A dust storm engulfed skyscrapers in Dubai, disrupting flights as the poor weather reduced visibility.

Footage shows the thick blanket of dust smothering the city in a dense haze on August 14.

A Dubai International Airport spokesman said the dust storm had caused 44 flight cancellations and 12 diversions over two days, but added that operations were returning to normal on Monday.

The National Centre of Meteorology said visibility had dropped to under 500 metres at the Abu Dhabi and Dubai airports. The city is one of the world's busiest aviation hubs.
