| Distinction | The first shopping mall in Mohammed Bin Zayed City |
Mazyad Mall is built around everyday convenience rather than luxury. It serves the dense residential catchment of MBZ City and Mussafah, so the tenant mix leans practical: a full hypermarket, mid-range fashion, jewellery and gold retailers, banks and exchange houses, government-adjacent services, and a busy food court.
The mall was developed by Line Investments & Property LLC, the property arm of Lulu Group International — which explains the LuLu Express anchor. It was the first shopping mall built in Mohammed Bin Zayed City, and it still functions as the community’s high street: groceries, gold, government services and dinner, all under one roof. On Google it holds a 3.9 rating from 78 reviews — fair for a community mall rather than a tourist destination.
Where Is Mazyad Mall Located?
Mazyad Mall sits on 28th Street in Mohammed Bin Zayed City, on the Mussafah side of Abu Dhabi. Most listings give 28th Street as the address — a couple of directories print variants, so if you are navigating, search “Mazyad Mall” by name rather than typing a street number. MBZ City is a large residential community south of the main island, and the mall is roughly a 20–25 minute drive from central Abu Dhabi via the E12 highway.
The mall is easy to reach from the neighbouring communities that fill its catchment — Khalifa City A is about 10–12 minutes away, Shakhbout City 15–16 minutes, Al Raha Gardens 13 minutes, and Mussafah Industrial 10–13 minutes. If you are staying in MBZ City itself, the drive is only 5–7 minutes.

LuLu Express Hypermarket

The hypermarket opens at 8:00 AM daily and runs until midnight, covering fresh produce, groceries, household essentials and more.

Services & Facilities
Mazyad Mall doubles as a services hub for the area — many residents come for errands rather than shopping. Facilities include:
- Etisalat and du telecom stores
- LuLu Exchange and bank ATMs
- Burjeel Pharmacy
- Tad-Beer domestic workers centre
- Thrifty Car Rental
- ABC Cargo & Courier and Pet Care Trading
- Prayer room, restrooms and wheelchair access
Mohammed Bin Zayed Library
A branch of the Mohammed Bin Zayed Library sits inside the mall — a genuine differentiator. It gives students and residents of MBZ City a quiet study space steps from the food court, which partly explains why the mall draws steady weekday footfall beyond just shopping and groceries.
Entertainment & Events
For families with children, Fun City operates a kids’ play zone in the mall — rides, arcade games and soft play for younger kids. It is the mall’s main indoor entertainment for children and the reason many families plan weekend visits around it; pair it with a food-court dinner, since the dining level runs until 1:00 AM on weekends.
The mall also runs seasonal programming. Reported events include:
- Mazyad Snowland — a seasonal family event
- Winter Village — typically December 15 to January 5
- Eid Super Sale — festive-season promotions
- Mall Millionaire — a shop-and-win style campaign
Winter Village is the flagship: running from mid-December into early January, it lines up with the school holidays and the UAE’s peak outdoor season, which is when the mall is at its busiest. Eid Super Sale periods bring genuine discounts at the fashion and jewellery stores, while Mall Millionaire-style campaigns reward shoppers with prize draws. Event schedules change each year, so check the mall’s social channels or call ahead before planning a visit around a specific event.
Mazyad Mall Tower: Apartments Above the Mall
Rising above the retail levels is Mazyad Mall Tower, a residential tower with around 800 furnished apartments (822 per the developer’s reporting). It makes the mall genuinely walkable for hundreds of residents — groceries, dining and services are a lift ride away. If you are considering renting in MBZ City, the tower is worth a viewing alongside the area’s apartment blocks.
Parking
Parking is free — both shaded surface parking and basement parking — with space for roughly 1,500 cars. There is no paid or valet tier reported; all of it is free. The count covers the shaded surface lots around the building plus the basement level underneath it. On busy Friday and Saturday evenings the surface lots fill first, so head straight for the basement if you arrive after 7:00 PM on a weekend.
Nearby Landmarks & Drive Times
Mazyad Mall works well as a stop on a wider Abu Dhabi day out — it sits only 11 minutes from the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and 20 minutes from the airport, so it slots naturally into a visitor’s itinerary rather than demanding a dedicated trip. Approximate drive times:
| Destination | Approx. drive |
|---|---|
| Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque | 11 minutes |
| Wahat Al Karama | 10 minutes |
| Khalifa Park | 19 minutes |
| Abu Dhabi International Airport | 20 minutes |
| Yas Island | 25–27 minutes |
| Central Abu Dhabi (via E12) | 20–25 minutes |
If you are planning a full day in the capital, our Abu Dhabi day trip itinerary pairs the Grand Mosque, the Corniche and Yas Island into one route.
Best Time to Visit
Weekday mornings are the quietest — especially right after the 10:00 AM shop openings, when the food court and corridors are calm. Weekday evenings pick up with after-work grocery traffic at LuLu. Friday and Saturday evenings are the busiest, with families arriving for dinner and Fun City, and the building staying open until 1:00 AM on weekends to absorb the crowds. If you are combining the mall with the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, visit the mosque in the morning and the mall after lunch — the 11-minute drive between them makes the pairing easy.
Is Mazyad Mall Family-Friendly?
Yes — this is one of its clearest strengths. Free parking, a kids’ play zone, a library, a hypermarket for family groceries, and a food court with kid-pleasing chains (McDonald’s, Baskin-Robbins) make it a comfortable outing with children. The Google rating of 3.9 from 78 reviews reflects a solid community mall rather than a destination attraction — fair for what it is.
Tips for First-Time Visitors
- Arrive by 10:00 AM on weekdays if you want calm aisles and easy parking — the shops open at 10:00 AM sharp.
- Do groceries early. LuLu Express opens at 8:00 AM, so finish the weekly shop before the fashion stores open and the crowds build.
- Use the basement parking on Friday and Saturday evenings; the shaded surface lot fills first.
- Bring the kids’ homework. The Mohammed Bin Zayed Library inside the mall makes a surprisingly good study stop between shopping and dinner.
- Call ahead for events. Seasonal programming like Snowland and Winter Village changes dates each year — confirm on +971-2-553-2200 before planning around them.
