A haboob can typically last anywhere from several minutes to a few hours. The duration can vary depending on the size and intensity of the dust storm and the weather conditions that generated it.

A haboob is a type of intense dust storm commonly experienced in arid regions, typically caused by downdrafts from thunderstorms. It is not a tornado, as haboobs are formed by different meteorological processes and do not exhibit the rotating column of air characteristic of tornadoes.
Haboob means, "forceful wind" in Arabic. If you are caught in a Haboob, you are caught in a forceful wind. The forceful wind is usually associated with dust, dirt, or sand. Forceful winds with dust, dirt, or sand are considered sand storms, so a Haboob is usually a sand storm.
When a haboob approaches the ocean, beachgoers should seek shelter immediately to avoid being caught in the strong winds and blowing sand. It is important to stay indoors or in a sturdy structure until the haboob passes to ensure safety.

Yes, haboob wind can be predicted to some extent using weather forecasting models that analyze wind patterns, atmospheric conditions, and the presence of dust particles. However, the exact timing and intensity of a haboob event can be challenging to predict accurately due to the unpredictable nature of dust storms.
You could stay indoors to protect yourself.
