Al Khail Mall sits on Latifa Bint Hamdan Street in Al Quoz 4, and it’s open daily, roughly 8:00 AM to midnight. It’s a mid-sized, budget-friendly community mall built around a LuLu/Grand Hyper hypermarket — not a tourist destination, and not the same place as “Al Khail Avenue” in Jumeirah Village (more on that mix-up below). If you’re heading there for groceries, gold shopping, a government-services errand, or a low-key family outing, here’s what we found after cross-checking more than a dozen sources, mall directories, and visitor reviews against each other.
We pulled directly from property blogs, mall directory listings, tenant locator pages, review aggregators, and news archives — and where sources genuinely disagreed with each other, we’re flagging it rather than presenting a single unverified number as fact. A lot of “Al Khail Mall guide” content online recycles the same handful of unverifiable claims, so we prioritized details that showed up consistently across independent sources.

Important: This Is Not “Al Khail Avenue”
This trips up a surprising number of people searching for Al Khail Mall, so it’s worth clearing up before anything else.
- Al Khail Mall (this guide) is in Al Quoz 4, developed by Al Fattan Properties, and anchored by a LuLu/Grand Hyper hypermarket. It’s a community mall.
- Al Khail Avenue is a separate, much larger project by Nakheel in Jumeirah Village Triangle (JVT), anchored by Waitrose, with a 14-screen Reel Cinemas complex and brands like H&M, Debenhams, and P.F. Chang’s operated by Alshaya — confirmed in Gulf News’ original coverage of the Reel Cinemas deal.
If a source tells you Al Khail Mall has Reel Cinemas, Waitrose, or a hotel attached, it’s very likely describing Al Khail Avenue by mistake — the two names get conflated constantly because they share the “Al Khail” name and both sit near Al Khail Road.
How to Get to Al Khail Mall
Driving
Coming via Al Khail Road (E44), exit toward Al Quoz Industrial Area 4 and follow signage for Latifa Bint Hamdan Street. This route works well from Business Bay, Al Barsha, Sheikh Zayed Road, and Downtown. One heads-up: the surrounding streets sit inside Al Quoz’s industrial and auto-workshop zone, so the approach looks more “garage district” than “shopping destination” until the mall itself comes into view. If your car needs attention while you’re already in the area, Al Quoz has one of Dubai’s densest clusters of independent garages and service centers — uaeautomotive.com lists verified workshops nearby, which is worth a look before or after your mall trip rather than picking a garage at random off the street.
Metro and Bus
There’s no metro station directly at the mall. The nearest connections require a short taxi or bus transfer, so don’t rely on walking distance from any single station. RTA’s mobile journey-planning app has changed hands a few times in recent years — the old Wojhati app is largely inactive now, with route planning folded into RTA’s S’hail app and the official RTA website. Check whichever is current before you leave, since Al Quoz feeder-bus routes shift periodically.
Taxi and Ride-Hailing
Careem and Uber both serve the address reliably, and because Al Quoz sits fairly centrally in Dubai, fares from most neighborhoods stay reasonable. This is the simplest option if you don’t want to manage a bus transfer.

Mall Timings
| Category | Typical Hours |
| General mall/shops | 8:00 AM – 12:00 AM daily |
| Hypermarket & pharmacy | Often open slightly earlier, around 8:00–8:30 AM |
| Government/Amer/visa service counters | Shorter weekday hours — don’t plan a weekend visit around these |
| Restaurants & cafés | Frequently stay open latest, especially during Ramadan and Eid |
Confirm exact hours by phone before a late-night or holiday visit — several sources note that Ramadan and Eid schedules shift and aren’t always kept current across listings.
Store & Service Directory
Groceries
- LuLu Hypermarket / Grand Hyper — the anchor tenant; groceries, fresh produce, electronics, household goods
Jewellery & Gifts
- Malabar Gold & Diamonds — ground floor; confirmed directly via Malabar’s own store locator, open until roughly 10:30 PM
- Noor Al Manar Gift Collection — watches, perfumes, souvenirs
Electronics
- East World Electronics
- Al Zubair Computers
Health & Government Services
- Aster Clinic and Aster Pharmacy
- Al Dana — visa attestation and document clearing
- Amer and Tasheel-style government service counters — mentioned by multiple independent reviewers, though hours run shorter than the general mall
Fitness
- Fitness First (separate male/female sections, per multiple sources)
- A smaller gym/spa operator, sometimes listed as Body & Soul
Dining
Independently confirmed across several sources: Lakdiva (Sri Lankan), Sayapatri Star (Nepali), Corner Buttercup (Filipino), Vezir Doner, plus a general food court. Some listings mention additional names like Biryaniwalla & Co., but we couldn’t independently verify those beyond a single source, so treat them as unconfirmed until you’re on-site.
Fashion & General Retail
A mix of mid-range regional and value fashion brands fills out the rest of the store count. Don’t expect the luxury or international flagship names some low-quality listings claim (H&M, Zara, and similar names appear, in at least one source we checked, to be confused with a different Dubai mall entirely) — this mall’s positioning is consistently described as budget-friendly and practical, not high-fashion.
