How Salik Works
Salik’s ten toll gates are located along the Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Khail Road, the main highways connecting Dubai’s key landmarks and areas as well as connecting Abu Dhabi with the Northern Emirates and Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Rask Khaimah within the southern Emirates, in addition for being the main thoroughfare for traffic.
Solar Powered Gates
Solar-powered toll gates are equipped with grid-connected solar PV systems, enabling on-site renewable electricity generation and supporting the reduction of grid electricity consumption. This initiative supports Salik’s transition towards cleaner energy and reinforces its broader ESG commitments.
Seamless Parking
Since the launch of its partnership with Emaar Malls in July 1, 2024, Salik’s advanced technology has provided seamless, barrier-free parking payment solution for Dubai Mall visitors. The system offers automatic, ticketless fee collection by recognising vehicle plates and deducting applicable charges directly from Salik user accounts across the Fashion, Grand, and Cinema parking zones.
Salik has also partnered with Parkonic, the UAE’s largest private parking operator, to integrate its eWallet system across Parkonic’s 110 locations and future sites, marking Salik’s first geographical expansion beyond the Emirate of Dubai. This collaboration, effective from Q1 2025, supports the UAE’s smart-city goals and provides seamless parking payment solutions while boosting Salik’s ancillary revenue streams. And, starting from 22 January 2026, Salik’s eWallet will provide seamless parking at Dubai International airport terminals.
