Parking is free across most public spaces in Abu Dhabi and Dubai for the Hijri New Year holiday. In Dubai, residents can park free of charge in all public parking lots except for the Fish Market area and multi-level parking terminals, which apply a 24-hour daily tariff. Charges will be reactivated on Saturday. In Abu Dhabi, parking is free across the emirate but the Department of Transport is reminding motorists not to double park nor place their vehicles along yellow and black lines, walkways or next to fire hydrants. Mawaqif customer centres will resume work on Saturday while the DoT centre will open on Sunday.
