The UAE was one of a number of Middle Eastern countries to bare the brunt of a freak weather phenomenon yesterday.
A shock snowstorm blasted through the Arab country, usually known for its blistering heat, scorched deserts and year-round sunshine.
The blizzard covered parts of the country with up to 10 centimetres of snow, according to the local Met Office.
Other Gulf States also experienced rare lightning strikes, sandstorms, rough seas and high winds of up to 90km an hour.

Oh No and they only wear Flip Flops , LOL
Dubai is capitalism on steroids. Skyscrapers everywhere, always trying to have the biggest malls and most unique architecture in the world. Indoor ski slopes, undersea aquariums, casinos on the islands of the Palm Jumeirah and other palm developments. They built a modern elevated train system 10 years ago that takes you throughout the city.
They have been planning several apartment towers that rotate so that every apartment has views of the city every day. That would be an engineering feat.
The developers have exploited workers to build everything, and it’s probably not a paradise for them. Contractors pay workers about $200 per month plus room and board, and put them up in labor camps. But most of these workers would make less than $500 PER YEAR in their home countries. So there’s always people willing to take these jobs.
Who needs to ride a camel when there’s so many fine quarter horse in the state?
Over there, that should be in about 10 or 15 minutes.
Using the metric system sure makes things sound bigger.
They have the benefit of no women drivers though
to bare the brunt
Yes, I think baring ones brunt is pretty much illegal in all cultures lol
“They openly support Trumps travel ban”
Are they taking in mid-east refugees?
Is my father who art in heaven sending the Muslim hordes a message? I think so. 8>)
I doubt that they do. But Dubai and Abu Dhabi are not set up to do much for their own people, let alone unemployed refugees. The country has little unemployment. You are either royalty or you have a job.

I’d walk a mile not to ride a camel.
There is no Allah but Satan, and Muhammad was his murdering pedophile.
