Eid Al Adha in the UAE is a time of festive joy, reflection, and collective joy with friends and family. It also means an increase in traffic at domestic slaughterhouses, unfortunately, as a lot of families maintain the ancient tradition of Qurbani during the sacred time. However, commuting within the city at the time of the holiday, especially around popular areas such as slaughterhouses, is intimidating.
But this year, all is well. The Ajman Municipality has provided free parking all over the city for Eid Al Adha holidays to help ease traffic and facilitate residents and visitors in fulfilling sacrificial duties. Yes, you read it right, Ajman parking on Eid day will cost you not even a single penny.
If you're off to one of Ajman's abattoirs this Eid, here's all you need to know about timing, amenities, and above all, Ajman free parking day.
Update on Free Parking for Slaughter House in Ajman
From Shawwal 1 to 3, paid parking in Ajman will observe free parking for eid holidays. Whether you're going to the central slaughterhouse, going to Masfout or Manama for a peaceful experience, or just with the family enjoying the Eid vibe, parking will not be an issue.
This action by the Ajman Municipality is a part of their larger Eid initiative, for public convenience as well as increasing traffic flow during one of the busiest festivals of the year.
