DUBAI: Oman authorities have rescued eight people trapped because of tropical storm Shaheen, Oman News Agency (ONA) reported on Monday.
The storm has killed three people in Oman and another six in Iran.
After exiting Oman, Shaheen, which has been downgraded from a cyclone to tropical storm, will make landfall in the UAE on Monday.
The Al-Ain region is on high alert, closing down schools as coastal areas brace for heavy rain and rough winds.
At its peak, Shaheen brought winds of speeds of up to 120 km/h along with 12m high waves.
It entered the Arabian Gulf over the weekend, hitting northern Oman and south-eastern Iran on Sunday morning.
