The UAE has announced new fuel prices for May 2026, leading to higher costs for drivers in Dubai and across the country. Filling a full tank of petrol will cost between AED 13.77 and AED 20.72 more than in April, depending on the type of vehicle.
This increase follows a sharp rise in oil prices worldwide due to ongoing regional conflicts, which pushed global oil prices up by nearly 60 percent. In April alone, petrol prices in the UAE rose by almost one-third compared to previous months.
The recent price hike has affected diesel rates as well, impacting many drivers and commercial transport users in the region. Experts say that these higher fuel costs may affect daily commuting and transportation expenses across Dubai and the UAE.
The government continues to monitor the situation closely, keeping in mind the global oil market conditions and regional developments. With fuel prices rising, residents and businesses in Dubai are urged to plan accordingly.
