Haboob is the Arabic term for a particularly intense type of dust storm caused by the downdraft from a thunderstorm. These storms are common in the Middle East, Africa and even North America, although they usually aren't called that here.
While a dust devil is not a tornado in the strictest sense of the term, it is a type of vortex. They are not caused by thunderstorms and are therefore not a true tornado. A dust devil results when the sun heats dry land surfaces forming a twisting column of air. The storms may look like a tornado, but are not.
