Travel in the United Arab Emirates was disrupted following heavy rainstorms, as roads were left flooded.

Footage filmed on May 25 shows a link road from Shawqa connecting to the Fujairah express highway submerged under torrential waters.

Some travellers can be seen watching from the banks, while other vehicles attempt to drive through the watery crossing.

Reportedly this road was left flooded for a day before clearing.
