Authorities will conduct an evacuation drill at Dubai Opera tomorrow, Thursday 27 October. The drill will take place between 9am and 11am, according to a notice posted by the Dubai Civil Defense Authority.
Authorities are advising residents and bystanders not to photograph the movement and to stay away.
Fire drills and evacuation drills are conducted regularly throughout the emirate to assess emergency response readiness and capability.
