Dubai Mall parking is now no longer free.
Starting Monday, July 1, 2024, the new paid parking system is officially in place.
Announced in December 2023, Dubai Mall has partnered with toll gate provider Salik to introduce charges for parking spaces.
The toll gate company’s technology is facilitating a barrier-free parking experience for mall customers.
This includes automatic fee collection for ticketless parking, utilizing vehicle plate recognition to deduct fees directly from Salik user accounts.
Additionally, details on Dubai Mall parking fees have now been disclosed.
