Paid parking at Dubai mosques from August except for prayer time
Parking will be no longer be free near Dubai's mosques, starting in August. Parkin, the emirate's public parking operator, will manage about 2,100 parking spaces across 59 sites at Dubai's mosques, it was announced on Thursday. One hour of parking during prayer time will be free of charge, Dubai Media Office reported. 'Operational rollout is targeted to commence in August 2025,' the media office said on X. In April, Parkin's variable fees came into effect across Dubai. Peak pricing applies for six of the 14 chargeable hours each day, from 8am to 10am and from 4pm to 8pm. Unlike the new zone, Sundays and public holidays are often exempt from charges. Tariffs during the off-peak hours of 10am to 4pm and from 8pm to 10pm remain unchanged. Parking will continue to be free from 10pm to 8am. Public parking in Dubai is mostly divided into four zones: A, B, C and D. What is Parkin? The company, set up in January 2024 to manage the emirate's parking infrastructure, has asked drivers to check updated zone codes when parking or to refer to the Parkin website and app. Parkin manages more than 200,000 paid parking spaces across Dubai, including public parking and multistorey car parks, as well as some privately owned spaces under long-term contracts. The company's other revenue streams include enforcement and issuance of seasonal permits and parking reservations. Its revenue jumped by nearly a third in February because of an increase in the number of fines issued in the final three months of 2024.

Dubai to Launch 24/7 Paid Parking Around Mosques This August
Starting this August, Parkin will roll out 24-hour paid parking zones around 59 mosques across Dubai. But don't worry— it's still free for an hour during prayer time. New Zones, New Rates The parking spaces will fall under two categories: Zone M (Standard): Dh2 for 30 mins, Dh4 for an hour Zone MP (Premium): Off-peak: Dh2 for 30 mins, Dh4 for an hour Peak: Dh3 for 30 mins, Dh6 for an hour There will be 2,100 new paid parking spots in total— 41 sites under Zone M, and 18 sites under Zone MP. Worshippers Get a Break If you're heading to the mosque to pray, you can park free for up to one hour during prayer times. Outside those times, regular charges apply all day, every day. Why It's Happening The move is part of a new deal between Parkin and Dubai's Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities Department (IACAD) to better manage parking near mosques and reduce misuse by non-visitors hogging the spots.
