These actions form part of Dubai Municipality’s continuous campaigns to preserve the city’s aesthetic appeal, safeguard public health and safety, and uphold the highest standards of urban cleanliness.

Eng. Saeed Abdul Rahim Safar, Director of the Waste Operations Department at Dubai Municipality, said: “Addressing abandoned vehicles is one of our top priorities in maintaining Dubai's urban environment and enhancing its attractiveness. Our field teams work year round to monitor and remove abandoned vehicles wherever they are found — whether on roads, in public parking areas, or on sandy plots. In the first half of this year alone, we achieved a positive public response rate of 77.68 in resolving abandoned vehicle cases, and we will continue strengthening partnerships and awareness efforts to raise this figure even further.”
