Lulu Hypermarket Al Rayyan Mall is a ~100,000 sq ft flagship in Al Rayyan Mall, Al Nahda Street, Al Nahda, Sharjah — and despite the familiar name, this is Sharjah, NOT Qatar. Inaugurated by Sharjah’s Crown Prince as Lulu’s 9th branch in Sharjah and 168th globally, it is open daily from 8:00 AM to midnight and serves the Al Nahda corridor on both sides of the Dubai–Sharjah border.
Sharjah, Not Qatar — Get the Right Al Rayyan
This trips people up: Lulu also has Al Rayyan branches in Qatar (listed on luluhypermarket.com’s Qatar site), but the Al Rayyan Mall branch this guide covers is in Sharjah, UAE: Al Rayyan Mall, Al Nahda Street, Al Nahda, Al Qusais Industrial Area 3, Sharjah. Propertyfinder.ae’s blog, dealzbook.ae, wowdeals.me and waze.com all agree on the Sharjah address. If your navigation shows Qatar, you have the wrong listing.
The phone number is 06 555 1000, consistent across all four sources.
The Inauguration & the Scale
This branch arrived with ceremony: Sharjah’s Crown Prince inaugurated the store (per luluretail.com), marking Lulu’s 9th hypermarket in Sharjah and its 168th worldwide. At roughly 100,000 square feet, it is one of the largest Lulu floors in the Northern Emirates, built to serve Al Nahda’s dense residential population on both the Sharjah and Dubai sides of the border.
That scale is the branch’s defining feature — wider aisles, deeper category ranges and a bigger fresh-food hall than the typical community store. If you do a serious weekly shop, this is the Sharjah branch to pick.
Opening Hours
Lulu Hypermarket Al Rayyan Mall is open every day from 8:00 AM to 12:00 midnight, with all sources agreeing. It runs on Fridays and public holidays; hours may adjust during Ramadan.
Getting There
Al Nahda Street places the mall on the Dubai–Sharjah corridor, minutes from the Al Nahda 1 area of Dubai:
- Car: the mall is on Al Nahda Street in the Al Qusais Industrial Area 3 zone of Sharjah. Mall parking serves the hypermarket; expect it to fill on weekend evenings.
- Bus: there is no metro in Sharjah, so bus and taxi are the public-transport options — intercity and city buses run along Al Nahda Street and the E11 corridor.
- Taxi: from Dubai’s Al Nahda 1 area the ride is short; the Dubai–Sharjah fare applies.
- From Dubai Al Nahda: Stadium Metro Station (Red Line) gets you close on the Dubai side — the Lulu Hypermarket Al Nahda Dubai branch is right by it — then take a taxi across for the Sharjah store.
Departments & What’s Inside
The 100,000 sq ft floor hosts Lulu’s full departmental range:
- Fresh food hall: produce, fresh fish, meat and poultry, bakery, dairy — scaled up for the flagship format.
- Grocery & pantry: the full Indian, Pakistani, Filipino and Arab grocery ranges, plus international aisles.
- Appliances & electronics: home appliances, phones and accessories.
- Fashion, footwear & toys: Lulu’s in-house departments, roomier than at community branches.
- Household & kitchen: deep cookware, home-care and furnishing ranges.
- Services: kerbside pickup and delivery are standard — confirm availability for this branch on luluhypermarket.com.

Lulu’s 9th Sharjah Branch: What 100,000 Sq Ft Gets You
To put the scale in perspective: most community Lulu branches run a fraction of this floor area. At roughly 100,000 sq ft, the Al Rayyan Mall store is built for the serious weekly shop — wider fresh-food halls, deeper category ranges and the kind of bulk and variety that smaller branches cannot stock. When Sharjah’s Crown Prince inaugurated it as the brand’s 9th Sharjah branch and 168th globally, the message was clear: this is a flagship for the Northern Emirates, not just another neighbourhood store.
Practically, that means:
- Range depth: more SKUs per category — more rice varieties, more spice brands, more imported lines.
- Fresh food scale: bigger produce, fish and bakery displays with higher turnover (and therefore fresher stock).
- Promotional anchors: large-format branches like this one typically anchor Lulu’s big seasonal campaigns — anniversary sales, Ramadan bundles and back-to-school promotions.
Cross-Border Shopping From Dubai
The branch’s position on the Dubai–Sharjah corridor makes it a genuine cross-border option for Dubai residents in Al Nahda 1, Al Qusais and Muhaisnah:
- The trade-off: a short taxi ride across the border (the Dubai–Sharjah fare applies) in exchange for the flagship’s range and Sharjah-side promotions.
- The metro leg: take the Red Line to Stadium or Al Nahda station on the Dubai side — the Dubai Al Nahda Lulu is right by Stadium — then taxi the final stretch into Sharjah.
- Traffic timing matters: the E11 corridor clogs during morning and evening peaks. Mid-morning and mid-afternoon are the smoothest windows for the cross-border trip.
Al Nahda Street: A Two-Emirate Shopping Corridor
Al Nahda Street is unusual — the “Al Nahda” name exists on both sides of the border, with Dubai’s Al Nahda 1 and Sharjah’s Al Nahda facing each other across the E11. That is why the disambiguation in this guide matters so much: the Dubai Al Nahda branch (Stadium metro, 04 298 8880) and the Sharjah Al Rayyan Mall branch (Al Nahda Street, 06 555 1000) serve the same corridor from opposite sides. Knowing which one you are heading to saves a wasted trip — check the phone code (04 vs 06) on any listing before you leave.
