    What is Salik Dubai?

    Salik is Dubai's automated toll collection system. It uses RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology to deduct tolls automatically when a vehicle passes through a Salik gate. As of 2026, there are multiple Salik gates across the city, including Al Garhoud Bridge, Al Maktoum Bridge, and Sheikh Zayed Road gates.
