Eid Al Fitr 2024: Free Parking Announced For Eid Holidays in UAE

• Parking in Dubai will be free for six days during Eid al-Fitr, from the 29th of Ramadan to the 3rd of Shawaal.
• The RTA announced that vehicle testing centers will be open on Ramadan 29 and Shawwal 3.
• Dubai Metro will operate from 5 a.m. to 1 a.m. on most days during April 6–14.

Parking in Dubai will be free for at least six days during the Eid al-Fitr holidays, as announced by the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) on Friday. The waiver of parking fees will be in effect from the 29th of Ramadan to the 3rd of Shawaal in the Islamic calendar.

From Monday, April 8, to April 12, there will be no parking charges if Eid al-Fitr falls on April 10. Since parking is already free on Sundays in Dubai, drivers can enjoy six consecutive days of complimentary parking across the Emirates.

If Eid al-Fitr happens on April 9, free parking will be available for only five days, starting on April 8 and ending on April 12. Paid parking will resume on the 4th of Shawaal, which is the fourth day of Eid.
