Unexpected DU in Dubai (For EK pilots)

Hi,

I just landed in Dubai. (From a foreign airline). On descent into DXB, I was told to hold for 40mins due to DU. I'd like to enquire from local knowledge, is it normal in this case for a long holding even though DXB has 2 runways with CAT III approaches?

Case in point: Heard an EK aircraft commenting they were able to hold for 1hr. TAF from dispatch did not show TEMPO period with DU.

Thanks In advance.
