SOMETIMES IT SNOWS IN THE DESERT: People may think of the UAE as being nothing but hot desert, but each of the emirates has its own individual landscape, culture and character, with much of the country covered in rugged mountains. In the winter months the high peaks of Jebel Jais in RAK have even been known to become snowcapped, with temperatures occasionally dropping below freezing.
