Staying in Dubai just got a little bit sweeter…

If you’re staying in Dubai for Eid Al Fitr, things just got a little bit sweeter as the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) have announced that all paid parking zones will be free to use for six days during the Eid break.

This applies to all public parking except for multi-level parking terminals. Free parking in Dubai will be activated on Sunday June 2 until Friday June 7. Paid parking will be re-activated on Saturday June 8, when the usual charging fees resume.

The RTA have also announced that metro and bus timings have been extended during the Eid holidays, too, giving you more freedom to do the things you enjoy during the holidays.
