Warsan Industrial parking is reported as paid except Sundays, while Dubai Islands is reported as paid around the clock, according to an October 2026 report citing Parkin. The areas have different codes but the same reported hourly rate. Before paying, verify your location, posted tariff and available payment method.

Key facts

What are the Warsan Industrial parking fees and timings?

The reported hourly tariff is the same in both locations, but their charging schedules differ. In particular, you should not transfer Warsan Industrial’s Sunday exception to Dubai Islands.

The comparison below reflects a news report published on 25 October 2026, citing an advisory from Parkin Company P.J.S.C. A separately verified official tariff sheet for these new arrangements was not available in the research.

Location Reported code Reported hourly rate Reported paid hours and Sunday treatment Reported subscriptions Date and source
Warsan Industrial 622T AED 4.20 8am–10pm, except Sundays 1 month: AED 580; 3 months: AED 1,385; 6 months: AED 2,080; 1 year: AED 3,460 As of October 2026, Khaleej Times, citing Parkin
Dubai Islands 101G AED 4.20 24 hours a day; no Sunday exception stated 3 months: AED 900; 6 months: AED 1,800; 1 year: AED 3,600 As of October 2026, Khaleej Times, citing Parkin

What is not yet verified: acceptance of each new code through SMS, the precise zone-specific message format, and public-holiday treatment. The sign next to your bay is the final word; rules change, so resolve any conflicting information before paying.

Is Warsan Industrial parking free on Sundays?

The reported Warsan Industrial schedule excludes Sundays. However, the Dubai Islands schedule does not state the same exception.

That distinction matters if you visit both locations during the weekend. A charging schedule attached to one location does not establish the rules for another, even when their hourly prices match.

Likewise, do not apply a general Dubai street-parking timetable to these locations without checking it. The published announcement describes location-specific arrangements rather than a single schedule covering every Dubai bay.

If you park close to a charging-period boundary, check the posted timetable and the expiry shown in your payment confirmation. This helps you understand exactly which period your payment covers.

How do you pay for parking in Warsan Industrial or Dubai Islands?

Use a payment channel offered for the exact location where you park. General availability of a payment method does not prove that it accepts every newly announced code.

The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) lists SMS, WhatsApp, the RTA Dubai app, the Parkin app and parking machines among its general parking-payment channels. Its Parking Services page does not provide zone-specific confirmation for these newly reported arrangements.

  1. Confirm whether your destination is Warsan Industrial or Dubai Islands.
  2. Read the location code on the sign beside your actual bay.
  3. Check the posted tariff, charging hours and any holiday notice.
  4. Select a payment channel that explicitly supports that location.
  5. Check the successful payment confirmation and expiry time before leaving your vehicle.

Can you pay by SMS?

Zone-specific SMS acceptance remains unverified in the available research. As of October 2026, the general Dubai SMS destination is 7275, supported by the RTA parking service information; the page itself has no publication date.

However, that number alone does not confirm a working message for either new location. No exact zone-specific SMS format or worked example is published here because the available evidence does not verify one.

Instead, use SMS only when the local sign or current official service confirms both the code and message structure. If acceptance is unclear, choose another supported channel rather than guessing.

What should you check before buying a parking subscription?

The report lists different subscription options for Warsan Industrial and Dubai Islands. However, a published price alone does not establish coverage, eligibility or a reserved-space entitlement.

Before purchasing parking subscriptions, check the current terms through Parkin’s parking service. Make sure the product names the location you need.

  1. Confirm that the subscription covers your intended parking area.
  2. Check which vehicle or plate the subscription covers.
  3. Review the validity period and activation terms.
  4. Read any restrictions or exclusions before completing the purchase.

For example, a subscription advertised for an island destination should not be assumed to cover an industrial-area bay. Similarly, do not assume a subscription reserves a particular space unless its terms expressly say so.

Is parking free on public holidays in these locations?

The available research does not establish a blanket public-holiday exemption for either new arrangement. Check the notice for the actual holiday and location rather than treating a Sunday exception as a holiday rule.

As of January 2026, the UAE Government’s public-parking guidance states that public parking is generally free on public holidays. However, that general guidance does not independently confirm how these newly reported locations handle every holiday.

Therefore, look for current operator information before a holiday visit. If a general announcement and local instructions appear inconsistent, ask the operator to clarify which rule applies to your bay.

How can UAE Parking help you prepare?

UAE Parking builds the SMS needed for supported paid street parking, reducing message-format mistakes. It is independent and is not affiliated with RTA or Parkin.

You can save your plates on your device and select the relevant plate when parking. The Dubai SMS parking helper also builds messages in your browser and lists zone rates and operating hours.

However, a message-building tool does not establish acceptance of a newly reported zone. Confirm support for your bay first; UAE Parking does not take or process parking payments.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use the same parking code in Warsan Industrial and Dubai Islands?

No. The reported arrangements assign different codes to the locations, so read the sign beside your bay rather than reusing a code from another destination.

Is SMS payment confirmed for both new parking locations?

No. The available research confirms general Dubai SMS parking but does not independently verify acceptance or an exact message format for either newly reported location.

Does a parking subscription guarantee a reserved space?

The available report does not establish a reserved-space entitlement. Check the subscription’s current terms and location coverage before purchasing.

Does UAE Parking collect the parking fee?

No. UAE Parking builds the SMS message; the parking operator charges the parking fee to your mobile account when you send the SMS.

Bottom line

Keep the locations separate: their reported hourly prices match, but their codes, charging schedules and subscription options differ. Verify the local instructions before payment, and do not assume SMS acceptance or holiday exemptions. For supported SMS parking, you can download the free UAE Parking app for iPhone or Android to prepare your message.
