Car enthusiasts will be able to bid for Dubai number plates at an auction on March 12, the emirate's Road and Transport Authority said.
The 'super number plates' AA90 and M73 will be among the 90 premium plates that will go under the hammer at RTA's 109th open auction.
Plates on offer will be two, three, four and five digits with AA-I-J-K-L-M-N-O-P-Q-R-S-T-U-V-W-X-YZ codes.
The event will be held at the Ritz-Carlton Dubai Hotel at 4.30pm on Saturday.
Registrations opened on Monday and bidders can sign up through the www.rta.ae website or through RTA's Customer Happiness Centres in Umm Al Ramool, Deira and Al Barsha.
It can also be done at the bidding hall from 2pm on the day of the event.
Bidders have to pay a non-refundable auction fee of Dh120 ($32).
Due to limited seats, priority will be given to bidders who have a traffic file in Dubai and have deposited a Dh25,000 security cheque to RTA.
RTA sold 100 plates and raised Dh36.548m at its previous auction on December 19, 2021.
Plate Z 31 was sold for Dh2,820,000 and V10000 for Dh920,000.
W500 and O66666 each fetched Dh840,000.
Car number plates garner huge interest among motoring enthusiasts in the UAE. In 2016, Indian businessman Balwinder Sahni paid Dh33 million for plate D5, thought to be the world's most expensive sale.

Tearful appearance
Chancellor Rachel Reeves set markets on edge as she appeared visibly distraught in parliament on Wednesday.
Legislative setbacks for the government have blown a new hole in the budgetary calculations at a time when the deficit is stubbornly large and the economy is struggling to grow.
She appeared with Keir Starmer on Thursday and the pair embraced, but he had failed to give her his backing as she cried a day earlier.
A spokesman said her upset demeanour was due to a personal matter.
