Spectacular view/ The sandstorm "devours" Abu Dhabi and Dubai, 44

The last two days in the United Arab Emirates have been accompanied by massive sandstorms, which have affected some of the main tourism centers such as Abu Dhabi and Dubai.

Residents in scrappy skies across the country woke up covered in dust as authorities issued weather and traffic alerts.

Certain areas of the United Arab Emirates also saw rain of varying intensity and the formation of dense dust, which led to a decrease in horizontal visibility to less than 500 meters, as a result of the country being affected by the stretch of air pressure surface that stretches from east to west.

Një paralajmërim sigurie iu komunikua qytetarëve në Abu Dhabi, ndërsa Qendra Kombëtare e Meteorologjisë u bëri thirrje atyre që banonin në pjesët e kryeqytetit më të goditura nga mjegulla e dendur që të ishin “jashtëzakonisht vigjilentë”.

Një njoftim portokalli për rrezikun nga stuhia u vendos në pjesë të mëdha të emiratit, si dhe Dubai.

Winds of up to 40 kilometers per hour have kicked up sand and dust that has risen into the air, obscuring city skylines and creating challenging conditions for directing the movement of vehicles and people.
