    seems there must be even more expensive places but............. USD 109 (AED 400) seems steep

    the guy parking the car might earn that in a week, so no excuse for the high cost of labour

    Dubai Mall is chaotic on weekends and if you have money to burn, maybe it is worth the convenience :eek:

    there is a VIP or VVIP option for many things in the UAE, people definitely are prepared to pay for it

    I'm sure the valet parking includes a full detail, stock your car with champagne, installation of a satellite radio, etc!

    I guess it doesn't look that bad to me being that I used to park in midtown Manhattan? :)

    There are places around Park Ave and in the touristy parts that would easily charge you $65-70 for any 12 hour period (more if you have an SUV).

    I would figure considering the location and the kind of cars that you're bound to park in the VIP section, $100 is a steal.
