🕌 Mawaqif Parking in Abu Dhabi: Ramadan 2026 Guide

Ramadan brings changes to daily routines — and this includes how parking works in Abu Dhabi. If you drive around the city during the holy month, here’s what you need to know about Mawaqif (paid parking) timings so you avoid fines and plan your outings with ease.

⏰ Ramadan 2026 Mawaqif Timings

During Ramadan (expected to begin around 19 Feb 2026), Abu Dhabi’s Mawaqif system runs on revised hours to reflect the city’s slower daytime pace and busy evenings:

📍 Monday to Saturday

🅿️ Paid parking:
• 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM — standard and premium parking zones are chargeable.
• 9:00 PM – 2:00 AM — paid parking resumes in the evening.

🆓 Free parking:
• 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM — a free window around Iftar (breaking fast) so you can visit mosques, shops, restaurants, and gatherings without worrying about fees.

💡 Sunday: Parking is free all day, as per usual Abu Dhabi regulations.

🚗 Costs: Standard Mawaqif spaces are usually AED 2/hour and premium spaces around AED 3/hour — rates that typically remain the same during Ramadanhttp://www.honestrentacar.ae
