UAE's upcoming fines and fees in 2025: Everything you need to know
From stricter Emiratisation penalties to new nutrition grading rules: wave of updated fines and regulations in 2025/Representative Image TL;DR: Stricter Emiratisation fines for private firms came into force in July 2025. New nutrition labelling rules on packaged food products. Salik (toll) system expansion in Dubai, with new gates operational since June 2025. Expected changes to parking fees and privacy regulations to be announced later in 2025. As UAE progresses with Vision 2030 initiatives, a series of new fines, fees, and regulatory changes are taking effect in 2025 directly impacting expats and businesses in the emirate. From enhanced Emiratisation penalties to updated food safety regulations, the UAE continues to recalibrate its legal landscape to align with social, economic, and sustainability goals. June to December 2025 is seeing multiple policy rollouts that residents and expats alike need to monitor closely, particularly with financial penalties for non-compliance now significantly higher than before. Higher Emiratisation Fines for Private Companies (July 2025) Effective July 2025, the UAE Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE) has increased fines for private sector firms that fail to meet Emiratisation targets. Companies with 50 or more employees must ensure that at least 4% of their workforce comprises UAE nationals by the end of 2025. Non-compliance fines: AED 96,000 per unfulfilled Emirati hire, up from AED 84,000 in 2024. MoHRE confirmed the new penalty structure in its June 2025 circular. The government continues to incentivise firms to comply through the Nafis programme, providing salary support and training for Emirati employees. Nutrition grading system From June 1, mandatory nutrition grades must be placed on food items as part of a new labelling system launched by quality control and health officials in Abu Dhabi. Products found on supermarket shelves without Nutri-Mark, which grades the nutritional content of a food item, will be withdrawn and concerned parties will be fined. This will also apply to items that are displaying a higher grading than they should. Nutri-Mark grades the nutritious value of a certain item from A to E, with A being the most healthy. The first phase of the new scheme applies to baked goods, oils, dairy, children's food and beverages. Salik Toll System Expansion : New Gates Operational Since June 2025 Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) launched two new Salik gates in June 2025 to manage traffic congestion: Business Bay Crossing Al Khail Road near Dubai Hills Each crossing deducts AED 4 per pass, similar to existing Salik gates. The RTA states that the expansion is designed to alleviate congestion on alternative routes and enhance traffic flow into the city's core commercial districts. Potential Parking Fee Reforms: Expected Q4 2025 Dubai's Integrated Transport Centre (ITC) is currently reviewing city-wide parking fee structures, with adjustments expected by the end of 2025. The changes may include: Dynamic pricing based on demand zones Extended paid parking hours in high-traffic areas Adjustments to seasonal parking permits UAE's Privacy Law Enhancements: Rollout by December 2025 The UAE's updated Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL) is set for full implementation by December 2025, impacting how private companies collect, store, and use customer data. Key provisions include: Mandatory data protection officers for firms handling sensitive data Enhanced opt-out rights for users Strict breach reporting timelines (72 hours) Penalties for non-compliance can reach up to AED 1 million, as stipulated by the UAE Data Office in its May 2025 compliance guidelines. Verdict Dubai's evolving regulatory landscape in 2025 reflects its broader socio-economic strategies under Vision 2030. Expats and businesses alike must stay informed on these key changes: Higher Emiratisation fines already in place Nutrition grading system New Salik gates operational Upcoming parking reforms in Q4 Stricter data privacy enforcement by year-end By staying compliant, residents and companies can avoid steep penalties while contributing to UAE's vision of a more sustainable, health-conscious, and digitized society.

Heading to the Global Encounters Festival 2025 in Dubai? Here's what you should know
Young performers bring energy and culture to the Global Encounters Festival 2025 in Dubai/ Image: TL;DR The Global Encounters Festival runs July 20-27, 2025, with over 4,000 young artists and athletes from 50+ countries. Respect Dubai's customs: dress modestly, mind public behavior rules, and be careful about what you share online. Getting around is simple with the Dubai Metro, taxis, and ride-share apps like Careem and Uber. If you're traveling to Dubai this summer, the Global Encounters Festival (GE Festival) is a big deal. From July 20 to 27, the city will come alive with creativity and energy as over 4,000 young Ismaili Muslim artists and athletes from more than 50 countries gather in one place. This isn't just another festival, it's a celebration of talent, culture, and community on a global scale. You'll see thrilling sports competitions, stunning performances, inspiring masterclasses, and vibrant concerts. There's a strong focus on youth, creativity, and social involvement. This event reflects the UAE's growing role as a hub for cultural exchange and innovation. And with support from major UAE institutions like the Ministry of Culture and Dubai Sports Council, it's clear the city wants this Festival to be special. Expect the atmosphere to be electric, especially during the opening and closing ceremonies. You'll also get a chance to explore exhibitions that showcase the work of the Aga Khan Development Network, giving you a window into meaningful global projects. Beyond the fun, the Festival aims to make a difference. For example, there's a big push on sustainability, including a plan to plant one million trees through the Roots for Change campaign. It's about culture, community, and caring for the planet. Before You Go: What to Pack and Prepare Heading to Dubai for the Festival means planning ahead. Here's a quick checklist to make sure you're ready: Passport and visa: Double-check what your country needs and apply early. Travel and health insurance: Never travel without it, accidents or illness can happen anywhere. Festival confirmations and hotel bookings: Keep your tickets and hotel info on your phone and in print. Money: Credit cards work everywhere, but carry some cash for small purchases. Medicines: Bring any prescriptions, plus things like an EpiPen if you need it. Snacks and electrolytes: July is hot in Dubai, so