From Monday to Saturday, Salik operates on the following schedule:
- Peak Hours (6 AM – 10 AM, 4 PM – 8 PM): AED 6
- Low-Peak Hours (10 AM – 4 PM, 8 PM – 1 AM): AED 4
- Off-Peak (Free Hours, 1 AM – 6 AM): No charges
On Sundays, a flat rate of AED 4 applies throughout the day, but the free window from 1 AM to 6 AM remains.
During Ramadan, the toll structure adjusts:
- Peak Hours (9 AM – 5 PM): AED 6
- Low-Peak Hours (7 AM – 9 AM, 5 PM – 2 AM): AED 4
- Off-Peak (Free Hours, 2 AM – 7 AM): No charges
Additionally, a helpful rule limits charges when passing through certain gates. If drivers go through Al Mamzar or Al Safa gates in the same direction within one hour, they will only incur a single charge.
Salik, Dubai’s electronic toll system, uses RFID technology for seamless payments. To utilize Salik, drivers must acquire a Salik tag, link it to their account, and maintain a balance for automatic deductions at toll gates.
With ten active Salik gates across major routes, understanding these timings can help motorists save on toll expenses while navigating the city.
