Watch: UAE rainfall floods wadis, dramatic scenes captured on video

Dubai: Heavy rainfall across the UAE has caused wadis to overflow, creating striking scenes captured in videos shared on social media.

Mountain and valley areas, including parts of Al Ain, Tawiyin, Ras Al Khaimah, and the eastern region, are experiencing significant water flow, highlighting the impact of the ongoing rain.

In Al Ain, rain poured over the city, creating a striking scene of the mountains seemingly embraced by clouds.

Meanwhile, wadis in Tawiyin (north of Fujairah), Wadi Bih in Ras Al Khaimah, and Wadi Shuka in the eastern region are reported to be flowing, with videos shared by Storm.ae highlighting the rising water levels.
