Abu Dhabi residents can now reserve parking spots in their neighborhoods during specific hours, making parking more convenient.
Known as the Mawaqif Parking Permit, this system allows residents, including both homeowners and tenants, to secure a parking space in their area from 9 PM to 8 AM. Outside these hours, the spaces are open to visitors and non-permit holders, who can park after paying the applicable fees.
These designated parking spots are marked with blue lines or signs that say ‘Resident Permit Only’. Both apartment and villa residents can apply for the permit. Additionally, first or second-degree relatives living in the same home are eligible to apply.
Mawaqif is a parking system managed by Abu Dhabi’s transport department. All public parking zones are paid, but parking is free on Sundays and public holidays. Here’s a straightforward guide to help you get the permit.
