Toll and parking fees in Abu Dhabi
Q Mobility, operator of the toll gate (Darb) and parking (Mawaqif) systems in Abu Dhabi, has yet to announce Eid timings. Parking and toll fees, however, are typically free in the Capital on Sundays and official holidays.
Toll and parking charges were free of charge during last Eid Al Fitr and were reactivated only after the holidays.
Darb toll gates are located on the four bridges, including Sheikh Zayed Bridge, Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Bridge, Al Maqtaa Bridge, and Mussafah Bridge. Vehicles are charged Dh4 every time they pass through any of the toll gates entering and exiting the city during peak hours only (7am to 9am; and 5pm to 7pm). Toll is free during off peak hours, as well as on Sundays and public holidays.
