Dubai – Emaar Malls, in collaboration with Salik, the toll gate operator, has announced plans to implement a paid parking system at the iconic Dubai Mall. The partnership aims to create a seamless and efficient parking management system for visitors, utilizing Salik’s technology to enable a barrier-free experience.
Scheduled for operation in the third quarter of 2024, the new system will transition Dubai Mall’s parking into a paid service. Salik’s vehicle plate recognition technology will facilitate automatic fee collection, providing a ticketless and convenient experience for mall customers. The charges for parking are yet to be determined and will be finalized by Emaar Malls as part of the project’s business rules.
