Dubai announces new paid parking zones in Al Jaddaf: Tariffs and timings explained

Dubai: Parkin, Dubai’s public parking operator, has announced the introduction of new paid parking areas in Al Jaddaf, in line with the emirate’s peak and off-peak tariff system aimed at improving parking availability and traffic flow.

Revealed on August 31, the new designations include Zone 326C (on-street) and Zone 326D (off-street). Hourly charges will vary depending on peak and non-peak timings.

The move is part of Dubai’s broader efforts to streamline parking management across busy neighbourhoods and provide more convenient options for motorists.

Clear signboards have been installed to indicate the designated areas, the operator Parkin said on its social media handle.

Tariff 326D (Mon–Sat, 8am–10pm): Dh4 per hour in peak hours and Dh2 in non-peak, up to Dh20 for 24-hour parking.

• Tariff 326C (Mon–Sat, 8am–10pm): Dh4 per hour in peak hours and Dh2 in non-peak, up to Dh16 for four hours.

Parking will continue to be free on Sundays and public holidays, giving residents and visitors added flexibility.
