Sahara desert experienced its heaviest snowfall in living memory on Saturday after a storm struck the El-Bayadh province in Algeria, North Africa. The sand dunes in the desert were covered in one-metre-deep snow. Notably, the Sahara desert, the hottest in the world, recorded its first snowfall in 37 years in December.
