Dubai after Iran's attacks. Hotels are turning into shelters
According to CNN, learning in schools has been temporarily moved to the Internet. The popularity of apps that deliver groceries to homes has increased rapidly as people prefer not to leave home. The network siege caused delays in deliveries. Many people also visited supermarkets in a hurry. Neighborhoods, usually crowded until late in the evening, are empty this weekend.
A recording of Dubai “turned into a ghost town” published by “Tehran Times” was published online.
According to CNN, after the closure of the UAE's airspace, some residents moved from Dubai to quieter parts of the country. Tourists stranded in the UAE also sought shelter. In Hatta, near the border with Oman, at least one hotel turned a conference room into a makeshift shelter for tourists who had checked out of their rooms but were unable to return home. Many residents spent Saturday evenings in underground garages because Dubai has no public bomb shelters.
Others crossed the border into Oman — initially the only country in the region untouched by Iranian attacks. On Sunday, however, the Omani authorities announced that two drones attacked the local port.
