quite cool to be honest....would have loved to see it myself...is that place accessible to normal people btw??
Looks lovely... I have been telling everyone since morning that it snowed in the UAE! I have spent one day in RAK and associating snow with that quiet, rocky desert is a strange thought.
Cool ... but if I'm not mistaken, this isn't the first time it's happened. I think it was in 2004 maybe when it snowed in RAK... although perhaps not at this magnitude...
global warming rocks
damn, missed it!
very cool ;)
puns included
Yes D, it rained in 2004, but it's the first time the place got 'carpeted' by snow.
I have seen snow in RAK 3 times.
The first was in 1984
Gulf news must think we have amnesia.
Is it the condition is the same now also?
I MISSED THIS!!!
