Saudi Arabia, desert dust

A large part of the Arabian peninsula consists of a vast desert area. The region gets frequently hit by dust storms, as was the case on 1-2 April 2015. At some locations, visibility was reduced to only a few meters and severely hindered road and air traffic; flights on Dubai airport were diverted for about a day.
