Ramadan timings for paid Mawaqif parking announced



ABU DHABI // Mawaqif has announced the times during Ramadan when motorists will have to pay for parking.

Fees will be payable from 9am until 2.30pm, and from 10.30pm until 2.30am. On Thursdays, the second period runs from 9pm until midnight. Friday parking in Mawaqif spaces will still be free.

The charges will be the same as normal and underground car parks are not affected.

Normal Mawaqif paid-parking times of 8am until midnight, and free on Fridays and public holidays, will resume after Eid Al Fitr.

Ramadan is expected to begin on Sunday.

The Department of Transport has also begun parking management in Al Ain’s commercial and cultural districts. Parking spaces have been introduced in Al Murabba, Al Madheef, Al Salama, Nad Al Rusas and Hai Al Humaira.

New parking bays in Al Ain will initially be free but the department would not say for how long. Illegal parking will not be permitted.

Members of the public are encouraged to contact the customer-care service in the department’s building in Oud Al Tawba if they have suggestions on how to improve the system.

The chef's advice

Troy Payne, head chef at Abu Dhabi’s newest healthy eatery Sanderson’s in Al Seef Resort & Spa, says singles need to change their mindset about how they approach the supermarket.

“They feel like they can’t buy one cucumber,” he says. “But I can walk into a shop – I feed two people at home – and I’ll walk into a shop and I buy one cucumber, I’ll buy one onion.”

Mr Payne asks for the sticker to be placed directly on each item, rather than face the temptation of filling one of the two-kilogram capacity plastic bags on offer.

The chef also advises singletons not get too hung up on “organic”, particularly high-priced varieties that have been flown in from far-flung locales. Local produce is often grown sustainably, and far cheaper, he says.
