Its raining money in Dubai!!

[Levina]

Some say it was in KSA. The color of the 500 notes don't look like the 500 note in UAE.

The buildings in the photo look as if it was clicked in Dubai.

@levina now probably will look for a Ferrari

Ferrari?
Nope, I cant handle cars with high acceleration. Last when I tried my cousin's Jeep SRT, it literally broke into a furious gallop just like a horse. I was so nervous.

@levina and @Al Bhatti

This occurred in Kuwait 2-3 weeks ago.

Here is the original video in Arabic.

From the video I can see that this happened in Kuwait City.

Very funny nevertheless.

@Aslan can you confirm it?

i doubted also

1) from the accent of the lady, it was neither KSA accent nor UAE accent.
2) the buildings and the car number plates

I just found the original Kuwaiti one and came to post it and saw your post.

I can't recognise the locality, and the registration plates 're not clear so am assuming you're right.

تناثر أوراق نقدية من فئة الـ 20 دينار بالشارع والمارة يستغلون الفرصة

فوجئ المارة وأصحاب السيارات بتناثر أوراق نقدية من فئة 20 دينار بإحدى الشوارع مقابل مجمع الوزارات، ما اثار تكالباً للمارة على جمع اكثر ما يمكن من الاوراق النقدية. حيث أدى ذلك إلى توقف الحركة لبعض الوقت في الشارع.

This is the actual news from the Kuwaiti newspaper.

The bank notes are 20 KWD denominations and it happened opposite the Ministry complex

People like to put link everything to Dubai or KSA

I just found the original Kuwaiti one and so your post.

Actually as you might know then there are several Arabic dialects in KSA. I presume that people in the northern coastal areas of the Eastern Province, for instance in Khafji, speak a very similar dialect to the one spoken in nearby Kuwait. In fact I am sure that they do. So in theory it could have been in KSA the footage just proves it otherwise.

Also I am not sure where leading English newspapers like Emirates 24/7 get information like this from?

Asir Province is a very mountainous province and such skyscrapers are non-existent. Only tall residential areas exist. It indeed snowed in KSA a few days ago (which it does a few times during the winter months each year) but that occurred in the North as usual. Snowfall occurs in the mountainous areas of Hijaz and the Southern Provinces but it's rare and happens in the higher mountains.

There was the final confirmation.

@levina better luck next time. You too @Al Bhatti !

Also I am not sure where leading English newspapers like Emirates 24/7 get information like this from?

In a report from Asir, ‘Sabq’ newspaper explained the phenomenon. “Two bank employees were supplying the ATM machine with notes during a sandstorm when nearly SR10,000 in SR100 notes were blown away.”

@Al Bhatti


I found the original article. Here it is.

سبق | 10 آلاف ريال تطير في الهواء أثناء تغذية صرّافة بعسير!

It says that SR10,000 disappeared with the wind when a security company was feeding an ATM. Before the police investigated the accident all the money was apparently gone.

Not sure if to believe this.

Notes are kept in steel boxes for a reason.

Strange things are happening this month it seems in the GCC.

Never mind we discovered what really happened and that it did not occur in Dubai.

Traffic comes to a halt as it starts raining MONEY in Dubai: Cash worth more than half a million pounds blows through the city - and nobody knows where it came from

• Hundreds of 500AED notes (£88 or Rs 8000) was blown through city of Dubai
• People dashed out of their cars to get their hands on the money
• It is not known where it came from, and no explanation has been given

Motorists driving through Dubai could not believe their eyes when it started raining money in the middle of the UAE city.

Thousands of 500 UAE Dirham notes - worth around £88 - flew through the oil-rich city on a busy afternoon earlier this month, and officials have yet to give an explanation as to why, or reveal a source of the cash.

Drivers abandoned their cars in order to get their hands on the notes blowing down the road, and were filmed holding handfuls of notes.

It is estimated that notes valued between two and three million Dirham were loose - meaning up to £500,000 was blowing in the wind.

The notes were carried by strong winds through the Jumeirah area of Dubai for several minutes, but locals have got no idea where it came from.

One surprised local described how his wife pulled over her car to film motorists dodging cash collectors on a busy stretch of highway in the city.

@Al Bhatti @rockstarIN

I heard it happened at Kuwait, not UAE.

Some poor soul lost monies in the high winds..!!

I know. You are a good descent person. I was just joking which I do often around here and in real life.

I knew you were joking.
Who wants to end up behind the bars for picking up somebody else's money?? And that exactly is the reason why I would 've avoided doing so.

Doing crime in the GCC is a bad thing so I understand where you are coming from. At least the jails are better in the UAE than in KSA.