pack some snacks and electrolyte drinks to stay energized and hydrated. Sun protection: Sunscreen, hats, sunglasses, you'll need them. How to Dress and Act: Respect Dubai's Culture Dubai is a modern city but still deeply respects its cultural traditions. Here's how to fit in smoothly: Dress modestly and cover shoulders and knees in malls, markets, and public places, especially near mosques. Swimwear is fine at beaches and pools but not appropriate in shopping malls or business districts. Men and women can wear shorts, but keep them below the knee indoors. Public displays of affection is frowned upon. Holding hands is okay for married couples. A handshake is common, but if it's between a man and a woman, wait for the woman to offer her hand first. Use your right hand for giving and receiving items; the left hand is considered impolite. Especially of women, children, or anyone in religious clothing. And avoid snapping photos in government buildings or security areas. Dos and Don'ts: Stay Out of Trouble Here are some simple tips to keep your visit trouble-free: Dos: Use the Dubai Metro or taxis to get around, both are easy and safe. Behave politely and respectfully in public spaces. Share your Festival experience on social media, but think twice before posting sensitive content. Don't: Don't drink alcohol in public or get drunk outside licensed venues, public intoxication is illegal. Avoid using offensive language or rude gestures. The laws here are strict and penalties serious. Never bring or use illegal drugs. The UAE has zero tolerance, and penalties are harsh. Don't litter or damage property. Dubai is very clean, and fines for littering or vandalism are steep. Don't criticize the government or leaders publicly or online. This can cause legal trouble. Getting Around Dubai: What to Expect Dubai has one of the best transport systems in the region: Dubai Metro: Clean, safe, and efficient. It runs from early morning till late evening, with stations near the airport, the Dubai World Trade Centre (a Festival venue), and other key spots. Taxis: You can find taxis everywhere, hail one on the street, or book in advance. Ladies-only taxis and accessible vehicles are available too. Ride-share apps: Uber and Careem work throughout the city. Download the apps before you arrive for quick booking. The Festival's Green Side: Planting for the Future This isn't just a cultural festival, it's also about making a positive impact. The organizers want to reduce the Festival's environmental footprint by encouraging low-emission travel and sustainable choices. The Roots for Change campaign is a standout project. Festival visitors, artists, and volunteers will help plant one million trees worldwide. It's a simple way to connect with nature and give back while enjoying all the excitement. FAQ Q1: Do I need a visa for Dubai? It depends on your nationality. Some countries get a visa on arrival, others must apply ahead. Check UAE government websites early. Q2: What's the weather like during the Festival? Expect very hot weather in July, with daytime temps often above 40°C (104°F). Dress light, drink water, and avoid the midday sun. Q3: What's the best way to get around the city? The Dubai Metro is safe, fast, and affordable. Taxis are widely available and reliable. You can also use ride-hailing apps like Careem or Uber. Download these apps before you travel.

Gig workers postpone auto, cab strike after commuters' harrowing experience
Pune: The Indian Gig Workers' Front on Saturday evening suspended the ongoing strike of cabs and autorickshaws operating on applications till Tuesday, after leaving many commuters, including those arriving at the airport on Saturday morning, hassled. Keshav Kshirsagar, the president of the front, said, "We have a meeting on Tuesday with senior officials of the state transport department. If its decisions don't meet our expectations, the strike will resume." Several commuters had a harrowing experience on roads on Friday and in the early hours of Saturday. Cabs and autos were hard to come by. The fortunate ones getting vehicles had to fork out double the average fare. Worse, a few got a taste of unruly drivers' misbehaviour. You Can Also Check: Pune AQI | Weather in Pune | Bank Holidays in Pune | Public Holidays in Pune Pratik Chhoriyaan, an IT professional, landed in Pune in the early hours of Saturday. "People were stranded at Aeromall's first and second floor outside the Pune airport because of the strike. Some auto and cab drivers on duty demanded over Rs1,000 for an 8km distance." Aviral Bhatnagar, an investor, wrote on X, "Pune's having Ola/Uber/Rapido cab drivers' strike to raise prices. What earlier cost Rs350 now costs Rs700. One asked me to pay Rs1,000 instead of Rs300. In the quest for maximising profits, cab drivers are killing the golden goose of cab aggregators." Dinesh Tiwari, a resident of Wanowrie, struggled to find a cab to go to his office. "My car went for servicing two days ago, and it has been a big challenge finding a cab or an auto. I have been paying Rs300-400 to travel a short distance of 7km." Anvesh Kulkarni, a resident of Hadapsar, tried to book a cab multiple times on Saturday morning but failed. "I had to take my family to Koregaon Park for a function. We tried booking autorickshaws and cabs for an hour, but failed. Finally, I called up an autorickshaw driver known to us. He dropped us for Rs450," he said. Dilip Sonawane, a cab driver on these aggregators since 2015, said, "We are demanding the updated fares the RTO has allowed us to charge. Since the same fares are not showing up on the app, customers do not want to pay the revised amount. Most customers say they will pay the new rates if these reflect on the app. Ola, Uber and Rapido are refusing to update the rates. This is causing major confusion among commuters." Prakash Rajguru, the president of LV Antaral Autorickshaw Sanghatana, who operates prepaid autorickshaws from the Pune airport, said their business revived in the past two days after months of stalemate. "The strike left flyers with no option but to come to us. We have done brisk business. Each of us made multiple trips. We charged fares as per the RTA-approved pre-paid rates. Flyers with more luggage hired two or even three autorickshaws because they didn't have a choice," Rajguru said. Another prepaid auto driver talked about an incident in the early morning hours. "A passenger negotiating with an auto driver was stunned because he was asked for a fare of Rs2,000 for going to Hinjewadi-phase-1. When I saw him moving towards the AeroMall, I requested him to book a ride with us from the counter. He did that. We gave him a receipt of Rs525, and a colleague of mine took him to his destination," he said.
