The schedule for paid parking, toll gate implementation, and transport service in Abu Dhabi were adjusted for the duration of Ramadan, the Integrated Transport Centre (ITC) announced.
Parking fees for Mawaqif (paid parking) will be implemented from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm and again from 9:00 pm to 2:30am the following day, Saturday to Wednesday.
On Thursdays, motorists will need to pay for parking from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm and again from 9:00 pm to 12:00 am.
