No abras, water taxis or ferries will be operating in Dubai today (Mar 09) — until further notice, the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) announced.
According to Khaleej Times, marine transport has been suspended in Dubai as heavy rain and thunderstorms lash the country.
Residents have been advised to stay home — unless absolutely necessary — amid severe weather conditions, which are expected to peak today until evening. The rain is forecast to last until Sunday noon.
Those who need to drive in these conditions are urged to be extra careful on the roads, especially since some streets are already flooded. (NewsWire)
