Snow in Empty Quarter Draws Attention
Snowfall in the Empty Quarter is a rare phenomenon that occurred during the summer in the Al-Sabkha Am Al-Samim area of Oman. Videos were shared showing a scene that suggests snow amidst the desert. This event is a result of climatic changes that cause water to collect and then evaporate, leaving behind white salt layers that shimmer as if they were snow. Omani photographer Ahmed Al-Hosni documented the phenomenon after three attempts, explaining that such a change requires special conditions, and that aerial photography helped highlight the vastness of the area and its contrast with the surrounding desert environment.
