Quick Glance: UAE: Landslides Trigger Road Collapse in Al Ain, RAK
- A massive natural disaster struck the region of Al Qua in Al Ain, resulting in a significant collapse of a sandy road resembling a massive crater. The incident, caused by heavy rainfall and overflowing wadis, has drastically altered the driving conditions for motorists in the area.

The combined force of water flow and erosion led to the disintegration of the road, posing a hazardous scenario for anyone attempting to traverse the affected area.
- Another occurrence involved the collapse of a road section leading towards Emirates Road in Ras Al Khaimah due to a landslide following intense rainfall in the region. Ras Al Khaimah Police took measures to isolate the affected zone and advise motorists to proceed with caution, reduce speed, and steer clear of the compromised road segment.
