Dubai Metro extends operating hours and offers free parking windows for Ramadan 2026
RTA will run Dubai Metro trains until midnight most nights and 01:00 on Fridays throughout Ramadan 2026, while introducing two-shift paid parking and off-peak Salik discounts. The changes give commuters and business travellers more flexibility for evening prayers, client events and late shifts, and are expected to divert thousands of car journeys to public transport. Companies should adjust travel guidance and remind staff of the temporary toll-free windows.
Two-shift paid parking and Salik discounts confirmed city-wide in Dubai for holy month
Dubai will suspend street-parking fees for two hours at Iftar and cut Salik tolls outside peak business hours, including a complete overnight waiver, to ease Ramadan traffic. The move lowers mobility costs for employers running night shifts and encourages drivers to shift journeys away from congestion peaks.
