Access to Jebel Hafit also suspended.
Authorities have urged privately run companies in Al Ain to activate remote working tomorrow (Monday 4 October) due to the ongoing Storm Shaheen.
The plea comes after it was announced that all Government entity and company employees would be working on a remote basis as the weather conditions worsened in the Oasis City and advised residents to not leave their homes unless there is an emergency.
Due to current weather conditions, further precautionary actions will be taken in Al Ain, including employees in government entities and companies to work remotely on Monday, 4 October.
