Salik rates during Ramadan

Salik noted there is no change to the charges method when passing through Al Safa North and Al Safa South toll gates, as well as Al Mamzar North and Al Mamzar South toll gates when passing the toll gates in the same direction within one hour.

Currently, Salik is charging a fixed fee of Dh4 every time a vehicle passes any of the 10 toll gates across the city.

Changes in parking fees

Meanwhile, the Variable Parking Tariff Policy is scheduled for implementation by the end of March 2025. The policy sets fees at Dh6 per hour for premium parking spaces and Dh4 per hour for other public paid parking spaces during morning peak hours (8am to 10am) and evening peak hours (4pm to 8pm). The tariffs will remain unchanged during off-peak hours, from 10am to 4pm, and from 8 pm to 10pm. Parking will be free at night, from 10pm to 8am, and all day on Sundays.

The Congestion Pricing Policy for event areas introduces a fee of Dh25 per hour for public paid parking spaces near event zones. This policy will be rolled out initially around the Dubai World Trade Centre during major events starting February 2025, according to Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA).
