Lulu Hypermarket Al Nahda is one of the most searched-for Lulu branches in the UAE — and also one of the most confusing. There are actually two branches sharing the “Al Nahda” name: one in Al Nahda 1, Dubai, next to Stadium Metro Station, and another on Al Ittihad Road in Al Nahda, Sharjah. This guide covers both, so you know exactly which one you are heading to.
Two Branches, One Name: Dubai vs Sharjah
Before you set your navigation or board the metro, check which Lulu Hypermarket Al Nahda you need. The Dubai branch sits in Al Nahda 1, adjacent to Stadium Metro Station on the Red Line, while the Sharjah branch is on Al Ittihad Road in the Al Nahda district of Sharjah. They are completely different stores, roughly 15 minutes’ drive apart across the emirate border.
The Dubai branch is listed by several directories as the “Al Qusais 1” store — the branch at Lulu Shopping Mall on Al Nahda Street/Oman Street in Al Qusais 1, near Stadium Metro Station, shares the same listing and phone number as the Al Nahda 1 listing. In other words, if you have been searching for the Lulu Hypermarket Al Qusais branch, the Dubai Al Nahda listing describes the same physical store. The Lulu Hypermarket Al Qusais guide covers the same location in more detail.
| Branch | Location | Phone | Hours |
|---|---|---|---|
| Al Nahda, Dubai | Al Nahda 1, next to Stadium Metro Station (also listed as Al Qusais 1, Lulu Shopping Mall) | 04 298 8880 | 8:00 AM – 12:00 AM daily* |
| Al Nahda, Sharjah | Al Ittihad Road, Al Nahda, Sharjah | 06 536 7777 | 8:00 AM – 12:00 AM daily |
*One catalogue site lists the Dubai branch as closing at 1:00 AM (Friday through Saturday) instead of midnight — sources disagree on the closing time, so check the store’s official listing before a late-night trip.
Dubai Branch: Al Nahda 1, Next to Stadium Metro Station
The Dubai Lulu Hypermarket Al Nahda branch is in Al Nahda 1, right by Stadium Metro Station on the Red Line. Localemirates lists it as “Lulu Hypermarket Al Qusais 1 Branch” at Lulu Shopping Mall, Al Nahda Street, Oman Street, Al Qusais 1 — the same store that appears on Lulu’s own store locator as “Al Nahda 1 – next to Stadium Metro Station”. This sits in the busy commercial strip between the Stadium station area and the Al Nahda border, which is why it carries both names depending on the directory.
The store carries a 4.4 rating from 107 reviews on localemirates, and shoppers praise its fresh produce section and the standard Lulu mix of Indian, Pakistani, Filipino and Middle Eastern groceries. Customer service is available on 600 540 048 (Lulu’s UAE-wide line), while the branch landline is 04 298 8880.
Sharjah Branch: Al Ittihad Road, Al Nahda
The Sharjah branch of Lulu Hypermarket Al Nahda is on Al Ittihad Road in the Al Nahda district of Sharjah — this is the Al Nahda that sits along the Dubai–Sharjah highway corridor, popular with residents of both Al Nahda Sharjah and the Dubai-side Al Nahda areas who drive across the border for lower-price shopping runs. Phones are 06 536 7777 and 06 536 7711.
MyTourWay reports free customer parking at the entrance of this branch, which matters on a corridor where parking can be a headache. Daily hours are 8:00 AM to midnight, consistent across all the listings we checked.
Opening Hours
Both Al Nahda branches follow Lulu’s standard UAE schedule: open 8:00 AM to 12:00 midnight, every day of the week. They operate on Fridays and public holidays as well — Lulu branches in the UAE rarely take a full day off, though opening hours can shift during Ramadan (typically opening later and staying open later in the evening).
One conflict to note: while Lulu’s own store listing gives the Dubai branch’s hours as 8:00 AM–12:00 AM daily, wowdeals.me lists the same branch (under its “LuLu Hypermarket, Al Qusais” entry) as 8:00 AM–1:00 AM from Saturday to Friday. We could not confirm which closing time is current, so if you are planning a trip after midnight, call the branch first on 04 298 8880.
Getting There
Dubai branch (Al Nahda 1)
- Metro: Stadium Metro Station (Red Line) is the nearest station — the store is described as “next to” the station. Al Nahda Metro Station is also on the same line, one stop away. Exact walking distance is unconfirmed in our sources, so allow a few minutes’ walk.
- Bus: Several RTA bus routes serve the Al Nahda 1/Stadium area; check the RTA journey planner for current route numbers.
- Car/taxi: The store sits on the Al Nahda Street/Oman Street corridor near the Al Qusais industrial area. On-site and nearby parking options make driving easy.
Sharjah branch (Al Ittihad Road)
- Car: Al Ittihad Road (E11) is the main Dubai–Sharjah highway, so this branch is straightforward to reach from either emirate. Free customer parking at the entrance.
- Bus: E-routes and Sharjah intercity buses run along Al Ittihad Road; expect heavy traffic during peak commuter hours.
- Taxi: Readily available on this corridor, though the Dubai–Sharjah fare applies if you are crossing the border.
Departments & What’s Inside
Both branches are full-format Lulu hypermarkets, stocking the categories Lulu is known for across the UAE:
- Fresh food: fruits and vegetables, meat and poultry, fresh fish, bakery, and dairy sections — with a strong focus on Indian, Pakistani, Filipino and Middle Eastern products.
- Grocery & pantry: rice, lentils, spices, masalas, noodles, snacks and international aisles covering dozens of nationalities.
- Household & electronics: home appliances, kitchenware, and a small electronics section with phones and accessories.
