The Minyat Samannud arch bridge in Gharbia Governorate, Egypt, is photographed during an intense sandstorm (khamaseen), casting the entire scene in a thick orange haze. Vehicles cross the bridge while a lone pedestrian stands on the sidewalk, with urban buildings on the opposite bank obscured by suspended dust. Khamaseen sandstorms are a seasonal weather phenomenon common across Egypt and the MENA region, typically occurring in spring between April and June.
