Residents of certain areas in Dubai and Sharjah are finding it difficult to resume their normal lives as streets continue to be flooded even six days after heavy rains hit the region. Reports indicate that several neighborhoods, including Al Majaz, Jamal Abdul Nasir, Al Wahda, Mudon, Warsan, and Discovery Gardens, are still grappling with waterlogging, making it challenging for residents to navigate through the inundated streets.
