Starting January 1, 2025, a new paid parking system will be introduced at three popular malls in Dubai, including Mall of the Emirates (MoE), it was announced on Wednesday.
Parkin Company, the emirate's primary public parking operator, partnered with developer Majid Al Futtaim (MAF) Properties to introduce 'barrierless parking' at MoE, City Centre Deira, and City Centre Mirdif.
Mall parking fees, however, will remain unchanged under the five-year contract, Parkin said in a statement.
With the Parkin's seamless parking technology, visitors will no longer have to stop and wait at barriers when entering or exiting mall parking lots.
Advanced cameras will automatically capture licence plates, tracking each vehicle’s progress and duration of stay.
As drivers enter the parking area, they will get an SMS or a Parkin app alert about the parking costs. Visitors will be able to use the app or Parkin's website to settle any charges.
The new seamless entry and exit experience is expected to ease mall access for more than 20 million cars every year across three sites. These malls have a total of 21,000 parking spaces.
“Our smart systems will reduce congestion and enable smooth traffic flow, enhancing the overall customer experience at some of the busiest and well-known retail locations in Dubai," said Mohamed Abdulla Al Ali, CEO of Parkin.
Parkin, a public joint stock company listed on the Dubai Financial Market, has been looking to expand its services to privately owned developments — including shopping malls, airports, and other high-traffic facilities — it said earlier this year.
This will not be the first barrierless parking system in the emirate. A similar system is in place for paid parking services at some areas of Dubai Mall; however, that facility is operated by Salik. This means Dubai Mall parking fees are automatically deducted from Salik user accounts.
