Dubai: Dh25/hour parking fee at event venues goes live

Dubai: The new variable parking tariff rate of Dh25 an hour at event venues in Dubai has gone live today, Parkin, the parking operator in Dubai, has notified the public.

The rate will be applicable during event hours.

“We recommend public transport, if you’re heading to an event zone.” it said.

The affected areas around Dubai World Trade Centre, identified as the ‘Grand Event Zone’ in Dubai, have been divided into zones with codes 335X, 336X and 337X, Parkin said, adding that the zones are clearly marked with information about the tariffs.

The variable parking tariff system has been introduced to ensure smoother traffic flow around major event venues that witness high traffic.
