As the UAE prepares to celebrate its 54th National Day on December 2, 2025, authorities in major emirates have announced free public parking to ease travel during the holiday weekend. This measure applies across Dubai and Abu Dhabi, allowing drivers to park without fees in designated areas.
This includes all surface-level public parking spaces, though multi-storey car parks remain chargeable. The initiative supports the extended holiday period, which runs from November 30 to December 3.
These arrangements aim to reduce congestion and encourage safe celebrations. Drivers should check official apps or websites for any zone-specific updates before heading out.
