Dubai Residents Rejoice as Free Parking Extends Through Eid Al Fitr Holidays

According to the RTA's announcement, the free parking period commences on Sunday, April 7, corresponding with Ramadan 29. This means motorists can enjoy extended days of no-pay parking

Dubai, UAE – As the crescent moon marks the end of Ramadan, anticipation fills the air as Dubai residents prepare to celebrate Eid Al Fitr. Adding to the festive spirit, the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has announced a welcome relief for motorists across the city: free parking.

In a statement released before the Eid Al Fitr holidays, the RTA declared that all public parking in Dubai, except multi-level parking terminals, will be free of charge from Ramadan 29 until Shawwal 3. This generous gesture from the authority aims to alleviate the financial burden on residents during the celebratory period.

According to the RTA’s announcement, the free parking period commences on Sunday, April 7, corresponding with Ramadan 29. This means motorists can enjoy extended days of no-pay parking, allowing them to navigate the city’s bustling streets without worrying about parking fees.

Should the crescent moon be sighted on Monday, April 8, marking the end of Ramadan, the first day of Eid Al Fitr will fall on Tuesday, April 9. In this scenario, free parking will continue until Shawwal 3, April 11, providing motorists with ample time to celebrate the joyous occasion with their loved ones.

However, if the moon remains elusive and Ramadan lasts for 30 days, Eid Al Fitr will be observed on April 10. Consequently, free parking will be extended until April 12, encompassing six days of parking relief for residents. Tariffs are set to resume on Saturday, April 13, as the city returns to its regular parking regulations.

This announcement comes as a boon for Dubai’s residents, who can now focus on celebrating Eid Al Fitr without the added stress of parking fees.

With festivities set to unfold across the city, including family gatherings, feasting, and communal prayers, the RTA’s decision to provide free parking reflects the spirit of generosity and camaraderie that defines the holy month of Ramadan and the subsequent Eid celebrations.

The RTA’s initiative also aligns with Dubai’s commitment to enhancing the overall experience of its residents and visitors, ensuring convenience and accessibility during significant occasions.

By offering free parking during Eid Al Fitr, the authority not only facilitates smoother mobility within the city but also fosters a sense of unity and solidarity among its diverse populace.

As Dubai gears up to welcome Eid Al Fitr, residents express their gratitude for the RTA’s thoughtful gesture, which enhances the festive atmosphere and reinforces the spirit of generosity and compassion that characterizes the holy month.

Free parking paves the way for seamless travel and joyful celebrations. Dubai residents eagerly anticipate the arrival of Eid Al Fitr, ready to embrace the blessings and festivities that accompany this auspicious occasion.
