Sharjah extends paid parking hours to midnight across key cities

Paid parking hours in Sharjah have been extended to midnight across several cities. The change affects around 124,000 public parking spaces in Sharjah, Kalba, Khorfakkan, and Al Dhaid. Authorities aim to improve parking availability and tackle illegal parking with this update. An in-depth study of parking patterns and occupancy rates led to the decision. The new system will now run from 8am to midnight, with some variations in smart parking zones. Seasonal parking subscribers will receive an extra two hours of coverage under the revised schedule.

Motorists are reminded to follow the updated hours and pay fees through official channels. Seasonal subscriptions remain available via Sharjah City Municipality’s services. Parking will stay free on Fridays and public holidays, except in specific fee-charging areas. The extended hours are designed to meet rising demand and support Sharjah’s development. The adjustment applies to a large number of parking spaces across the emirate. Drivers are encouraged to comply with the new rules to avoid penalties.
