RTA Closes Service Centres On Prophet Day

RTA Closes Service Centres On Prophet Day. In recognition of the birthday of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has announced the closure of its service provider centres on Sunday, September 15, 2024. This temporary closure aligns with the nationwide holiday declared for both public and private sector employees across the UAE, in observance of this significant Islamic event.

Temporary Closure of RTA Service Centres

The RTA service provider centres, which cater to various essential services such as vehicle registration, driving license renewals, and public transportation assistance, will remain closed for the full day on September 15, 2024. This closure is part of the broader public holiday observed across the UAE to honour the Prophet’s birthday.

However, the RTA has assured the public that all operations will resume promptly the following day, Monday, September 16, 2024. Regular working hours will be reinstated, allowing residents and visitors alike to access all essential RTA services without further delay.

Stay Informed and Plan Ahead

For those who rely on the services provided by the RTA, it’s important to plan accordingly to avoid any inconvenience due to the closure. The RTA encourages the public to stay informed by following their announcements on official channels, including social media platforms and WhatsApp groups, for timely updates.

In addition to the RTA’s announcement, the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA) has also declared that their offices will be closed on the same date, September 15. This means that residents seeking services such as visa renewals or amnesty applications will need to wait until Monday for these services to resume.

Paid Holiday for Public and Private Sector Employees

The UAE government has announced that Sunday, September 15, 2024, will be a paid public holiday for both public and private sector employees. This gesture underscores the nation’s commitment to honouring Islamic traditions while ensuring that employees across all sectors enjoy a well-deserved day of rest.

In line with this holiday, many government offices and service centres will remain closed throughout the UAE, providing a peaceful day of reflection and celebration for residents.

Free Parking in Sharjah

As part of the holiday festivities, the Sharjah government has declared that public parking will be free of charge on Sunday, September 15, 2024. This initiative offers convenience for residents and visitors who will be out and about during the holiday. However, it’s important to note that the free parking policy does not apply to the seven-day paid parking zones, which are easily identifiable by blue parking signs.

The public is encouraged to check signage carefully to avoid confusion and ensure compliance with Sharjah’s parking regulations.

Looking Ahead: UAE’s National Day Holiday

While the Prophet Muhammad’s birthday marks a significant occasion, UAE residents can also look forward to a longer holiday later in the year. In December 2024, the country will celebrate its National Day on December 2 and 3, which fall on Monday and Tuesday, respectively. When combined with the weekend (Saturday and Sunday), this will give residents a four-day holiday break—an exciting opportunity for families and friends to come together and celebrate the nation’s achievements.

The UAE’s National Day is one of the most anticipated holidays of the year, and it is typically marked by a wide range of celebrations, including fireworks, parades, and cultural festivities.

Conclusion

The closure of RTA service centres on Sunday, September 15, 2024, is part of a wider national observance of Prophet Muhammad’s birthday. Residents and visitors are encouraged to plan ahead, taking note of the closures and free parking initiatives in Sharjah. With a paid holiday for public and private sector employees, this day offers an opportunity for reflection and celebration across the UAE.
