Overview
Salik plays a vital role in assisting the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) with providing a smooth and seamless mobility infrastructure in Dubai. The Company operates under an exclusive 49‑year Concession Agreement with the RTA.
Mission
Enable people to spend their time doing what matters the most by providing a seamless and convenient mobility experience.
Vision
To be the global leader in providing sustainable and smart mobility solutions.
Salik’s ten toll gates are strategically located along Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Khail Road— the corridors connecting Dubai’s notable landmarks, Abu Dhabi, and the Northern Emirates. Per the Concession Agreement, Salik oversees all toll gates’ construction, maintenance, and operation and has the exclusive right to operate them until June 2071.
Salik is a publicly listed company, with 75.1% of shares owned by the Dubai Investment Fund and 24.9% traded on the Dubai Financial Market (DFM) stock exchange. It combines strategic government backing with market‑driven transparency.
Salik’s gates are energy‑efficient; three out of ten use solar power to cover their energy needs, and any new gates will also be partially powered by solar energy. In line with Dubai’s Net Zero ambitions, Salik encourages the use of electric vehicles through exemptions for tag activation fees. In 2023, the Company offset its carbon footprint by buying carbon credits for projects that contribute to reducing GHG emissions.

New solar‑powered toll gates
In 2024, Salik introduced two additional toll gates, bringing the total to ten. The two locations—Business Bay Crossing and Al Safa South—were selected based on extensive traffic movement studies by the RTA, aiming to manage traffic distribution and facilitate smoother and more efficient travel in Dubai.
In a pioneering move for the city’s transport infrastructure, both new gates operate almost entirely on solar power, supporting Dubai’s environmental objectives and demonstrating commitment to renewable energy solutions. Toll gates ensure fast, barrier‑free movement, significantly reducing the neighbourhood’s traffic congestion and GHG emissions.
