I don't remember what they called it specifically, but I do remember that while everyone closed their windows to protect themselves from the heat and dust, we were the only ones opening every window and door, trying to get any current of air into our apartment. Many years later I was fortunate enough to experience a dust storm while visiting the Pyramids. I mean fortunate because I had never experienced the pain of the tinniest of rock particles hitting every exposed bit of my skin. Quite the experience, indeed, and it gave me a whole new perspective and respect for the people who braves to dessert and comes on top.Georgina Moraleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03164961271767174713noreply@blogger.com
