Why the Prices Increased
The UAE adjusts fuel prices every month based on global market movements. December’s increase is linked to:

Since the UAE follows a transparent, deregulated fuel-pricing system, domestic prices reflect global trends.

The updated prices may bring small changes to monthly spending for residents who rely on personal vehicles or business transportation.
Here’s what to keep in mind:
- Expect slightly higher fuel expenses throughout December
- Households may benefit from planning trips more efficiently
- Uniform pricing applies across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah, and Umm Al Quwain
- Businesses using multiple vehicles may see increased operational costs
