Planning a Trip to Dubai Mall? Expect Ramp Closures and New Parking Routes
Dubai Mall has announced a series of temporary parking closures and traffic reroutes as part of its ongoing expansion project, urging visitors to plan their trips accordingly.
In a recent social media update, the mall confirmed the closure of key access points including the Lower Financial Exit Ramp, Grand Drive Valet services, and the Upper Financial Exit Ramp. Traffic usually flowing through these routes will now be diverted via Grand Drive and Cinema P3.
Additionally, the Grand Parking area is scheduled to temporarily shut down in June. A new Grand Drive is expected to open by August, aimed at improving accessibility and enhancing visitor experience once the upgrades are complete.
To help ease the transition, the mall has advised visitors to follow updated signage and allow for additional travel time while using the diversions. The management emphasized that the changes are temporary and part of a broader effort to accommodate increasing footfall and future development.
This update comes shortly after the mall also announced the temporary closure of the Dubai Fountain for a five-month renovation period.
Parking at Dubai Mall has been a focal point since July 1 last year, when paid parking was introduced in collaboration with Salik. The system applies to Grand Parking, Cinema Parking, and Fashion Parking, while Zabeel and Fountain Views parking areas remain free of charge.
Under the new model, visitors are granted four hours of free parking on weekdays and six on weekends. Beyond that, fees apply and can reach up to Dh1,000 for a 24-hour period. The system operates without physical barriers, relying on automated tracking based on time spent.
As Dubai Mall continues to expand and upgrade its facilities, shoppers are encouraged to stay informed and adapt to the temporary changes during this transition phase.

Al Ain court orders man to pay Dhs38,000 for selling someone else's car
Al Ain Court for Civil, Commercial, and Administrative Cases ordered a man to pay Dhs38,000 to another, after the first man advertised a car for sale, prompting the second to send him the purchase amount but the seller delayed delivering the car, and it was later discovered that the car belonged to someone else. The purchaser filed a lawsuit against the seller, demanding he pay Dhs41,300 along with fees and expenses. The appellee had advertised a 2014 model car for sale, and the plaintiff transferred the purchase amount but the appellee delayed delivery, and it was found that the car belonged to another person. The plaintiff also requested that the appellee be directed to take a decisive oath, swearing that he did not owe the plaintiff Dhs38,000, the amount paid for the car. The plaintiff submitted supporting documents, including a bank transfer receipt for the claimed amount and a payment invoice for fines totaling Dhs3,300. The appellee failed to attend the session allocated for the oath despite being notified. The court stated that since the appellee did not attend the session for the decisive oath, it issued a ruling in absentia, ordering him to pay the plaintiff Dhs38,000.
