Residents planning their travel during the holy month can expect adjusted schedules across public transport, parking and service centres, as Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) rolls out new Ramadan timings.
The authority confirmed that revised working hours will apply to customer happiness centres, paid parking zones, Metro and Tram services, marine transport, and vehicle testing facilities. The move is designed to align with altered commuting patterns and working hours during the fasting month.
Customer Happiness Centres Timings
Customer happiness centres in Deira, Al Twar, Al Manara and Al Kifaf will operate from Monday to Thursday between 9am and 5pm, and on Fridays from 9am to 12pm.
The Al Barsha centre will open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm, while the Umm Ramool centre will continue to operate 24 hours a day.
Vehicle Testing and Registration Services
Service provider centres such as Tasjeel and other registration and technical inspection facilities across the emirate will adopt split shifts during Ramadan.
Most centres will operate from 8am to 4pm, with evening services resuming from 8pm to midnight. On Fridays, morning hours will run from 8am to 12pm, followed by evening shifts starting either at 4pm or 8pm, depending on the location.
The RTA noted that between 4pm and 8pm at selected centres, only technical inspection services will be available, without vehicle registration services.
Inspection facilities in Al Awir, Nad Al Hamar, Al Jaddaf and Motor City will also provide evening services to meet increased demand. Some centres will offer limited inspection-only services on Sundays.
Ramadan Parking Timings
Public parking fees will apply from Monday to Saturday in two time slots:
-
8am to 6pm
-
8pm to midnight
Multi-storey parking buildings will continue operating 24 hours a day throughout Ramadan.
