Dubai has added another residential district to its charged parking network. Al Furjan paid parking is now in force, with the area falling under zone code 591P and guidance boards installed across the neighbourhood to mark which bays are chargeable.
Parkin, the company that operates public parking across Dubai, said residents and visitors can either pay by the hour at the approved tariff or buy a subscription that covers a fixed period. The change matters most to people living in Al Furjan villas and towers who have been leaving a car on the street at no cost until now.

What zone 591P covers
The 591P code applies to designated public bays in Al Furjan. It does not cover private basement parking inside residential buildings, and it does not cover spaces managed by a developer or an owners association. Boards have been placed in the area showing exactly which bays sit inside the charged zone, so the most reliable check is the sign closest to where you leave the car.
Al Furjan paid parking subscription prices
Four subscription options are available, each tied to a single vehicle plate.
| Subscription period | Price |
|---|---|
| One month | Dh672 |
| Three months | Dh1,999 |
| Six months | Dh3,999 |
| One year | Dh4,999 |
The annual plan works out at roughly Dh417 a month, so anyone who parks in the zone every day is considerably better off on the twelve month option than renewing monthly. The three month and six month tiers sit in between and suit shorter stays or tenants on a fixed lease.
How to pay
- The Parkin app, which also shows the zone map and sells subscriptions
- SMS from your registered mobile number
- The RTA app
- The DubaiNow app
- Street payment machines
Your plate details have to be entered correctly for a subscription to be recognised by inspectors, so check them carefully before confirming payment. Keep in mind that a subscription covers the zone it was bought for and does not travel with you to other parts of Dubai.
What has not been confirmed
Two details still deserve caution. The hourly tariff for zone 591P has not appeared in official announcements, and the charging hours for Al Furjan have not been confirmed either. Several other recently added Dubai zones charge between 8am and 10pm, but that has not been stated for 591P, so it should not be assumed here.
Before you park, read the board at the bay and open the Parkin website or app to confirm the live rate and hours for 591P, and check the RTA site for wider Dubai parking updates. If Al Furjan paid parking affects you daily, compare the subscription tiers against what hourly payment would cost over a month before choosing. Charged parking has been widening across the country this year, including new paid streets in Ajman and revised speed limits on several Dubai roads, so the signs are worth a second look in any area you use regularly.
