The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) in Dubai has announced that all public parking, excluding multi-level parking terminals, will be free from Ramadan 29 until Shawwal 3, coinciding with the Eid Al Fitr holidays. This means that motorists can enjoy free parking starting from Sunday, April 7, until Thursday, April 11, if Eid falls on Tuesday, April 9. However, if Ramadan lasts for 30 days, with Eid on Wednesday, April 10, free parking will extend until Friday, April 12.
