No scrambling to pay while you're already late. No fines for forgetting. No stepping out of a meeting to feed the meter. shalwa starts and ends your parking on its own — so you can forget it's even there.
Three everyday moments shalwa is built to erase — so parking stops costing you time, focus, and money.
You've parked, but you're not going anywhere yet. Open the app, find your plate, choose the zone, tap to pay — thumbs racing while the minutes you don't have slip away.
You park and walk. The session starts the moment you stop — no app, no plate to type, no meter. You're already on your way.
You meant to. Then a call came in, the day got away from you, and it slipped your mind. Days later a fine arrives — for parking you'd happily have paid for.
shalwa never forgets. Every session starts on its own, so a paid space is always paid — and that fine simply never comes.
Mid-meeting, mid-coffee, mid-catch-up, the timer is ticking at the back of your mind. Step out to extend it, or risk the fine? Either way, the moment is broken.
shalwa runs as long as you're parked and stops when you leave. Nothing to extend, nothing to interrupt. Stay exactly where you are.
Open shalwa and it's all already handled — whether a session is running, what's in your wallet, and the receipt from your last park. Most days, you won't need to open it at all.

Setup takes about a minute. After that, shalwa runs on its own — you never open the app to park.
Flip a single toggle when you set up shalwa. From then on it runs quietly in the background.
Drive into any paid zone. shalwa spots your car and starts the parking session for you — hands-free.
When you leave, the session ends itself. A clean receipt lands on your lock screen.
Every detail is there to remove a step — not add one.
Detecting your car, starting the session, ending it — all of it happens on its own.
shalwa rides along on your car's screen, right where you need it.
Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and the rest — all seven emirate plate formats are supported.
See exactly what each session cost the moment it ends — no digging required.
See a parking fine, pay it, or open a dispute — all without leaving shalwa.
Set auto top-up once, with a cap you choose, and never run dry mid-session.
We're in the final stretch before launch. Join the waitlist and you'll be among the first to turn it on — and the first to park, forget.

shalwa is launching across the UAE, starting with the paid parking zones of Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
No. Once shalwa is on, it works in the background. You only open the app to check a receipt or top up your wallet.
You'll pay for your parking plus a small shalwa service fee. We always show you the full amount up front — exact pricing will be confirmed closer to launch.
shalwa runs through CarPlay and your phone. If you can park in a paid UAE zone, shalwa can cover it.
Yes — all seven emirates' plate formats are supported, so whichever emirate registered your car, shalwa recognises it.
Join the waitlist and we'll reach out the day shalwa goes live in your city.
