Sandstorms are most common in Egypt during the spring months of March to May and occasionally in the fall months of September to November. However, they can occur sporadically throughout the year, particularly in desert regions.
Beijing is the city in China where sandstorms are most likely to occur in spring. This is because it is situated close to the Gobi Desert, which is a major source of sandstorms in the region.
Sandstorms most frequently occur in arid or semi-arid regions with loose, dry soil, such as deserts or coastal areas. Some of the most well-known regions for sandstorms include the Sahara Desert in Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, and parts of the southwestern United States.
Sandstorms are most common in arid desert regions around the world, such as the Sahara Desert in Africa, the Arabian Desert in the Middle East, and the Gobi Desert in Asia. These regions have the perfect combination of dry, sandy terrain and high winds that can cause sandstorms to occur frequently.
Dust storms are most likely to occur on hot summer days under certain atmospheric conditions, so meteorologists can frequently predict the possibility of these storms. The last recorded devastating sandstorm in American history was the Dust Bowl which caused the depression. One that occurred near Tucson, Arizona, on July 16, 1971, was extensively documented by meteorologists. Field observations, accompanied by trapping of airborne solids, showed that in Israel most of the sand and dust storms occur in the fall and winter seasons when dry periods change to periods of wet weather. In Kuwait, the month of April is known as 'sandstorm month'. Sandstorms that come from Northern Africa and drift across Europe are called 'Sahara Sand Storms'.

Yes, sandstorms can and do occur in the deserts of Egypt.

Sandstorms occur in deserts all over the world. However, the magnitude of sandstorms that occur in the United States usually pale in comparison to those in other parts of the world such as the Middle East and China. In addition, it should be noted that sandstorms typically occur most frequently in spring. It is impossible to give a complete list of where sandstorms occur because, to some extent, they can occur virtually anywhere. The main three geographic regions are the Middle East, Northern Africa, and Northern China. Here is a list of countries most typically associated with sandstorms because of their geography and climate: Afghanistan, Algeria, Bahrain, China, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Mongolia, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Syria, United Arab Emirates, Uzbekistan Notice that the United States is not on the list. That is because, relatively speaking, sandstorms are a rare and minor occurrence in comparison to certain other natural disasters such as hurricanes and earthquakes. Nevertheless, in the United States sandstorms occur in the southwest in states such as Arizona, Texas, and New Mexico and are frequent in Death Valley.

Sandstorms, Drought, Bushfires and Cyclones.
Sandstorms occur mostly in the spring because this is when the combination of stronger winds and drier conditions make it easier for sand particles to be lifted and carried in the air. Additionally, spring is typically a transitional period between winter and summer, when temperature gradients are higher and can lead to more atmospheric instability, contributing to the formation of sandstorms.
sandstorms occur when windstorms happen in a dry desert area which picks up dirt and sand and blows all over the place
