Water can be seen covering Sheikh Zayed Road, a main road running through Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Patches of flooded areas can also be seen in Khalifa City and Madinat Zayed, two residential areas located southeast of downtown Abu Dhabi.

The water can be seen in blue in the picture, and the floods appear in the industrial area in Jebel Ali, directly south of the port and near the green resorts and parks south of Palm Jebel Ali.
