Salik has unveiled updated toll charges that will be in effect throughout the upcoming holy month of Ramadan.
The city’s toll operator has revised its fee structure to reflect anticipated shifts in travel behaviour and adjusted work and school hours, with the aim of improving traffic flow.
Authorities have introduced new timings so that fasting hours and daily routines during Ramadan are better accommodated. Government departments, private businesses and educational institutions will adopt adjusted schedules to help people observe the month while maintaining productivity.
From Monday to Saturday, a Dh6 toll will apply during peak hours between 9 am and 5 pm, a Dh4 charge will be in place from 7 am to 9 am and again from 5 pm to 2 am, and no fee will be levied between 2 am and 7 am.
On Sundays, excluding public holidays or major events, a Dh4 toll will be charged throughout the day from 7 am until 2 am, with no charges between 2 am and 7 am.
The holy month is expected to begin in the UAE on either Wednesday or Thursday, depending on the sighting of the moon. The UAE’s Moon Sighting Committee will convene on Tuesday, February 17, and after Maghrib prayers the Fatwa council will review reports from field observation teams.
In January, Salik entered into a 10-year contract with Dubai Airports to introduce seamless parking payment solutions at Dubai International Airport (DXB).
Under this agreement, Salik’s E-Wallet payment system has been launched across all paid parking areas at DXB, covering some 7,400 parking spaces across Terminals 1, 2, 3 and the Cargo Mega Terminal.
Last week, Salik reported a 33.4 per cent increase in net profit for 2025, reaching Dh1.55 billion compared with Dh1.16 billion the year before.
The company’s revenues rose by 35.1 per cent year-on-year to Dh3.09 billion, supported by the introduction of variable pricing in January 2025, full-year operation of two additional toll gates, stronger economic activity with more vehicles on the road, and increased traffic.
