Good news for Emirati families. The UAE just levelled up the Nafis programme, and it’s looking like a major win for those working in the private sector. In a move that basically says “we’ve got your back for the long haul,””the government has officially extended the initiative all the way to 2040.

So, what’s actually changing? The big headline is a new salary support package of up to Dh 3,000. This boost is specifically aimed at the children of Emirati women and the wives of Emirati citizens working in private firms. To get in on this, there’s a minimum salary threshold of Dh 6,000, making sure the support hits where it’s needed most.

But wait, there’s more. Remember the cap on child allowances? Yeah, that’s gone. The government has scrapped the limit on how many children can benefit, meaning bigger families get bigger support.

Mark your calendars:

  • New Beneficiaries: You’ll start seeing the impact in early September.
  • Existing Beneficiaries: Don’t worry, you aren’t being left out. The updates will roll out for you via a phased implementation over the next three years.

This initiative was officially announced by Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan. It’s all part of a grand plan to make the private sector the ‘place to be’ for Emiratis for decades to come.

Thinking of taking your celebration to the streets? You might want to double-check your paperwork first. Abu Dhabi Police are reminding residents that prior approval is mandatory for any celebratory parades or public gatherings in the emirate.

The message is clear: while the city loves a celebration, safety and traffic flow come first.

The permit rule: Why it matters

Authorities are stressing that obtaining a permit from the relevant entities isn’t just a formality, it’s about public safety. Proper coordination allows police to:

  • Maintain security across the district.
  • Manage traffic to prevent gridlock.
  • Protect public and private property from damage.

Risky business: What to avoid

The Directorate of Traffic and Patrols has flagged specific behaviours that are strictly off-limits, including:

  • Passengers leaning out of windows or sunroofs.
  • Stunt driving or erratic movements.
  • Blocking traffic flow for photos or videos.

The Cost of Non-Compliance

The UAE’s Federal Traffic Law doesn’t take these violations lightly. If you’re caught in an unapproved parade or driving dangerously, the penalties are steep:

Endangering the public: Driving in a way that puts people at risk carries a Dh2,000 fine, 23 black points, and the impoundment of your vehicle for 60 days.

Unapproved parades: Taking part in a parade without a permit results in a Dh500 fine, 4 black points, and a 15-day vehicle impoundment.

Residents are being urged to act responsibly and report any unauthorised or dangerous activities to the police immediately.
