Public paid parking hours across the UAE have changed for the month of Ramadan. While some emirates have introduced free parking slots, others have extended the paid parking hours.
In addition to parking changes, other areas like toll booth timings, employee working hours, remote learning for students, and park operating hours have also been affected.
