Airport runway should be on slightly elevated ground. Very typical of Dubai. Build without proper planning. Their reclaimed Islands also sinking.

As you know it is rare to have such heavy storms in Middle East, normally very dry and dusty throughout the year.

Flagship shopping centres Dubai Mall and Mall of the Emirates both suffered flooding and water was ankle-deep in at least one Dubai Metro station, according to images posted on social media.

Roads and residential communities also suffered heavy flooding and many residents reported leaks from roofs, doors and windows.
