Dubai residents faced major delays and disruptions on Tuesday due to a widespread internet outage caused by a technical issue with Cloudflare, a key web infrastructure company. Thousands of users reported that popular websites, including ChatGPT and X, failed to load, sparking panic across the UAE.
The outage also had an impact on live events. For example, at the World Masters Jiu Jitsu Championship in Abu Dhabi, some matches were delayed by several hours as online services struggled to function properly. Many attendees experienced wait times of up to three hours because of these disruptions.
Cloudflare responded promptly by implementing a fix and continues to monitor the situation closely to prevent further issues. The company has assured users that it is actively working to stabilize internet services.
This event highlights the heavy reliance on internet infrastructure in the UAE, where digital connectivity is crucial not only for daily life but also for significant events.
