A major clean-up operation is under way on roads and in communities across the

UAE after two days of heavy rain.

Some routes remained flooded on Tuesday morning causing lengthy delays for

commuters, even as gloomy skies gave way to sunshine.

In Dubai, a waterlogged section of the busy Sheikh Zayed Road remains sealed
off, with traffic diversions still in place early on Tuesday afternoon.

The Roads and Transport Authority urged drivers travelling on the Jebel Ali

stretch to use alternative routes, in a message on X posted shortly after 6.20am.

The authority said, in response to residents on social media, it was also working

to remove water from flooded areas of Al Qudra Road.

Dubai Municipality said it had sent a team to clear water from flood-hit areas.
