- Address: Silicon Central Mall, Al Ain–Dubai Rd (E66), Dubai Silicon Oasis, Dubai
- Phone: +971 4 372 5000
Navigation tips:
- Set your satnav or ride-hailing app to “Silicon Central Mall, Dubai Silicon Oasis” — the mall is signposted from the E66 and hard to miss.
- If you’re coming from Dubai Academic City or the DSO residential zones (Cedre Villas, Oasis residential towers), the drive is roughly 10–15 minutes.
- From International City or Warsan, allow 15–20 minutes via the E44 or E66 depending on traffic.
- Lulu is the primary anchor of the mall — once inside, follow the anchor signage; the store spans a huge portion of the ground and lower levels.
Opening Hours
Most sources list the store as open 8:00 AM to 12:00 midnight, seven days a week. One listing (uaetiming) reports 8:00 AM to 1:00 AM — so if you’re planning a very late visit, it is worth calling +971 4 372 5000 to confirm before you drive over.
| Day | Opening hours |
|---|---|
| Monday – Sunday | 8:00 AM – 12:00 midnight* |
*One source lists 8:00 AM – 1:00 AM; confirm for late-night visits.
Note that the mall hours differ from the hypermarket’s: Silicon Central Mall itself generally opens 10:00 AM–10:00 PM Sunday to Thursday and 10:00 AM–midnight Friday and Saturday. The Lulu store opens earlier (8:00 AM), which is handy for a morning grocery run before the rest of the mall wakes up.
Getting There
By car
Driving is by far the easiest way to reach this store. Take the Al Ain–Dubai Road (E66) and follow signs for Dubai Silicon Oasis / Silicon Central Mall. Parking is free — the mall offers roughly 3,300–3,500 parking spaces, including basement parking and EV charging points, so you will rarely struggle to find a spot even at peak hours.
By metro
There is no metro station in Dubai Silicon Oasis. The nearest station is Centrepoint Metro Station (Red Line, formerly Rashidiya), which is about a 25–30 minute drive from the mall. From there you would need a taxi or ride-hailing car to complete the trip — realistically, this store is a driving destination.
By bus
RTA buses serve the DSO area, but routes and frequencies change, so check the RTA journey planner before setting out. For most shoppers, a car or Careem/Uber ride is the practical option.
By taxi or ride-hailing
Taxis and Careem/Uber operate freely in the area. Ask for “Silicon Central Mall, Dubai Silicon Oasis” — drivers know it. Typical fares from International City or Academic City are modest given the short distance.
How Big Is Lulu Silicon Oasis?
This is one of Dubai’s biggest Lulu stores. One source reports the store at approximately 184,000 sq ft (~17,094 m²) — which would place it among the top three largest Lulus in the emirate. Another source describes the Silicon Central flagship as 9,000 sqm (≈96,875 sq ft). Figures vary by source, so treat them as approximate — but whichever you take, the store is enormous by normal hypermarket standards, with wide aisles and full departmental coverage across fresh food, groceries, electronics, homeware, fashion and more.
Departments & What’s Inside
Because of its flagship size, the Silicon Oasis store carries an unusually broad range:
- Fresh food: fruits, vegetables, fresh meat, fish and poultry sections; bakery and dairy aisles with a large imported range.
- Grocery: a deep international selection, including a strong Indian, Filipino and Arabic grocery offering that suits DSO’s mixed community.
- Electronics: televisions, home appliances, mobiles and accessories — worth comparing with prices at the other Lulu Hypermarket Al Qusais electronics section if you are hunting a big-ticket item.
- Home & fashion: homeware, kitchenware, clothing, footwear and luggage.
- Baby & health: baby care, pharmacy-type essentials and personal care.
Services: Delivery, Recycling & More
- Same-day delivery: the store supports Lulu’s same-day delivery service, so you can order online and have groceries arrive the same day — useful if you don’t want to brave the drive twice.
- Metal-can recycling and plastic-bag recycling: the store runs recycling services, fitting for a mall built with sustainability (LEED) credentials.
- Online shopping: as with all UAE branches, you can shop the full catalogue at luluhypermarket.com — see the Lulu Hypermarket UAE pillar guide for how online ordering works across the chain.
Weekly Offers & Savings Tips
- Check the flyer before you go: Lulu runs “Price Smash” promotions, weekend deals and branch-specific flyers on sites like dealzbook.ae and wowdeals.me. A five-minute check before a big shop can save a meaningful amount.
- Go early on weekdays: like other Lulu Hypermarket Festival City–style flagship branches, this store gets busy on Friday and Saturday evenings. Weekday mornings are calmest for a full trolley shop.
- Combine with the mall: because Lulu is the anchor, you can knock out grocery shopping plus dining or errands (pharmacy, banking) in one trip — saving a second drive out to DSO.
- Electronics and appliances: flagship stores often carry the widest electronics range; compare the deal against the flyer price before paying full shelf price.
What Else Is in Silicon Central Mall?
The hypermarket is the main reason most people visit, but the mall itself adds value to the trip:
- Secondary anchor: Brands for Less.
- Dining: 30+ dining outlets, including well-known names such as Barbeque Nation, so the store is easy to pair with a family lunch or dinner.
- Other retail and services: fashion, lifestyle and service outlets fill out the mall floors.
