the region Ras al-Khaimah has experienced snow several years in a row, the heavy snowfall at Jebel Jais mountain was unusual.
“It was pretty busy (on the mountain) as we don’t usually get snow in UAE, so people from all (over) the Emirates came to see the snow,” a photographer in the region, Yousef Bin Shakar Alzaabi, told CNN.
The average minimum temperature across the UAE since 2003 has been 13.3 degrees Celsius (55.58 Fahrenheit) according to the NCMS.
Despite the snow being welcomed and celebrated by many, elsewhere organizers for the Tour of Dubai were forced to cancel stage four of the cycling race due to high winds causing dangerous conditions.

You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be really something which I think I would never understand. It seems too complex and extremely broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!
Good article! We will be linking to this great content on our site. Keep up the great writing.
Thank you for your feedback and interesting view – Of course you are correct in saying that this is a broad and complex topic – I feel that the World of Travel is personal to the traveller and not all the information on the numerous sites out there will capture the interest and imagination of the reader unless it happens to be what one was looking for – Keeping it simple is rather difficult and some readers want simplicity whereas others look for detail – Please do let us know where we fall short in our reviews so that we are in a position to make it ‘more relevant’. Many thanks again for your feedback and reading our posts. Happy Travels

Moin!
Ich mache mir derzeit Gedanken darüber, was für ein Diät-Produkt spannend
wäre. Was auch immer ich bisher ausprobiert habe, war durchweg unwirksam.
Könnt ihr mir sagen, was ich dabei zu berücksichtigen habe?
Ich halte nichts von solchen Wundermitteln, die
eine Menge zusichern, aber nur wenig halten. Also nicht falsch verstehen, ich mag keine Zauberpille, aber es
muss doch irgendwelche Produkte geben, die wenigstens ein bisschen helfen.
Über Vorschläge oder Infos würde ich mich sehr freuen
Beste Grüße
