A daughter expressed her gratitude on Instagram to IKEA UAE for their assistance during the Dubai flood. The store not only provided shelter to her elderly parents but also treated them to food.
I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to IKEA UAE for their kindness and generosity on the 16th of April 2024. My parents were stranded in Dubai due to the heavy rain and floods, with the roads closed. Luckily, they decided to have dinner at IKEA since they were nearby.
The store arranged a bed and a place to sleep for my parents, along with providing toiletries, snacks, pillows, and a complimentary breakfast. Additionally, she shared a video showing her parents inside the store.
The video, which was uploaded just a day ago, has garnered an impressive 120,000 views. Additionally, it has received nearly 3,900 likes. The comments section is filled with diverse reactions from viewers.

Earlier this week, Dubai and other parts of the United Arab Emirates experienced record-breaking rainfall, marking the heaviest precipitation the desert nation has seen in the past 75 years.
The impact was significant: the runway at Dubai International Airport was submerged, leading to flight cancellations and delays, and even the city’s malls were inundated.
