You use this phrase exactly like you would in English. You can say it to a security guard at a mall. You can ask a friend before driving to their house. You can even shout it out the window to a parking attendant (the 'Sayes'). Just add a questioning tone at the end. It is a complete thought on its own. No fancy grammar is required here.

Use it whenever you are behind the wheel. Use it when calling a restaurant to make a reservation. It is perfect for texting a friend to see if you should take an Uber instead. If you see a crowded street, ask a local this to find the secret hidden lots. It is a survival phrase for the urban jungle.

Do not use this in a desert or a rural village. People might look at you funny because parking is everywhere. Avoid using arabiyat in very formal Modern Standard Arabic settings; use sayarat instead. Also, do not use it if you are looking for a bus stop. That is a different kind of mawqif entirely. It is strictly for private vehicles.

In many Arab cities, parking is a competitive sport. There is a whole informal economy around it. You will often meet a 'Sayes'—a man who manages street parking. He might look unofficial, but he is the king of the curb. Asking this phrase starts a negotiation with him. It is the first step in the dance of urban navigation. It reflects the crowded, social nature of city life.

In the Gulf, you might say Fi mawagif lil-sayarat?. The 'g' sound replaces the 'q'. In the Levant, you might hear Fi parking? because English loanwords are common. In Egypt, arabiyat is king. You can also shorten it to just Fi makan? which means 'Is there a space?'. All of these will get you to the same goal: a safe spot for your ride.
