If you want to go shopping at Dubai Mall, you might have to check how much you’ll be paying for parking.
Starting July 1, Dubai Mall will have new rates for its paid parking and billing system, which is operated by Salik, a toll operator in Dubai by the Road and Transportation Authority (RTA).
The new parking system applies to Cinema Parking, Grand Parking, and Fashion Parking. Meanwhile, Zabeel and Fountain Views parking will remain free.
Visitors and motorists can also enjoy free parking for the first four hours on weekdays and the first six hours on weekends.

Below are the parking rates on weekends:

In December 2023, Dubai Mall announced that it would be ending its free parking era and working with Salik to collect parking fees automatically. Salik will use its number plate recognition and radio frequency identification (RFID) technology to collect parking fees seamlessly and barrier-free.
