Today, the UAE's fuel price committee will announce fuel prices for July.
After the UAE decided to align local fuel prices with global oil rates in August 2015, the committee releases new fuel rates for the following month in the last week of the month.
On May 31, the committee announced fuel rates for June. At AED 4 per liter, these were the highest prices in UAE history. After the price hike, long lines of motorists gathered at petrol stations in the late evening to fill their cars' tanks before the date changed to June 1.
