Hussain Sajwani, the chairman of Damac Properties, one of the United Arab Emirate’s largest private real estate developers, sought to downplay the severity of flooding in the country earlier this month, saying there were only “pockets of problems.”
He told CNBC’s Dan Murphy that he didn’t see lessons had to be learned as it was an unusual storm.

This was worst storm in 75 years of UAE
Justifying Allah’s azaab
What a question to ask when in America and UK every winter they act shocked if it snows and the whole world stops. Year after year of blizzards and people still die. Don’t even start me on Britain and the devastation rain causes. All trains chaotic because of leaves. What happened in Dubai is what happens everywhere…nature.
We don’t deal with snow past the bare minimum in the UK because we know that it’s rare and short lived. It makes no economic sense to bring out tons of plows and heavy, expensive equipment just to deal with the one day that we get 1 inch of snow. Better to just grit the main roads, and cancel the schools so that children can go out and make some of those core memories that will only get rarer as climate change gets worse.
Point taken about the trains though, our trains are less reliable, slower, and more expensive than just owning and driving a car.
