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.

Congregation flees after arsonist sets fire to an Australian synagogue door
MELBOURNE, Australia — An arsonist set fire to the door of a Melbourne synagogue and forced the congregation to flee on Friday, seven months after criminals destroyed a synagogue in the same Australian city with an accelerant-fueled blaze that left a worshipper injured. A man doused the double front doors of the downtown East Melbourne Hebrew Congregation and set it alight around 8 p.m., a police statement said on Saturday. Around 20 worshippers sharing a meal to mark the Shabbat Jewish day of rest evacuated through a rear door and no one was injured, police said.
