Weather of any kind requires care put into construction. It’s expensive to make a building that can handle literally every kind of weather and for the most part it’s utterly pointless. For example, if you’re building a house in Moscow you don’t need to design it for 35+ degree weather, much like how in Cairo you don’t need to design for -20 degree weather. All that you’d accomplish by swinging for such unreasonable extremes would be wasting a lot of money.

Dubai is in a desert. The key thing that defines a desert is that it has extremely low amounts of rain. There’s no way that they would have invested in the infrastructure to handle the rain they just got, because why would they? They’re *in a desert*.
