Dubai residents felt an earthquake tremor at 11.21am today.
Many felt the earthquake at offices in Dubai Marina and Dubai Media City, while residents have told Connector that they have felt it in the Greens and Dubai Harbour.
Residents took to Twitter to share their thoughts on feeling the earthquake.
However, the cause for the earthquake-like experience was due to the demolition of the Dubai Pearl, which caused a similar effect.
Dubai Pearl was set to be a luxury property development comprising of residences, hotels and entertainment facilities. Announced in 2002, the project is currently being taken down after being put on hold for years.
