Paid parking in Dubai Mall

Salik in cooperation with Emaar Malls announced that parking at one of the biggest malls
in the world will soon become a paid service. The payment will include a barrier-free
system which will be put in place by Salik. The process will be automated and customers

will be charged using vehicle plate recognition. The payment will be deducted directly
from the customer’s Salik user account – the same way it works when you pass the tolls.
It is expected to be rolled out in the third quarter of 2024. The price is yet to be
announced, so stay tuned to What’s On for updates.

UAE raffles and prize draws put on hold

UAE’s popular lucky draw Mahzooz has announced a temporary pause on
operations. The popular prize draw has created 64 millionaires and given away more
than half a billion dirhams to around 1.8 million winners. But as of January 1, 2024 – the

draws have been put on, what the brand stated on its website that “in compliance with
applicable commercial gaming regulations, Mahzooz will temporarily pause operations
from January 1st, 2024. The pause is a result of an industry-wide mandate consistent
with the Regulators’ new role to create a well-regulated gaming environment in the

United Arab Emirates.”