Entertainment: What’s Confirmed vs. Unconfirmed
This is the area with the most conflicting information, so here’s an honest breakdown:
Reasonably well-supported:
- A children’s play area with soft-play elements (ball pits, climbing frames, slides)
- A dog play area — an unusual feature for a Dubai mall, mentioned specifically by more than one source
- Prayer rooms on each floor
Genuinely unclear:
- Cinema — several sources state the mall has an on-site cinema, but they disagree on the operator (one names VOX, another names “Star Cinemas,” and a separate, fairly detailed guide from mid-2025 describes cinema plans as still “in talks” rather than open). None of the major UAE cinema chains list an Al Khail Mall location in their own official venue directories. Our recommendation: call the mall directly before planning a trip around watching a movie there.
- Magic Planet — mentioned by a couple of sources as the mall’s family entertainment operator, but not confirmed independently through Magic Planet’s own channels.
Parking Guide
Parking is a genuine strength here, and it’s easy to underrate until you’ve dealt with an exposed surface lot at another Dubai mall in July.
- Use the underground levels — climate-controlled, so you’re not walking across a hot lot
- Wheelchair-accessible bays are available near main entrances, confirmed across multiple listings
- Parking is free — no ticketing hassle at exit
- Expect the LuLu-adjacent entrance to fill first on weekend evenings, since it’s closest to the hypermarket
- If you’re driving in from further out, it’s worth a quick pre-trip check on tires and coolant given Dubai’s summer heat — uaeautomotive.com has a directory of nearby service centers if you want a five-minute check done on the way rather than risking a breakdown on Al Khail Road
What Visitors Actually Say
Reviews are generally positive but consistent on a few specific points worth knowing before you go, based on aggregated visitor feedback on platforms like Wanderlog:
- Visitors repeatedly describe it as budget-friendly — several comparisons put it in the same tier as community malls in Sharjah or Al Ain, not with Dubai’s flagship malls
- More than one reviewer notes the mall gets busy due to proximity to nearby labor accommodation areas, which also gives it a genuinely multicultural, diverse shopping crowd
- Common praise: cleanliness, easy navigation, decent food court variety, ample free parking
- Common caveat: retail quality is described as functional rather than premium — go for convenience and daily needs, not for a shopping “experience”
Al Khail Mall vs Nearby Malls
| Feature | Al Khail Mall | Times Square Center | Oasis Mall |
| Location | Al Quoz 4 | Al Quoz | Umm Suqeim area |
| Anchor store | LuLu/Grand Hyper | Home Centre | Carrefour |
| Positioning | Budget, community-focused | Home & furniture-led | Neighborhood convenience |
| Parking | Free, underground | Free, mixed surface/covered | Free, covered |
| Cinema | Unconfirmed/disputed | No | No |
If you want a full-day retail-and-entertainment outing, Dubai Mall or Mall of the Emirates will serve you better. Al Khail Mall is built for convenience errands, not an all-day trip.
Practical Tips Checklist
- Go before 11 AM or after 8 PM to avoid the after-work and post-dinner rush at the hypermarket
- Handle Amer/visa paperwork in the morning — afternoon queues run long, and these counters keep shorter hours than the rest of the mall
- Call ahead if you’re planning around the cinema — the operator, and even the cinema’s current existence, is genuinely disputed across sources
- Park underground even for a 10-minute errand — summer surface heat makes even a short walk unpleasant
- Double-check you’re not thinking of Al Khail Avenue in JVT before you commit to a specific store or cinema you saw mentioned online
- Combine your trip with a car service stop if you’re already in Al Quoz — the neighborhood has a dense concentration of independent garages, and a directory like uaeautomotive.com can help you compare reviews and book ahead instead of guessing which workshop to use
FAQs
Is Al Khail Mall the same as Al Khail Avenue?
No, different mall, different developer, different area. Al Khail Mall is in Al Quoz 4 (Al Fattan Properties); Al Khail Avenue is in Jumeirah Village Triangle (Nakheel).
Is Al Khail Mall the same as Al Khail Gate?
Also no. Al Khail Gate is a nearby residential community, not a retail development.
What’s the closest metro station?
There’s no direct on-site metro connection. Plan for a feeder bus or short taxi ride from the nearest station, and check RTA’s S’hail app or rta.ae for current routing.
Is parking free?
Yes, both short-term and long-term parking are free, with climate-controlled underground levels.
Does Al Khail Mall have a cinema?
This is genuinely disputed across sources as of our research. Some list an operating cinema; at least one detailed 2025 guide describes cinema plans as still unconfirmed. Call the mall directly before planning a visit around it.
What’s the anchor store?
LuLu Hypermarket, also referred to in some listings as Grand Hyper.
I’m combining this trip with a longer drive out of Dubai — anything I should check first?
If you’re heading out toward the other Emirates after your mall run, a quick tire and fluid check is worth it given the heat, especially if the car hasn’t had a service recently. uaeautomotive.com lists nearby garages in Al Quoz where this kind of check takes a few minutes.
