Whenever we talk about Dubai, the things that pop first in our minds are deserts, tall buildings and endless money. Dubai has emerged as one of the biggest tourist destinations in the world thanks to extensive expenditure on infrastructure development. Whatever the desert land is missing, it has managed to buy or construct.
It might seem that Dubai wouldn’t have the same problem as developing countries like India or Pakistan but this viral video suggests otherwise. In the video, one of the biggest attractions of the Emirate, Dubai Mall can be seen getting flooded.
The visuals are similar to how monsoons result in waterlogging and flooding in cities like Mumbai. Netizens are sharing the video, shocked by the reality of the wonder city. It is not just the mall, a metro station can also be seen in the video getting flooded.
Dubai Mall is one of the most visited places on Earth. More than a 100 million visitors visit the mall in a year and therefore it is an embarrassing incident for Dubai which relies heavily on tourism.
Dubai is a desert city and rain is a very rare phenomenon for the geographical location. Whenever it rains, it usually creates chaotic situations like these.
These visuals are from Dubai Mall.
When any such incident occurs in India, the opposition & wannabe intellectuals start mocking Indian govt and airport authorities for leaking roofs. pic.twitter.com/Zh2OikjoON
