Dubai residents can rejoice as the city gears up for the joyous celebration of Eid Al Fitr 2024. The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has announced a series of measures to ensure a smooth and convenient experience for everyone during the holidays.
Dubai Free Parking
Motorists can celebrate with a lighter wallet! Public parking across Dubai, except for multi-level parking terminals, will be free of charge from Ramadan 29th (which falls on April 8th, Monday) until Shawwal 3rd. This translates to at least five days of free parking, and potentially six days if the crescent moon isn’t sighted on Monday. Paid parking will resume on Shawwal 4th (which could be Friday, April 12th or Saturday, April 13th).
Extended Dubai Metro and Tram Timings
To ensure your seamless and convenient journey on board the #DubaiMetro, #RTA extends the Metro operating hours until 1:00 AM starting from Saturday, April 6, until Saturday, April 13, in celebration of Eid Al-Fitr. Wishing you a blessed #Eid!
