Dust storm plays havoc with Saudi air traffic
A massive dust storm played havoc with Saudi air traffic on Tuesday, shutting down airports in the capital Riyadh and the eastern oil city of Dammam, and also causing disruption in neighbouring Kuwait.
Heavy dust storms engulfed parts of the UAE on Thursday, causing several minor traffic accidents due to poor visibility in Sharjah even as meteorologists and traffic police strictly warned motorists to be cautious on the roads.
