How did I pass through seven Salik gates in Dubai without paying a dirham?

Thanks to the new Salik pricing system introduced earlier this year, driving between 1am and 6am now means toll-free access — a game-changer for night owls like me. On one such night, I cruised through seven gates, from Jebel Ali to Al Mamzar, without being charged. With no traffic, peaceful roads, and a glittering skyline, it felt like a private tour of Dubai’s best sights — all for free. Have you tried a late-night Salik-free drive? What’s your take on the new pricing system?
