Dubai’s Mall of the Emirates has announced significant enhancements to its parking benefits, offering extended complimentary parking for visitors to its premier attractions. Parkin, the city’s leading parking facility operator, confirmed that guests visiting Ski Dubai can now obtain up to six hours of free parking by validating their attraction payment at the mall’s customer service desk.
The new policy provides Ski Dubai visitors with two additional hours of complimentary parking beyond the standard four-hour free period, effectively creating a six-hour parking benefit. Similarly, VOX Cinemas patrons can claim an extra two hours of free parking by validating their movie ticket purchases.
For retail shoppers, the mall maintains its existing policy offering all-day free parking for customers spending Dh150 or more, subject to purchase validation. Weekend visitors continue to enjoy completely free parking on Saturdays and Sundays, though overnight parking remains prohibited with a Dh200 daily penalty for violations.
The updated parking fee structure at Mall of the Emirates operates on a graduated scale: complimentary for 0-4 hours, Dh20 for 4-5 hours, Dh40 for 5-6 hours, Dh60 for 6-7 hours, Dh100 for 7-8 hours, and Dh150 for exceeding eight hours.
These parking enhancements form part of the mall’s comprehensive parking management strategy, which transitioned to a barrierless paid parking system in February 2025 following a five-year agreement between Majid Al Futtaim and Parkin PJSC. The innovative technology eliminates traditional entry and exit barriers, significantly improving traffic flow and visitor experience at one of Dubai’s most popular shopping and entertainment destinations.
