Natural disasters in Dubai
Unlike much of the Middle East, Dubai is in a very stable zone.
The nearest seismic fault line is the Zargos Fault which lies 120 km from the UAE and is unlikely to have any seismic impact on Dubai.
The possibility of a tsunami in the region is also minimal as the waters of the Persian Gulf are not deep enough to trigger a tsunami.
There is always the possibility that, caused by global warming, environmental conditions could change, leaving the low lying emirate and its artificial islands exposed to new flood risks.
