Hail hits Sharm al-Sheikh, floods expected at St. Catherine

A hailstorm rocked the Sinai resort city of Sharm al-Sheikh on Thursday, while torrential rains hit the governorate's central cities of Saint Catherine and Mount Sinai.

Floods are expected at the Saint Catherine-Mount Sinai crossroads after rain waters descend from the Catherine Mountains.

The Sharm al-Sheikh-Mount Sinai route was closed following heavy rainfall. The Kamin al-Sahel area, 10km from Mount Sinai, was also hit by large quantities of rain.
