Dubai Announces Free Parking on Eid Holidays

Dubai, Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has announced free parking throughout the Eid Al Fitr holidays, ensuring a hassle-free experience for residents and visitors.

From the 29th of Ramadan to the 3rd of Shawaal, parking fees will be waived, providing a minimum of six days of free parking.

This translates to no charges for parking from Monday, April 8, to April 12, if Eid Al Fitr is observed on April 10.

Additionally, as parking is already free on Sundays in Dubai, drivers can benefit from six consecutive days of complimentary parking across the Emirates.

In the event that Eid Al Fitr falls on April 9, depending on moon sightings, free parking will be applicable for five days.

Paid parking will resume on the 4th of Shawaal, the fourth day of Eid.

Alongside the parking arrangement, the RTA has released the operating hours for its services during the Eid Al Fitr holidays.

Vehicle testing centers will remain open on Ramadan 29 and the 3rd of Shawwal.
