Haboobs only last for about two to three hours. Haboobs are the sandstorms with a wall of sand. Shamals are the sandstorms that kick up for days at a time. Hope that helps!

Are sandstorms preventable?
Sandstorms cannot be prevented. They are the result of the (very) large scale movement of air. It would be like trying to prevent a hurricane, though the hurricane is, in general, a much larger mass of moving air. Quote from website below: "Sandstorms are largely caused by drought, land desertification, irrational utilization of forested land, and overgrazing." So, therefore, sandstorms can be prevented, in the long run, if we prevent these things that cause sandstorms. See link for more information.
