Sheikh Zayed Road had reduced visibility due to the dense fog today morning. Message boards prompted motorists to "reduce speed" and "use fog lights".
Dubai Marina and Jumeirah Lakes Towers were also engulfed in the fog, as it seemed like clouds descended on the high-rise buildings that populate the area.
Abu Dhabi Police has also issued multiple advisories and has reduced the speed limit on several roads to urge motorists to drive safer.
The monster fog even enveloped Sharjah. A white fog blanketed the city as residents stepped out for their morning activities wearing jackets.
