A weather warning was issued to motorists after dust storms swept across the country on Wednesday morning.
The National Centre of Meteorology issued a yellow alert covering large sections of Abu Dhabi and Dubai, urging people to 'be aware' of the challenging conditions.
The notice is in place until 12pm on Wednesday.
The bureau said the dusty weather reduced visibility to 1,000 metres over the Al Minhad area of Dubai at about 6am.
Abu Dhabi Police called on motorists to be vigilant in a message on social media.
"We ask fellow drivers to be careful because of the low horizontal visibility during the formation of dust, and not to be preoccupied with their phone and taking pictures in order to preserve your safety and the safety of road users," Abu Dhabi Police wrote on Twitter.
The UAE was been hit by fog and hazy skies during the course of the week.
Despite the unsettled conditions, temperatures remain high.
The mercury is expected to reach 37°C in Al Ain, with highs of 32°C in Dubai.

How the bonus system works
The two riders are among several riders in the UAE to receive the top payment of £10,000 under the Thank You Fund of £16 million (Dh80m), which was announced in conjunction with Deliveroo's £8 billion (Dh40bn) stock market listing earlier this year.
The £10,000 (Dh50,000) payment is made to those riders who have completed the highest number of orders in each market.
There are also riders who will receive payments of £1,000 (Dh5,000) and £500 (Dh2,500).
All riders who have worked with Deliveroo for at least one year and completed 2,000 orders will receive £200 (Dh1,000), the company said when it announced the scheme.
