Dust storm clears and Dubai resident continued towards his journey back home from Oman.
Dubai resident Gavril Mankoo recently had an eventful drive back after his Eid Al Adha holiday in Salalah, Oman. After enjoying a six-day stay amidst the misty hills of Salalah, Gavril started his journey back home to Dubai on the evening of July 1, not knowing the freaky weather he and his companions would face.
Leaving behind the cloudy skies of Salalah in the Dhofar Governorate, Gavril set off on the Salalah-Nizwah-Ibri-Dubai highway. However, as he and his wife, his brother and sister-in-law drove towards Dubai around 6:17 pm, they were suddenly caught in an unprecedented sandstorm. Speaking to Khaleej Times, he said, "This was the strongest sandstorm we've ever encountered, with powerful winds whipping up dust and reducing visibility to dangerous levels. At one point, driving became hazardous."
