The Rules, Plainly
Side and rear windows are commonly understood to permit tint levels up to 50% — though this may vary depending on vehicle type, factory glass, and current UAE regulations. Confirm with the RTA for your specific vehicle.
The front windscreen generally must remain clear, with only a narrow approved visor strip permitted at the very top — subject to specific exemptions.
Enforcement is reported to be automatic. Smart cameras are understood to measure tint without a manual stop — rules can be updated at any time, so always confirm current requirements at www.rta.ae before installing.
Medical exemptions may exist. A letter or certificate from a licensed ophthalmologist, submitted to the RTA, may secure a special permit for darker film — verify the current process with the RTA directly.
A 60-Second Self-Check
If you can clearly see the driver's and passengers' faces through the side windows in daylight, your tint is likely within the legal range. If the glass reads as near-opaque or mirrored, it's worth getting it measured before a camera does it for you — we'll check it for free.
