There are updates to public transport timings too…

Dubai’s Roads & Transport Authority (RTA) has announced that there will be free parking in Dubai over the Eid Al Adha holidays. The free parking in Dubai is valid from Monday July 19 to Friday July 23, and does not apply to multi-storey parking. Parking fees will resume on Saturday July 24.

RTA has also announced revised timings for public buses, metro, tram and marine transport timetables. Customer Happiness Centres will be closed from July 19 to 24, with services resuming on July 25.

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