Very poor if any water drainage. Cities like it hardly ever have rain so they don’t invest in drainage. 

The same was (is?) in Jeddah, Saudi back when I lived there some 30+ years ago. It rained maybe 3-4 days a year, so it didn’t justify spending so much in drainage. But when it did rain it flooded like crazy. I think they finally invested In some proper drainage now. 

This is somewhat similar to say London (England) and snow, where the slightest spec of snow would grind the whole city to a halt. Same reasons, it hardly snows there nowadays hence no justification to invest so much money on that.
