As rain lashed Dubai on Monday afternoon, residents and royals came out to enjoy the rain, including Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai.
The young prince hit the road in his Mercedes 4WD to enjoy the rain, that has hit the city after a long time as winter is about to begin in the country.
Moderate rain lashed parts of Dubai on Monday morning after heavy downpour in other parts of the country over the weekend and on Sunday.
The morning began with heavy rain in Fujairah. Police have issued a weather warning for motorists urging them to drive carefully and avoid valleys among other flood-prone areas.
The national Met department also issued a sea warning, predicting up to 7ft waves hitting the coast of UAE today.
