Dubai’s iconic BurJuman Mall has upgraded to a ticketless paid parking system, joining other major malls like Mall of the Emirates and Deira City Centre.
While parking remains free for the first three hours, new regulations, including a Dh250 fine for violations, aim to streamline operations. Here’s everything you need to know.
How BurJuman’s New Ticketless Parking Works
The system uses Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras to track vehicles, eliminating physical tickets. Key features include:
-
Barriers lift automatically for seamless entry/exit.

No payment alerts—drivers must validate parking at payment kiosks.
-
Card-only payments at exits (no cash accepted).
