Lulu Hypermarket Al Warqa: Location & Timings

Lulu Hypermarket Al Warqa serves one of Dubai’s most densely populated residential districts from 21 Street, next to Hamdan Bin Rashid Secondary School in Al Warqa 2. Open daily from 8:00 AM to midnight, it combines a full hypermarket floor with kerbside pickup and home delivery — and with no metro nearby, the bus and the car are the way to get there.

Location & How to Find It

The branch address is consistent across every directory we checked: 21 Street, next to Hamdan Bin Rashid Secondary School, Al Warqa 2, Dubai. bestthings.ae, waze, foodbevg.com, emarat.directory, localemirates and hiDubai all agree, so you can navigate with confidence. The school is the landmark to look for — the Lulu sits right by it, with Future International Nursery and Hamdan Bin Rashid Boys School also nearby per hiDubai.

The store carries a 4.2 rating from 3,114 reviews on bestthings.ae, a strong score for a community branch serving the Al Warqa villas and apartments. The branch phone is 04 222 2135.

Opening Hours

Lulu Hypermarket Al Warqa is open daily from 8:00 AM to 12:00 midnight, according to bestthings.ae, waze and emarat.directory. One note of caution: localemirates lists this branch’s hours as 8:00 AM–10:00 PM, which we believe is stale — but since the two listings disagree, it is worth calling 04 222 2135 before a late-evening trip if you plan to arrive close to midnight.

As with all Lulu UAE branches, the store operates on Fridays and public holidays. During Ramadan, hours typically shift (later opening, later closing), so confirm on the day.

Getting There — No Metro, But Plenty of Options

Al Warqa is one of the few Dubai districts with no metro station nearby, so public-transport shoppers need to plan around the bus. The good news: the branch is a genuine neighbourhood store — most customers live within a 5–10 minute drive.

• Car: 21 Street in Al Warqa 2 is easy to reach from Al Warqa 1/3, Mirdif and the Dubai–Hatta corridor. Free on-site parking for customers.
• Bus: RTA buses serve the Al Warqa area; the school landmark (Hamdan Bin Rashid Secondary School) is the stop to aim for. moovitapp.com maintains a transit page for Lulu Hypermarket Dubai — check current route numbers before you travel, as routes change.
• Taxi/Careem: readily available across Al Warqa, Mirdif and Rashidiya.
• Kerbside pickup: order ahead and collect without leaving your car — ideal if you are passing through Al Warqa on a school run.

Departments & What’s Inside

This is a community-format hypermarket rather than a mall flagship, but it covers the full Lulu range:

• Fresh food: fruit and vegetables, fresh fish, meat and poultry, bakery, and dairy — stocked for the neighbourhood’s mix of Emirati, Arab and South Asian families.
• Grocery & pantry: rice, flour, lentils, spices, oils and international aisles.
• Household: cleaning, home care and basic electronics.
• Services: in-store shopping, kerbside pickup and home delivery are all available.

Weekly Offers & Savings Tips

Al Warqa shoppers tend to be weekly planners rather than impulse buyers — and Lulu rewards that style:

• Check the catalogues: wowdeals.me and dealzbook.ae carry Lulu Al Warqa’s deal flyers; yourdubaiguide.com also runs a dedicated Al Warqa page (though it is old and thin).
• Bulk staples: the rice, flour and oil aisles usually carry the deepest per-kilo discounts — the items families buy most.
• Delivery for the big shop: home delivery means you can stock a villa without loading the car yourself.
• Lulu Happiness loyalty card: earn points on every purchase, redeemable at every Lulu Hypermarket branch in the UAE.
• Quiet times: weekday mornings are calmest; Thursday and Friday evenings are the busiest, especially during the school term.

Nearby Branches & Alternatives

Al Warqa is surrounded by strong alternatives if this branch is packed:

• Lulu Hypermarket Rashidiya — on 33A Street near Al Rashidiya Police Station, with the Red Line terminus nearby.
• Lulu Hypermarket Arabian Center — the mall-based option in nearby Mirdif.
• Lulu Hypermarket Al Nahda — the Stadium metro-adjacent Dubai branch, if you want to combine shopping with a metro trip.
• Lulu Hypermarket Festival City — the big mall option across Dubai Creek.

Al Warqa 2: A True Neighbourhood Store

Al Warqa is a villa-and-apartment district of families, schools and nurseries — Future International Nursery and Hamdan Bin Rashid Boys School sit within the branch’s immediate orbit, per hiDubai. That shapes the store’s character: it is built for the twice-weekly family top-up rather than the destination mall trip. The 4.2 rating from 3,114 reviews is one of the stronger scores among Dubai’s community-format Lulu branches, and it reflects exactly that — reliability, proximity and consistency rather than spectacle.

The school-run rhythm also defines the store’s busy periods. Weekday mornings after drop-off and afternoons before pickup see parent shoppers; Thursday and Friday evenings belong to the big family shops. If you want empty aisles and the freshest produce displays, weekday mornings are the window.

Planning a Bus Trip to Lulu Al Warqa

With no metro nearby, the bus is the public-transport route to this branch — and it is workable if you plan around the school landmark:

1. Set your destination as Hamdan Bin Rashid Secondary School on 21 Street — the Lulu is right next to it, and bus stops near schools are the easiest to find.
2. Check moovitapp.com’s Lulu Hypermarket Dubai transit page for current route numbers before travelling — RTA routes in Al Warqa change periodically.
3. Allow extra time on school days: buses through Al Warqa 2 run slower around school start and end times.
4. For the return trip with heavy bags, the kerbside pickup service is the smarter play — order ahead, drive or taxi in, and load without carrying.

When to Visit & When to Skip

• Best: weekday mornings (quiet, fresh produce, short queues) and mid-afternoons.
• Busiest: Thursday and Friday evenings, the first weekend of the month (payday window), and the back-to-school period when the area’s schools reopen.
• Ramadan note: like all Lulu branches, hours shift during the holy month — typically opening later and staying open later. Call 04 222 2135 to confirm during Ramadan.
