Garn Al Sabkha tunnel in Dubai has reopened to traffic after authorities closed it temporarily due to waterlogging.
Taking to their official Twitter handle, Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) the Garn Al Sabkha tunnel towards Sheikh Zayed Road is now functional.
It comes after the authority announced the closure of two main roads after heavy rain left some parts inundated.
