Sandstorm whiting out the Dubai skyline
I went to Abu Dhabi last Saturday to seem my first cousin, Shakeel, and his family. Abu Dhabi is the capital of the UAE, but its much smaller and not as Vegas like as Dubai. Check out the pics of my cousins and his two awesome kids.
While in Abu Dhabi, a huge thunderstorm hit. Being in the desert, I just assumed that it never rained. But, it does rain every couple of months, and very violently. There are huge storms with tons of lightning, torrential downpours, but it never lasts more than an hour. No cities here are equipped to handle any amount of water, and sand does not absorb water at all. This leads to crazy flash floods, and completely flooded roads, that take days to clear up. The government literally has to pump water into tanks to be transported away. Check out the pics!
