SHARJAH // Paid parking spaces will be free during the Eid Al Fitr holidays in Sharjah.
The free parking will start from Saturday July 2 and run through to Friday July 8, Sharjah Municipality announced on Wednesday.
Atif Abdullah Al Zarouni, director of the Public Parking Department at the municipality, said the week-long free parking will ease the burden on residents during the holidays.
He urged motorists to park their cars correctly and said that inspection teams would be deployed to monitor and fine offending motorists.
The municipality also said it has carried out maintenance to public parks to accommodate visitors during the holidays.
Public parks across the emirate will be open from 8am to 1pm, and from 4pm to 10pm, excluding Sharjah National Park and Rolla Park, which will both be open to the public from 10am until midnight.

The most expensive investment mistake you will ever make
When is the best time to start saving in a pension? The answer is simple – at the earliest possible moment. The first pound, euro, dollar or dirham you invest is the most valuable, as it has so much longer to grow in value. If you start in your twenties, it could be invested for 40 years or more, which means you have decades for compound interest to work its magic.
“You get growth upon growth upon growth, followed by more growth. The earlier you start the process, the more it will all roll up,” says Chris Davies, chartered financial planner at The Fry Group in Dubai.
This table shows how much you would have in your pension at age 65, depending on when you start and how much you pay in (it assumes your investments grow 7 per cent a year after charges and you have no other savings).
