Dubai: There will be no more free parking at Bur Juman as the mall on Sunday imposed parking charges on an hourly basis.

It will now cost Dh20 per hour from 6am to 6pm, but shoppers spending Dh 100 or more in the mall will be entitled to free parking.

Between the hours of 12.30pm to 2.30pm, and from 6pm onwards, parking will be free of charge, as well as Fridays and public holidays.

This, according Bur Juman management has been done to address the concerns raised by shoppers seeking parking spaces in its retail complex.

"We made this proactive move after receiving feedback from shoppers who faced difficulties finding parking spaces and believe that for genuine BurJuman shoppers, the paid parking scheme will address the issue," said Eisa Adam Ibrahim, General Manager of BurJuman.

Upon entering the parking area at BurJuman, a grace period of 15 minutes for pick up and drop is applicable, and customers will be given a grace period of half-an-hour to leave the parking lot after ticket validation.

Payment machines will be available at all parking lobbies. The currency notes that accepted by machines will include Dh 5, 10, 100, and 1 dirham coins. Lost tickets will be charged at full day fee.
