Last verified: 14 September 2026. MAWAQiF parking hours during Ramadan should be checked against the announcement issued for that specific year. The month of Ramadan 2026 has ended, so motorists should not treat an old Ramadan schedule as a current holiday timetable.
Standard MAWAQiF paid-parking hours
Abu Dhabi Mobility currently lists public surface-parking charges from 8:00 AM to 12:00 midnight, Monday to Saturday. Parking is free on Sundays and official public holidays unless a special announcement states otherwise.
- Standard parking: black and turquoise kerbs, AED 2 per hour or AED 15 for a full day.
- Premium parking: white and turquoise kerbs, AED 3 per hour with a four-hour maximum stay.
Check the official MAWAQiF parking-types page for the current rules.
Resident-only parking
Resident parking spaces are reserved for permit holders from 9:00 PM to 8:00 AM. Paying the public parking fee does not allow a non-permit holder to use a resident-only space during those hours.
How to confirm Ramadan timings
- Open the Abu Dhabi Mobility news page shortly before Ramadan.
- Look for the announcement for the correct Hijri and Gregorian year.
- Check MAWAQiF, Darb and public-transport schedules separately.
- Follow temporary signs and instructions at the parking location.
Important note
Holiday and Ramadan arrangements can be announced close to the date. KhaleejPage is independent; Abu Dhabi Mobility’s current notice and on-street signage take priority.
