The Good Stuff
Large space
Reviews describe it as a huge, spacious place with many parking options.
Usually available
Several customers found spaces more reliably here than while searching around the surrounding streets.
Security
One customer reported friendly staff, good security and a safe place to leave the car.
Bus station
The parking is opposite Sabkha bus station, making it convenient for combining driving with a bus journey.
Tips for a Better Visit
Check status. Check whether the site is open before driving over: reviews have reported maintenance and renovation closures.
Use mParking. For Dubai plates, consider RTA mParking by SMS to 7275; the service can alert you before the permit expires.
Watch time. Allow for the next hourly charge: one review says even 1 hour and 10 minutes is calculated as two hours.
Keep receipt. Check the amount and receipt before leaving, following a reported incorrect charge and another customer's receipt.
Plan for heat. Expect open-air conditions at present rather than shaded tower parking, according to the latest detailed review.
Allow extra time. Although the site is usually described as spacious, availability can disappear at busy times in Naif.

Popular Mentions

Common Concerns

After the building was demolished, a recent review describes the site as ordinary open RTA parking without shade.
Renovation closure

The Bottom Line
RTA PUBLIC Parking is a paid parking option in Naif for drivers visiting the area's shopping streets, Naif Souq, Gold Souq and Dubai Creek. It is also opposite Sabkha bus station. Earlier reviews praised the multistorey tower for its large capacity, while more recent feedback says the building was demolished and the site is now normal open RTA parking.
The location is the main draw. Customers describe it as close to shops, accessible and often easier than circling Deira for a space. One visitor reported plenty of spaces, friendly assistance and good security; others called it huge and spacious.
Availability is not guaranteed, though, with one review noting that it is sometimes full. Customer-reported pricing includes AED 5 per hour, with one older review giving a maximum of AED 42 for 24 hours. Watch the clock: a separate review says 1 hour and 10 minutes was charged as two hours.
There is also an RTA mParking SMS service, described as allowing payment by sending a message to 7275 and receiving expiry alerts. Check the current operating status before setting out. Reviews reported maintenance and renovation closures, and the latest detailed feedback specifically mentions no shade at the present site.
