The Department of Municipalities and Transport (DMT) confirmed that Mawaqif parking and Darb toll gates in Abu Dhabi will be completely free for the day. Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) also announced free public parking across the city, except for multi-level parking and Al Khail Gate (N.365).

When Do Charges Resume?

Don’t get too comfy—normal parking and toll fees will be back on Saturday, September 6.

Here’s the Usual Parking Situation

  • Abu Dhabi Premium (white/turquoise): Dh3 per hour, max 4 hours

  • Abu Dhabi Standard (black/turquoise): Dh2 per hour or Dh15 full day

  • Darb Toll Gate: Dh4 per crossing during peak hours (7–9am, 3–7pm)

But remember, parking is already free every Sunday and during official public holidays in the capital. People of Determination also enjoy year-round exemptions.
