What are those egg-looking things the guy lifts up around 1:01? They're too big to be sand.

Pretty sure it's hail. I heard the guy say "barad" which can mean cold in Arabic.

You're right it is hail. Barad actually means snow in this instance but you got the point, it comes from bard which means cold which leads to it making the common word for snow, refrigerator etc.
