Can you really get a fine for having a dirty car in Abu Dhabi?
We've all been there. Your car is looking a little dusty but you just haven't got round to getting it washed. But can you actually get fined for it in Abu Dhabi? The short answer is yes, you can. In the capital, leaving your car covered in excessive dirt for too long could land you with a fine – so maybe it's time to give your wheels a wash. While a little dusting won't get you in any trouble, the Department of Municipalities and Transport (DMT) isn't playing around when it comes to keeping the city's streets looking sharp. Under Law No. 2 of 2012, vehicles that are left abandoned or excessively dirty are considered a blight on the cityscape and owners can be slapped with penalties. Here's the breakdown: Clause No. 62 – Leaving a vehicle dirty in a public place and ruining the city's pristine look? That's a Dhs500 fine for the first offence. Get caught again and it's Dhs1,000. A third violation? Dhs2,000. So, unless you fancy paying for a high-end car wash in fines, it's best to keep your ride sparkling. Clause No. 63 – If you've got a car body or frame abandoned in a public spot, that's an even bigger problem. The fines start at Dhs1,000, jump to Dhs2,000 for the second offence, and hit Dhs4,000 if you keep ignoring the warnings. Moral of the story? Whether you drive a flashy sports car or a humble hatchback, keeping it clean isn't just about aesthetics. So, grab a sponge or hit the car wash before your extra dusty ride gets you into trouble.

In a post on X, Parkin stated: 'Parkin introduces new subscriptions designed for students, educators, and multi-storey parking access, with flexible options to suit your daily needs.' Public parking in Dubai is organised and managed by Parkin, which took over responsibility from the RTA in 2024. Looking after public and private spaces around the city, Parkin has since implemented a new tariff system for parking, which divides into four zones named A, B, C and (you guessed it), D. Coming into practice in April 2025, there is also a new peak time hours fee for specific spaces that are located near transport hubs, business districts and shopping areas. With the new tariffs, these premium parking spaces have risen to Dhs6 per hour. In contrast, regular parking spaces across the city have remained priced at Dhs4 per hour.

CBUAE imposes financial sanctions of Dhs4.1 million on three exchange houses
The Central Bank of the UAE (CBUAE) imposed varying financial sanctions amounting to Dhs4,100,000 on three exchange houses, pursuant to Article (14) of the Federal Decree Law No. (20) of 2018 on Anti-Money Laundering and Combating the Financing of Terrorism and Illegal Organisations and its amendments. The financial sanction has been imposed after assessing the findings of examination conducted by the CBUAE, which revealed that the three exchange houses failed to comply with AML/CFT policies and procedures. The CBUAE, through its supervisory and regulatory mandates, endeavours to ensure that all exchange houses, their owners, and staff abide by the UAE laws, regulations and standards established by the CBUAE to maintain transparency and integrity of the financial transactions and safeguard the UAE financial system.
