Parking in Dubai: Your Complete Guide to Permits, Paid Zones, and Mall Rules




Whether you’re a seasoned motorist or a newcomer to Dubai’s roads, parking is something every driver must understand. The city offers a variety of parking options, from public lots to mall garages, but rules and charges differ by location. Here’s a concise yet complete guide to help you navigate parking in Dubai without fines or frustration.

Public Paid Parking in Dubai

Public parking across the city is now managed by Parkin, which took over from the RTA in 2024. The system categorizes areas into four zones — A, B, C, and D — with varying tariffs. As of April 2025, spaces near transport hubs, business districts, and shopping areas fall under a peak-time rate of Dhs6 per hour, while standard areas remain at Dhs4 per hour.

Parkin also introduced new paid zones in areas like Mirdif, where charges apply from 8am to 10pm, Monday through Saturday. Additionally, Parkin manages six multi-storey car parks offering 3,200 spaces. These cost Dhs5 per hour, with a maximum of Dhs40 charged for parking more than 8 hours within a day. These fees apply 24/7.

Parking Permits in Dubai

To simplify regular parking, you can apply for a parking permit through the RTA portal. Permits are available for various needs, including people of determination, Emirati citizens, contractors, and residents in certain areas. The same portal allows you to pay any outstanding fines as well.

Mall Parking Rules

Dubai Mall now uses Salik’s plate-recognition technology, replacing barriers for a seamless entry-exit experience. Free parking is allowed for the first 4 hours on weekdays and 6 hours on weekends. After that, rates start at Dhs20, scaling up to Dhs1,000 for parking over 24 hours.
