Great idea: "The centre now ...Great idea:
"The centre now charges visitors AED10 ($2.70) per hour for parking on weekdays between 6am and 6pm, but the fee is refunded if shoppers spend more than AED100."

AED 10 per hour is a bit ...AED 10 per hour is a bit steep.. There is a vast difference between BurJuman and CC.
I think 4 riyals an hour is resonable with the fee being waived for spending more than 50 riyals.

I wonder if the 100dirhams ...I wonder if the 100dirhams has to be spent in a single transaction, or if you could spend 50 dirhams at two different shops to get the free parking.
If people are going to city center only to spend 50 riyals, they probably need to get out more.

I was at the City Center ...I was at the City Center yesterday and it was a nightmare - at 4 PM !!!
Anyway, I can't wait till they implement this new idea.

Well I am all for Paid ...Well I am all for Paid Parking. AS for many years we are paying for even parking outside our own house back in the UK.. Atleast the chances on getting a place in CC will be good...
