With schools off and many road users away on holiday, the streets appear generally calm in the UAE on Thursday morning, with the exception of a number of traffic jams in Dubai and Sharjah.

Similarly, Al Taawun street is experiencing heavy morning traffic.
Traffic also appears to be quite congested around Sharjah’s New Al Nahda Park.
Sharjah’s Ring Road at the Industrial Area 8, 2. Cultural Square has a long stretch of slow moving cars that are travelling at an average speed of 8 km/hr.
In Dubai, heavy traffic can be seen on E311 – Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed road starting from the Jebel Ali – Lahbab roundabout, and ends slightly before Dubai Investment Park 1.
Heavier traffic can be seen near Al Qouz Industrial Area 2 on D67-Latifa Bint Hamdan street. Traffic is as slow as 4 km/hr – as reported on traffic app map Waze. Similarly, cars are moving at 4 km/hr on D71 – Financial Center street.

It's Monty Python's Crashing Rocket Circus
To the theme tune of the famous zany British comedy TV show, SpaceX has shown exactly what can go wrong when you try to land a rocket.
The two minute video posted on YouTube is a compilation of crashes and explosion as the company, created by billionaire Elon Musk, refined the technique of reusable space flight.
SpaceX is able to land its rockets on land once they have completed the first stage of their mission, and is able to resuse them multiple times - a first for space flight.
But as the video, How Not to Land an Orbital Rocket Booster, demonstrates, it was a case if you fail, try and try again.
What vitamins do we know are beneficial for living in the UAE
Vitamin D: Highly relevant in the UAE due to limited sun exposure; supports bone health, immunity and mood.
Vitamin B12: Important for nerve health and energy production, especially for vegetarians, vegans and individuals with absorption issues.
Iron: Useful only when deficiency or anaemia is confirmed; helps reduce fatigue and support immunity.
Omega-3 (EPA/DHA): Supports heart health and reduces inflammation, especially for those who consume little fish.
