During the joyous occasion of Eid al-Fitr, UAE residents are immersed in festivities, relishing the ample leisure time provided by the year's longest break.
To complement this celebratory atmosphere, authorities across various emirates have embraced the spirit of the occasion by offering complimentary parking on select days, facilitating ease of movement, and enhancing the overall experience for residents and visitors alike.
In the vibrant capital city of Abu Dhabi, the Integrated Transport Centre has announced a respite for motorists, declaring free public parking from Monday, April 8, through Sunday, April 14, in honor of Eid al-Fitr. This gesture aims to alleviate the usual parking concerns during this festive period, allowing individuals to navigate the city without the burden of parking fees. However, this generous offering will conclude on Monday, April 15, when regular paid parking will resume.
Likewise, in the bustling metropolis of Dubai, motorists have been granted a reprieve from parking charges since Sunday, April 7, coinciding with the customary no-pay parking day. This privilege is extended until Friday, April 12, affording a span of six consecutive days of cost-free parking. The resumption of parking tariffs is scheduled for Saturday, April 13, signaling a return to the normal routine.
In Sharjah, the Roads and Transport Authority has unveiled a similar initiative, granting complimentary parking on the first, second, and third days of Eid al-Fitr. This translates to free parking privileges on Wednesday, April 10, through Friday, April 12, offering relief to residents during the celebratory period. However, it's important to note that parking zones adorned with blue signboards will continue to enforce charges, including on Fridays and public holidays.
Meanwhile, in Ajman, residents are treated to a parking fee exemption across all parking lots from Shawwal 1 to Shawwal 3. This gracious gesture ensures free parking from Wednesday, April 10, to Friday, April 12, fostering convenience and accessibility for individuals celebrating Eid al-Fitr.
