There’ll be no charges for using the public parking bays between Saturday, August 10, and Tuesday, August 13 in the two emirates.

All meters will be reactivated on Wednesday, August 14.

Meanwhile public transport services will operate later than usual, with both lines on Dubai Metro running until 2 am.
