The catch
This covers RTA street parking. Malls and multi-storey set their own rules, holidays included. Dubai Mall, Mall of the Emirates and others bill your Salik account on the way out, no ticket, no barrier.

For the record
Every Eid and every Hijri New Year on record, public parking has been free. 4 years of Hijri New Year, 4 of Eid Al Adha. No exceptions yet.
Was this right?
The fine print
Pay the moment you stop. The patrol car keeps its own schedule, and it does not wait for you.
Friday is a working day. Parkin treats it like one.
International City and Al Khail Gate 365N charge around the clock. Sundays and holidays included.
The signboard at your spot has the final say.
