As of July 24, 2026, Brent crude oil is trading at approximately $85 per barrel, well below the $100 mark that previously triggered fuel price increases in the UAE. The UAE Fuel Price Committee is set to announce August 2026 petrol and diesel rates on July 28, 2026.
Analysts predict no significant rise, as global oil supply remains stable and demand concerns persist due to economic slowdowns in major economies. The UAE, a major OPEC member, has maintained steady production levels.
In July 2026, Super 98 petrol was priced at AED 3.15 per liter, Special 95 at AED 3.03, and diesel at AED 2.95. These rates are expected to continue into August, barring any sudden geopolitical disruptions.
Motorists in the UAE have benefited from relatively stable fuel costs since early 2026, following a period of volatility in 2025. The government's monthly price review mechanism ensures alignment with global markets.
