As the rain continues to transform the UAE’s landscape this week, an unexpected moment of quiet spectacle was captured by Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence and Chairman of The Executive Council of Dubai, which gave monsoon lovers a glimpse into the rare beauty of a rain-soaked desert. In a series of widely shared social media posts, Sheikh Hamdan offered residents a striking, almost cinematic glimpse of Dubai under rain, not from a high-rise or city boulevard but from the desert outskirts, where shifting sands met glistening wet roads.
