Paid parking in Dubai will continue to remain free on Fridays from the new year, even after the UAE transitions into a four-and-a-half-day workweek.

This means that public parking would be a paid service on the new Saturday-Sunday weekend. The free parking on Fridays and public holidays will remain in place “until further notice”.
