The social media handle also posted a video showing dusty conditions in Dubai:
A dust storm alert had been issued for many parts of the UAE earlier today. Winds with speeds of up to 40kmph are kicking up dust, reducing visibility to less than half a kilometre in some areas.

In an alert, the NCM said horizontal visibility has been reduced to less than 1km “over the islands, some coastal and internal areas especially westward till 10pm tonight”.
