Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has increased the parking capacity of the Jumeirah Beach area to 307 paid parking slots at both Jumeirah and Umm Suqeim.

The new parking spots have been added to four different parking lots along the Jumeirah Beach stretch to ease the accessibility of the beach and walkway from the parking area.

The first and second parking lots at Jumeirah 3 include 157 new parking spaces.

The third area at Umm Suqeim 1 and 2 includes 93 parking spaces, and the fourth lot at Umm Suqeim 3 has 57 parking slots.

New signage has been installed to inform motorists of the spaces where parking is permitted and let people know the available payment methods to pay the parking tariffs.

Fees can be paid in cash or by nol card at the designated machines at the parking meters. Additionally, motorists can pay through RTA Dubai app, SMS and the WhatsApp app on their smartphones.

The RTA works closely with Dubai Municipality to allocate parking spaces where needed across Dubai's neighbourhoods.

The objective is to provide better services for residents and visitors to the recreational facilities at the beach such as the walkway and cycling track.
