Dubai mosque parking policy explained
As per the latest change in the mosque parking system in Dubai, Parkin has taken over 2,100 parking areas across 59 mosques. This takeover has been done with the association of IACAD.
With that said, the company is providing free parking for one hour to the worshippers during the prayer hours.
However, visitors visiting during the non-prayer hours will have to pay for the parking. This includes the late-night hours as well.
The parking will be distinguished in two zones: M (standard) and MP (premium). Both zones will be charged throughout the day and night, apart from the five prayers: Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha.
Benefits of the free Dubai mosque parking
