Motorists in Abu Dhabi and Abu Dhabi will get free parking for six days in celebration of Eid Al Adha.

The Department of Transport (DoT) in Abu Dhabi announced on August 15 that they will be waiving parking fees from Sunday, August 19 until the reactivation of the tariffs on Saturday, August 25 at 7:59 AM.

DoT also said that even though parking across the Capital will be free of charge, they still urged motorists to follow rules and regulations when it comes to their vehicles.

They called upon drivers to not leave their cars in prohibited areas and not to interrupt traffic flow during the mentioned days.

DoT also encouraged the public to follow the regulations on resident permit parking bays from 9:00 PM to 8:00 AM.
