New Year’s Day is the first public holiday of 2019, which means the city will be full of people enjoying their day off. This also means that parking can become quite the struggle, but there is some good news…
Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) have announced that on Tuesday January 1st, parking throughout the city will be completely free of charge (except multi-storey garages). Whatever you’re doing that day, make sure you take advantage of this extremely rare situation, since we all know that parking in Dubai isn’t cheap.
In regards to public transport on New Years Eve, the red and green line on the metro will run from 5am to midnight and for 24h on January 1st. The Dubai Tram will also be running nonstop from 6am on December 31st to 1am on January 2nd.
