Legal Tinting Rules in Dubai (RTA Guidelines)
In Dubai, vehicle window tinting is allowed up to 50% on side and rear windows, while tinting the front windscreen is strictly prohibited under current traffic laws. This rule applies to private vehicles only and excludes taxis and trucks. Before 2017, only 30% tinting was permitted.
To accommodate the UAE’s extreme summer heat, the law was relaxed. Violating the 50% tint limit can result in a fine of AED 1,500, unless special permission is obtained from RTA or Dubai Police.
