Amateur photographer Karim Bouchetata took the spectacular photos showing the Sahara Desert covered in pickets of snow.
The last time snow was reportedly seen in Ain Sefra was on February 18, 1979, when a snow storm lasted just half an hour.

Ain Sefra is a famous tourist destination in Algeria, located between Mt Atlas to the west and Sahara Desert to the east.
