Dubai can get busy, especially during peak hours, and on Fridays, mosques can get packed, making parking difficult for those who are there to pray and pay their respects. It’s a good thing that imams and muezzins in the emirate can apply to reserve a parking space at mosques. Before applying for a reservation permit, make sure you have the required documents ready, including a letter from the Department of Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities (DIACA) or from the mosque owner/sponsor and Mulkiya/Vehicle registration. You can apply through the RTA website by selecting ‘Apply for Reserving a Parking for a Mosque’ and following the instructions to upload the necessary documents.
Once the application is approved, you can check your virtual permit details through the website or visit Customer Happiness Centres to submit the required documents and receive your parking permit card. The parking reservation permit is valid for one year and renewable, allowing you to reserve a parking space at a mosque, especially on busy days like Friday, and to lend your permit to your first or second degree relatives. However, there are terms and conditions to consider, such as being a Dubai resident, with only one parking per imam and one parking per muezzin allowed to be reserved.
In case of private mosques, your sponsorship should be on the mosque’s sponsor or the developer that built it. The permit is not valid for other already reserved parking spaces, so make sure to follow the guidelines and regulations set in place. Overall, the process of applying for a reservation permit for a mosque parking space in Dubai is straightforward and ensures that imams and muezzins have a convenient way to access the mosque during busy times.
