Eid Al Fitr 2026: Enjoy Zero Tolls and Free Parking Across Abu Dhabi
Motorists in Abu Dhabi can celebrate a stress-free commute this year as authorities waive fees for Eid Al Fitr. The Integrated Transport Centre confirmed that the Mawaqif parking system remains free from Thursday, March 19, until Sunday, March 22.
Drivers can use public parking spaces across the city without paying any fees during this festive 4-day period. Regular paid parking charges will officially resume on Monday, March 23, following the public holiday.
The Darb toll gate fees are also suspended for the holiday. This means residents can cross major bridges into Abu Dhabi island without any balance being deducted from accounts. The suspension follows the same timeline as the parking waiver, beginning this Thursday and ending on Sunday night.
Regular toll charges will resume on Monday, March 23, once the official holiday period concludes for everyone. While physical Customer Happiness Centres will close, the ITC ensures that all essential services remain accessible to motorists.
You can manage your accounts or apply for permits through several digital platforms that operate 24 hours a day. Here are the primary digital channels and pro-tips for motorists during the Eid Al Fitr holiday break:
- Official Q Mobility website at www.qmobility.ae
- Darb mobile application on iOS and Android

- Pro-Tip: Multi-storey parking buildings typically remain paid even during public holidays.
- Pro-Tip: Resident-only zones (9 PM – 8 AM) still require a valid residential permit.
