Dubai - How To Guides: Reserving Parking

Finding a place to park on the streets in Dubai can be a little daunting when you first arrive. Side street parking is permitted but paying an hourly fee is required. When you park you need to find the nearest orange parking sign indicating the parking zone. Fees are charged by the hour and require a payment in dirham coins. In addition, The Dubai Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has introduced the mparking system which allows Dubai residents and visitors from other Emirates to pay for public parking fees via SMS from their Etisalat or du mobile phones.
