Dubai Parking Hours
In Dubai, the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has adjusted paid parking times to accommodate Ramadan schedules. Parking fees will be applied in two periods:
- 8 AM to 6 PM
- 8 PM to 12 AM
This means parking is free from 6 PM to 8 PM. Additionally, parking is free on Sundays. Multi-level parking buildings in Dubai will operate 24/7, so you can always find a spot.
Sharjah Parking Hours
Sharjah has extended the paid parking timings during Ramadan. Now, you’ll need to pay for parking from 8 AM until midnight, an additional two hours compared to the usual 8 AM to 10 PM schedule. As always, parking remains free on Fridays.
Ajman Parking Hours
Ajman has split the paid parking periods into two shifts, much like Dubai. From Saturday to Thursday, parking charges apply during these times:
- 9 AM to 1 PM
- 8 PM to 12 AM
The period between 1 PM and 8 PM is free of charge.
Abu Dhabi Parking Hours
In Abu Dhabi, the paid parking timings remain unchanged during Ramadan, with Mawaqif charges applying from 8 AM to 12 PM across the city. However, there are changes in toll gate operations. The Darb toll system will charge during peak hours, which are:
- 8 AM to 10 AM (morning peak)
- 2 PM to 4 PM (evening peak)
On Sundays, both parking and toll gates are free.
Additional Traffic Tips During Ramadan
As we adapt to Ramadan changes, it’s important to stay safe on the roads. Authorities have reminded drivers that traffic accidents tend to increase during the holy month, especially during the pre-Iftar hours. It’s crucial to stay cautious and drive safely, particularly in the hours leading up to Iftar.
