Two Russian couples faced a precarious situation during their staycation at the Domes at Hatta resort as heavy rains flooded the resort's homestead.

The group of four friends, all residents of the UAE, were enjoying their getaway when a risky situation fell upon them. Since their arrival the previous day, the group has been experiencing pleasant weather.

However, as the clock struck 11am on Tuesday, the rain intensified, catching them off guard. ”It has been raining since midnight, but it was fine until 11am. Then the rain started getting stronger and stronger. The forecast was unpredictable before this, so it was really hard to tell if it would be accurate or not," said Maria, one of the people in the group.

The forecast certainly turned out to be accurate, as the couple shared videos with Khaleej Times, showing how the water quickly flooded the resort, accumulating in a deluge that inundated the resort's garden and homestead by 11.43 am.

Maria mentioned that they were rescued by staff at around 11.45am. "We just called reception and they immediately sent us a 4-wheel car to rescue all of us and all our bags," Maria acknowledged.

Thankfully, the quick action by resort staff prevented any potential dangers ensuring that the vacationing couples emerged unharmed from the unexpected situation.

Maria expressed her gratitude, stating, "Everything is fine now, we are almost home, due to the professionalism of the resort team."

Despite the unexpected turn of events, she expressed her fondness for the resort, saying, “We love it there! Would love to come back some time when the weather changes.”
