Motorists will benefit from free public parking in Dubai next week in celebration of the UAE's 54th National Day.
Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority said charges would be waived across public parking areas – excluding multi-storey car parks and the Al Khail Gate (N-365) paid parking zone – on both Monday and Tuesday, December 1 and 2.
Standard parking fees will be reinstated on Wednesday, December 3, the authority confirmed.
Many UAE workers are poised to begin a long weekend to mark National Day, also referred to as Eid Al Etihad.
Both public and private sector employees will be granted leave on Monday and Tuesday, making for an extended break for those not working over the weekend.
