The new parking system will come into effect in the new year at three of Dubai’s most popular malls

 

Love heading to the city centres? Starting 1 January 2025, Parkin is introducing a new paid parking system at three popular malls in Dubai.

These include Mall of the Emirates (MoE), Deira City Centre (DCC) and Mirdif City Centre.

Parkin Company, the emirate’s primary public parking operator, partnered with developer Majid Al Futtaim (MAF) Properties to introduce ‘barrierless parking’, similar to the latest parking fee updates at Dubai Mall.

Mall parking fees, however, will remain unchanged under the five-year contract, Parkin said in a statement.

With the Parkin’s seamless parking technology, visitors will no longer have to stop and wait at barriers when entering or exiting mall parking lots.

Advanced cameras will automatically capture licence plates, tracking each vehicle’s progress and duration of stay.

As drivers enter the parking area, they will get an SMS or a Parkin app alert about the parking costs. You can settle the charges if any on the app or Parkin’s website.

The new seamless entry and exit experience is expected to ease mall access for more than 20 million cars every year across three sites. These malls have a total of 21,000 parking spaces.

Parkin, a public joint stock company listed on the Dubai Financial Market, has been looking to expand its services to privately owned developments — including shopping malls, airports, and other high-traffic facilities — it said earlier this year.
