Unfortunately, that is no longer the case, residents in Barsha Heights have now been hit with more regulated parking areas.

Barsha Heights is a residential area near Greens and Barsha in Dubai that is filled with residential buildings, hotels and offices.

The area has been marked with an RTA parking sign that holds an “A” zone, meaning that anyone who wants to park their car in that area will have to pay a fee of AED4 an hour.

Parking charges are applicable from 8:00 AM till 10:00 PM from Saturday to Thursday during the week.

Fridays and public holidays are the only times when RTA designated parking would be free of charge.

The parking fees around Dubai depends on which category the parking is in.

3 Hours – AED12
4 Hours – AED16

Category 2: Rest of Dubai

It’s also good to know how much money to carry around to avoid a hefty parking fine and you identify which zone by looking for an RTA parking sign in the area.
