Mall of the Emirates Parking and Opening Hours

Mall of the Emirates uses a ticketless, barrier-free parking system operated through Parkin — cameras read your number plate and any fee owed is sent to you by SMS or charged automatically, payable via the Parkin app, debit/credit card or Apple Pay. Parkin's own visitor parking schedule of fees for Mall of the Emirates gives a Monday-to-Friday tariff: the first 4 hours free, then AED 20 for 4-5 hours, AED 40 for 5-6, AED 60 for 6-7, AED 100 for 7-8 and AED 150 for 8 hours and above, with overnight parking at AED 350. Majid Al Futtaim's own site states weekend parking is free, and Parkin publishes no Saturday or Sunday table.

The mall has over 7,000 covered parking spaces across four levels with direct access to the mall, and connects to Mall of the Emirates Metro Station (Red Line) via an enclosed overhead walkway.

Mall of the Emirates — frequently asked questions

Is parking free at Mall of the Emirates?

Often, yes. Weekend parking is free, according to Majid Al Futtaim's own site, and on weekdays Parkin's own fee schedule for the mall gives the first 4 hours free. Charges start only once a Monday-to-Friday stay passes 4 hours.

How much is parking at Mall of the Emirates?

Two official tables, which mostly agree. Mall of the Emirates' own parking page: the first 4 hours free, then AED 20 for 4-5 hours, AED 40 for 5-6, AED 60 for 6-7, AED 80 for 7-8 and AED 150 for 8 hours or more, free at weekends (Saturday and Sunday). Parkin, which runs the car park, prints the same bands Monday to Friday except 7-8 hours at AED 100. For overnight, the mall says it is prohibited and charged AED 200 per day; Parkin lists AED 350. We print both because both are official.

What happens if I leave Mall of the Emirates parking and come back the same day?

Parkin's mall parking FAQ says that if you are away for less than 60 minutes, your two stays are added together and charged as one. If you stay away for more than 60 minutes, the earlier session is excluded and the clock starts again.

Can I park overnight at Mall of the Emirates?

No — both sources discourage it, with different figures. The mall's own page says "Overnight parking is prohibited: AED 200 per day"; Parkin's fee table lists Overnight at AED 350 and its FAQ says overnight parking is not permitted. We cannot tell you which charge applies.

How does Mall of the Emirates' parking system work?

It is ticketless and barrier-free: cameras read your number plate at entry and exit through the Parkin system. Any fee owed is sent to you by SMS with a payment link, or can be paid through the Parkin app, by debit/credit card, or Apple Pay.

Does Mall of the Emirates have valet parking?

The mall's own site does not publish valet parking details or pricing in its accessible pages; check with a guest service desk on-site for current valet availability.

How many parking spaces does Mall of the Emirates have?

Over 7,000 covered parking spaces spread across four levels, with direct access into the mall, per malloftheemirates.com.

Is Mall of the Emirates parking free on public holidays?

10:00–23:00 Monday to Thursday, and 10:00–00:00 Friday to Sunday, per malloftheemirates.com's mall timings page.

How do I get to Mall of the Emirates by metro?

Take the Red Line to Mall of the Emirates Metro Station. An enclosed overhead walkway on the 1st floor connects the station directly into the mall.

What are Mall of the Emirates's working hours?

They differ by day. Mall of the Emirates does not keep one set of hours across the week, so there is no single opening or closing time to give. The day-by-day breakdown in the table above is the operator’s own, and it is the only version we publish. Hours can shift during Ramadan and on public holidays.

Is there parking at Mall of the Emirates?

Ticketless, barrier-free — number plate is read on entry/exit (Parkin). Parking tariffs in Dubai are set by the operator and change without notice.

Is Mall of the Emirates open today?

Mall of the Emirates publishes hours for every day of the week, so unless it is a public holiday or an unannounced closure, yes. The hours that apply today are the ones in the table above, confirmed on the verification date at the foot of this page — and we do not publish a claim about today that the operator has not published.

Where can I read reviews of Mall of the Emirates?

Not here. This page publishes what the operator publishes about itself — hours, prices, contact details, and where it publishes none of those, that too — and no opinions, ratings or reviews of any kind. For what visitors say, the venue’s own Google Maps listing carries reviews from people who have actually been. Our editorial policy explains why we keep the two apart.
