ABU DHABI – The United Arab Emirates has announced new fuel prices for July 2026, with revised rates set to come into effect from July 1. The updated prices come after four consecutive months of increases and show a decline across petrol and diesel categories compared with June rates. Under the new pricing structure, Super 98 petrol will be available at Dh3.40 per litre, down from Dh3.95 per litre in June. The price of Special 95 petrol has been set at Dh3.29 per litre, compared with the previous rate of Dh3.83 per litre. Meanwhile, E-Plus 91 petrol will cost Dh3.21 per litre, lower than its earlier price of Dh3.76 per litre. Diesel prices have also been reduced, with the new rate fixed at Dh3.60 per litre compared with Dh4.33 per litre previously. The revision follows a decline in global crude oil prices, which had raised expectations of lower fuel costs for July. Fuel prices in the UAE are reviewed regularly, and monthly changes can directly affect household expenses due to the important role of fuel in daily transportation and living costs. The new rates will remain applicable from July 1, 2026, according to the announced pricing schedule.
