More recently, in the vast global network has pictures of snow littered Egypt. It was reported that the first time in 122 years there was an abnormal drop in temperature and the first time in ten years in Cairo, the snow fell. So what's the catch? - You ask. The answer, read on.

Tweeted a photograph of snow-covered pyramids and the surrounding area. According to photos published one of the Twitter users Michael Notemom at least three ancient pyramids and the surrounding area around the desert covered with snow, which is unprecedented spectacle for the usually sandy landscape even in winter in Egypt.
