The Good Stuff
Close walk
World Trade Centre is around a five- to six-minute walk away, according to one visitor.
Wide spaces
Several reviews describe the parking spaces as wide, spacious and clearly marked.
Multiple entrances
The lot has three parallel car entrances, which can make getting in smoother than getting out.
Simple payment
One visitor found the payment system smooth and had no trouble finding a space.
DIFC option
It is also described as a way to park near DIFC without paying a fortune.
Tips for a Better Visit
Arrive early. For busy exhibitions, arrive early: reviews say demand makes spaces difficult to find and recommend an early arrival.
Check rates. Confirm the event-day rate before entering; GITEX pricing was reported as AED50 for the first hour instead of AED10 hourly.
Plan departure. Allow extra time to leave after peak events, when exit queues have lasted more than an hour.
Consider metro. If road traffic is heavy, reaching DWTC by metro was described as ideal for avoiding the congestion.
Cover your car. Bring sun protection for the car, as one review specifically advised covering it.

The Bottom Line
Al Mustaqbal Street Parking is a large paid facility in Zabeel, mainly useful for Dubai World Trade Centre offices, conferences and exhibitions. You can park here and walk to WTC in about five to six minutes, or use the overhead walkway and the Level 4 link bridge to reach the Exhibition Centre entrance. Wide spaces, clearly marked bays and three parallel entrances are practical advantages.
The main catch is that the experience changes dramatically during major events. On ordinary visits, reviewers reported AED10 per hour or described the charges as reasonable. Exhibition pricing has been much higher: one review recorded AED50 for the first hour and AED30 for each additional hour during GITEX, while another reported AED70 for three hours.
These are customer-reported examples, not a current tariff, so check the rate before entering. Traffic and exits deserve more attention than the entrance. Finding a space can be difficult at busy times, some sections have reportedly closed during events, and exit queues have lasted over an hour—with one visitor waiting 2 hours 49 minutes during GITEX.
Arrive early, allow time to leave, and consider the metro if the surrounding roads are congested.
