There are changes to public transport timings to take note of too…

Dubai’s Roads & Transport Authority (RTA) has announced that there will be free parking in Dubai over the Eid Al Fitr holidays. The free parking in Dubai is valid from Ramadan 29 (Tuesday May 11) to Shawal 3, and does not apply to multi-storey parking.

Parking fees will resume on Shawal 4, which is likely to fall on Saturday May 15 or Sunday May 16.

RTA has also announced revised timings for public buses, metro, tram and marine transport timetables. Customer Happiness Centres will be closed from May 11 to Shawal 3, with services resuming on Shawal 4.

Public holidays in Dubai usually mean a change in public transport timings and this public holiday is no different, so here they are:
