Fans of the Dubai Mall, take note: In December 2023, it was announced that driving at the Dubai Mall would no longer be free and would instead be a paid service. Emaar Malls will implement a barrier-free structure in partnership with Salik. It is anticipated to be released in the second quarter of 2024, but we are keeping an eye out for any changes. How will the barrier-free pay function? Clients will be charged using auto plate recognition, and the procedure will be automated. The company’s Salik customer account will be debited for the payment in the same manner as it is done when the tolls are redeemed. Salik Company PJSC’s CEO and board member, Ibrahim Sultan Al Haddad, stated that Salik is ideally positioned to offer this smooth and easy customer experience, eliminating the need for doors or obstacles at Dubai Mall, reducing traffic and congestion for the customers. How much will you spend if you area at the Dubai Mall, then? Costs vary based on the length of your visit, according to a Salik mark at Dubai Mall. Parking will be free for the first four hours of the week ( Monday through Thursday ) and for the first six hours on weekends ( Friday through Sunday ). This will also apply to public festivals. After four days, how’s how much you will pay. Weekdays ( Monday to Thursday ): 0 to 4 hours: free4 to 5 hours: Dhs405 to 6 hours: Dhs606 to 7 hours: Dhs808 to 12 hours: Dhs10012 to 24 hours: Dhs500Over 24 hours: Dhs1, 000Weekends ( Friday to Sunday ): 0 to 6 hours: free6 to 7 hours: Dhs807 to 8 hours: Dhs1008 to 12 hours: Dhs20012 to 24 hours: Dhs500Over 24 hours: Dhs1, 000The parking fees will apply to the Grand parking, Cinema parking and Fashion parking. At the moment, Zabeel and Fountain Views are not charging for driving. Exceptions: People of dedication, public service providers ( officers, emergency, disaster response vehicles, Civil Defense, etc ) and attendant drop- offs are excluded from parking fees. Keep, keep, save…If you want to keep on your Salik and need to attend Dubai Mall, you can always get the Dubai Metro. You will need to exit at the Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall place on the Red Line before using the Metro Link Bridge, which immediately connects to the store. The walk ( trek ) is about 15- 20 minutes ( depending on the pace you walk ). Do n’t want to walk? A frequent passenger drop-off is scheduled everyday and there is an RTA feed bus that will get passengers directly to the mall. @rta_dubai
