Landing in sandstrorms?

Has anyone landed in a sand storm?

I often see FU in middle east airfield TAF's but have never experienced landing in such conditions?

I understand the viz can go down dramatically - below CAT1?

Are engines able to cope in such conditions?

Is it not even a 'look see' just dont make an approach scenario?
