How to avoid parking fines in Dubai?

To avoid parking fines in Dubai, always ensure you park in designated areas and pay the required fees. In my 5 years living here, I’ve noticed that fines can be as high as AED 1,000 for illegal parking, so using apps like RTA’s ‘Dubai Drive’ can help you find available spots. Additionally, be aware of the timing of paid parking zones, typically enforced from 8 AM to 10 PM. Also, it's wise to keep your parking ticket visible to avoid any misunderstandings with parking inspectors.
