About this ebook
The news of snow in Egypt and across the Middle East made headlines in the international media in late 2013, and many people who live in the region saw snow for the first time in their lives. It was a rare event, something that does happen sometimes, but not too often – the last snow fall in Cairo was 112 years ago. Unknown to most people, however, there is a region in Egypt which receives snow every year. It’s not like the Alps, but every winter at least a little snow falls in the Sinai High Mountain Region around the town of St. Catherine, in the centre of the Sinai Peninsula.
This little free ebook presents rare photos of snow in and around the town of St. Catherine, taken on several occasions during the last 5 years. It has been designed with the smart phones and tablets in mind, but should work just as fine on a computer screen.
Take a tour of the Sinai high mountains, and enjoy your snowy trip in Egypt!
