Dubai is facing an unprecedented “double crisis” as March 2026 comes to a close. Early this morning, UAE air defenses intercepted a massive barrage of 11 ballistic missiles and 37 drones launched from Iran, with falling debris causing minor injuries and property damage in southern residential areas. This follows a direct drone strike on a Kuwaiti oil tanker at Dubai’s port, which was successfully extinguished by maritime teams. Adding to the chaos, the city is still recovering from historic thunderstorms that flooded major roads and led to an extension of distance learning for all schools and universities until April 17. With fuel prices surging and markets volatile, the global hub is navigating its most challenging period in recent history.
