Emiratis frolic in the snow as temperatures plummet in the UAE

Emiratis frolicked in the snow over the weekend, as temperatures plummeted across the United Arab Emirates.

The UAE's weather service, the National Center of Meteorology and Seismology (NCMS), reported that the usually warm and arid region experienced temperatures as low as -5 degrees Celsius (23 Fahrenheit) on Friday evening.

Emirati men enjoyed the snow while holding tobogganing races on the mountain.           

While the region Ras al-Khaimah has experienced snow several years in a row, the heavy snowfall at Jebel Jais mountain was unusual.
