Lulu Hypermarket Karama sits on Sheikh Rashid Road in the heart of Al Karama — one of the most central and walkable Lulu hypermarkets in Dubai, with ADCB Metro Station only about seven minutes away on foot. Open 8:00 AM to 12:00 midnight daily, it’s the go-to full-format grocery store for Karama, Bur Dubai and Za’abeel residents. Note: Karama also has a smaller LuLu Center and a LuLu Supermarket — this guide is specifically about the hypermarket format.

- Address: Sheikh Rashid Rd, opposite Zaabeel, Al Karama, Dubai
- Phone: +971 4 334 6333 (also listed: +971 4 335 5244)

- From Bur Dubai or Oud Metha, it’s a short taxi ride or one of the many buses that run through Karama.

Hypermarket vs LuLu Center vs Supermarket — Don’t Mix Them Up
Karama has three Lulu formats, and confusing them is the most common mistake visitors make:
| Store | Location | Phone | Hours |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lulu Hypermarket Karama (this post) | Sheikh Rashid Rd, opposite Za’abeel | +971 4 334 6333 | 8:00 AM–12:00 midnight |
| LuLu Center Karama | 16th Street | +971 4 335 1415 | 9:00 AM–11:30 PM |
| LuLu Supermarket Karama | Karama | +971 4 336 7070 | 9:00 AM–11:30 PM |
The hypermarket is the full-size store: the widest grocery range, fresh food halls, electronics, homeware and fashion. The Center and Supermarket are smaller convenience-style formats. If a listing you’re following mentions 16th Street or 9:00 AM opening, that’s the smaller format — head to Sheikh Rashid Road for the hypermarket.
Opening Hours
Lulu Hypermarket Karama is open 8:00 AM to 12:00 midnight, seven days a week — this is consistent across the official listing, deal sites and Bayut.
| Day | Opening hours |
|---|---|
| Monday – Sunday | 8:00 AM – 12:00 midnight |
Remember: the smaller LuLu Center and LuLu Supermarket in Karama keep shorter hours (9:00 AM–11:30 PM). For the hypermarket, midnight closing holds daily.
Getting There
By metro
ADCB Metro Station (Red Line) is the nearest station — about a 7-minute walk to the store (one route listing shows ~9 minutes to the wider Lulu/Karama Park area, so allow a few extra minutes if you’re unfamiliar with the streets). This makes Karama one of the easiest Lulu hypermarkets in Dubai to reach without a car — unlike Lulu Hypermarket Silicon Oasis, which has no metro access at all.
By bus
Karama is well served by RTA buses. Lines 33, 44, 61, 83, C3 and C5 stop at the Karama 1 stops, roughly 3–4 minutes’ walk from the store. Other route listings also mention X25, C03 and C05 serving the area — check the RTA journey planner for the latest numbers before you travel.
By taxi or ride-hailing
Taxis queue on Sheikh Rashid Road and Karama’s main streets, and Careem/Uber pickups are easy. Ask for the hypermarket on Sheikh Rashid Road specifically, not the 16th Street Center.
Parking
Karama is a dense, older district and street parking can be tight at peak times. The hypermarket serves a heavily walk-in and bus/metro crowd — many shoppers arrive on foot or by public transport rather than by car. If you do drive, arrive outside peak evening hours for a better chance of a convenient spot, and allow extra time to park in the surrounding streets.
Departments & What’s Inside
As a city-centre hypermarket, the Karama branch carries the full Lulu range scaled to its format:
- Fresh food: produce, meat, fish and poultry sections plus bakery and dairy — the daily-shopping core for Karama’s residential community.
- Grocery: wide international selection with strong Indian, Filipino, Pakistani and Arabic ranges, matching Karama’s diverse population.
- Electronics and homeware: small appliances, mobiles and accessories, kitchenware and household essentials.
- Fashion and personal care: clothing, footwear and beauty/personal care aisles.
For the chain’s biggest flagship ranges (especially electronics), compare with the Lulu Hypermarket UAE pillar guide overview — but for weekly household shopping, Karama’s range covers it.
Weekly Offers & Savings Tips
- Check the flyer: Lulu’s “Price Smash” deals, weekend promotions and branch flyers appear on dealzbook.ae and wowdeals.me — Karama promotions are listed alongside other Dubai branches.
- Shop online too: if you live nearby, luluhypermarket.com offers scheduled and same-day delivery in Dubai — you can get the same promotions without carrying bags home on the metro.
- Evening timing: the store stays open till midnight, so a late-evening shop after the dinner rush means shorter queues at the tills.
- Karama shopping-street bonus: the area around the store (Karama Centre, Ansar Gallery nearby) is a budget-shopping district — combine your grocery run with other errands to make one trip do the work of two.
