Abu Dhabi Police called on motorists to "exercise caution" on the road after a weather alert over the prospect of rain and dust storms was issued.
The National Centre of Meteorology said visibility could be reduced until 8pm on Saturday due to a chance of "rainfall and fresh winds causing blowing dust and sand".
