The new variable tariff applies at spots near concerts, festivals, conferences and exhibitions across the Emirate. Affected zones codes are 335X, 336X and 337X.

The new fees are also in place in areas surrounding Dubai World Trade. Parkin confirmed, “Special event parking zones with adjusted rates will be activated to accommodate higher vehicle volumes.”
