Meanwhile, Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) also announced its working hours for all services during the UAE Union Day holiday.

RTA said the change in business hours will impact customer happiness centres, paid parking zones, public buses, Dubai Metro and Tram, marine transport means, and centres conducting technical inspections of vehicles.

Public parking in Dubai will be free during the holiday. However, the transport regulator said free parking does not apply to multi-level terminals. Parking fees will be activated on Tuesday, 5.
