Drivers in Dubai should prepare for a slight increase in toll costs this coming Sunday, November 15. Due to the high-profile Dubai T100 Triathlon, Salik has adjusted its variable toll rates to manage traffic flow during the sporting event. While the standard toll for Sunday peak hours is typically Dh4, motorists will be charged Dh6 during the morning rush, specifically between 6am and 10am. Outside of these specific morning hours, regular pricing will apply, including the Dh4 rate for the 10am to 4pm window, while the evening peak rate remains as scheduled. As always, a 5 per cent VAT will be added to all transactions.

The shift in toll pricing is a recurring measure taken to accommodate the massive turnout for the annual T100 Triathlon, which is currently taking place from November 13 to 15. This year, the event has relocated to Al Mamzar and has attracted over 2,000 athletes from 57 different nations. With the triathlon featuring rigorous swim, bike, and run segments—and coinciding with the broader Dubai Fitness Challenge—authorities are encouraging residents to plan their commutes carefully. Whether you are participating in the new Olympic-distance amateur categories or simply navigating the city, it is wise to account for these temporary adjustments before heading out on Sunday.
