Sharjah Municipality announced that public parking will be free during the upcoming holidays. On the occasion of the birthday of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), Sharjah residents will be exempt from parking fees on September 28, 2023, officials said on Wednesday.
Public sector employees will have a paid holiday starting Thursday, September 28. Since Sharjah government employees have a three-day weekend off (Friday to Sunday), the holiday translates into a four-day weekend for them. Employees will resume work starting Monday, October 2.
Free parking will only be available on Thursdays and Fridays, with charges applicable for the two following holiday days.
However, 7-day paid parking areas, which are identified by blue parking information signs, will continue to be paid during holidays and weekends.
Federal government employees and private sector employees in the rest of the UAE will have a day off on Friday, September 29. This would be the last long weekend in the UAE as the National Day holidays fall on December 2 and 3 (Saturday and Sunday). .
