Cleaning Up After the Sandstorm
Ahmed and Nabil cleaning up. You can just see the square of sand on the bottom of the pool that Ahmed hasn't yet vacuumed up.
Sand everywhere, except the dogs bed, that, I was required to clean first thing.
Nabil beating the dust, and the stuffing, out of our dilapidated cushions. We only have 6 months left so haven't bother to replace them, and you can see why.

The Second Day of This Sandstorm
A sandstorm, strong winds and lashing rains swept across Egypt on Sunday, closing several ports and disrupting traffic in the Suez Canal, officials said

Officials at Cairo airport said preventive measures were being taken after visibility was reduced to 300 metres (yards).
Twenty-six ships were barred from entering the Suez Canal and 29 vessels delayed for three hours before they could move through the waterway linking the Mediterranean to the Red Sea.
The waterway was hit by poor visibility and winds of up to 40 knots an hour, said an official at the canal, Egypt's third-largest source of foreign revenue after tourism and remittances from expatriate workers.
High waves also closed all eight of Egypt's main Red Sea ports on Sunday for the second consecutive day, as well its Mediterranean ports of Alexandria and Dekheila, officials said.
Meteorologists said the bad weather was expected to last through Monday and have advised people to stay indoors due to a sandstorm that has blanketed the Egyptian capital.
With temperatures having plunged since Friday night, thunderstorms and heavy rains have lashed the north coast, Red Sea region and the Sinai peninsula.
I don't know anything about the heavy rains but we must have half of Libya in our living room. Brian
