Earlier this year, paid parking was implemented by the Sharjah Municipality in Al Dhaid City. From January 1, 2025, parking fees came into effect from Saturday to Thursday, between 8am and 10pm.

However, parking is free on Fridays, except in certain areas where fees are applied throughout the week, including weekends and official holidays.

In Dubai, paid public parking is mainly divided into four different zones: A, B, C, D – of which premium areas have become AP, BP, CP, and DP.
