Starting July 1, 2024, Dubai Mall will implement a new paid parking system in collaboration with Salik. The system will transition from free parking to a barrier-free payment method using vehicle plate recognition.
This initiative aims to enhance efficiency and minimize congestion at one of the world’s busiest shopping destinations.
How the Barrier-Free Payment System Works:
The new parking system at Dubai Mall will operate seamlessly without gates or barriers. Using advanced vehicle plate recognition technology, fees will be automatically deducted from customers’ Salik accounts, akin to the Salik toll system used on Dubai’s roads.
