Dubai has introduced a 24-hour paid parking system around mosques, effective from August 2025. This new parking scheme will charge motorists at all times except during designated prayer periods, when parking will be free of charge.
Key Features of the New Parking System
- The initiative is a collaboration between Parkin and the Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities Department (IACAD).
- Approximately 2,100 parking spaces across 59 locations near mosques in Dubai will be managed under this system.
- The system aims to improve parking availability and reduce congestion in busy areas near places of worship.
- Clear instructions will be provided for motorists to distinguish between paid parking times and free parking during prayer times.
Benefits and Objectives
This parking system is intended to:
- Encourage better utilization of parking spaces.
- Reduce traffic congestion around mosques.
- Ensure a smooth parking experience while respecting prayer schedules.
- Promote discipline and order in high-demand locations.
