The Holy Month Begins

Mark your calendars! Ramadan is expected to begin on Thursday, February 19. This sacred month of fasting from dawn to dusk means the city's rhythm will beautifully shift. Expect adjusted timings for government services like the RTA and potentially extended hours at major malls. Pro tip: Official confirmations on schedule changes are coming soon, so stay tuned!

Salik’s E-Wallet system is now live across 7,400 parking spaces at Terminals 1, 2, 3, and the Cargo Terminal. This means automated, ticketless parking for anyone with a Salik account. The best part? No extra fees and parking tariffs stay the same. Effortless travel for the win!

A "Chilly" Finale to Winter?

Brace for "cold"... Dubai-style! Following the recent "extreme cold season," we're entering Durr Al Thamanin—another cold weather period. Daytime temps are forecast to dip to around 24°C with plenty of sun. So, while it's not exactly ski weather, it’s the perfect excuse to finally wear that chic jacket you bought!
