Quick note: Al Murad Mall is located in Ajman, not Abu Dhabi or Dubai. This guide covers its correct emirate for accuracy.
Since opening in 2020, Al Murad Mall has established itself as one of Ajman’s most dependable, everyday shopping destinations. Part of the well-known Al Murad Group, it prioritises functionality, affordability, and easy access over luxury branding — a formula that’s made it a genuine favourite among local residents rather than a tourist-focused attraction.
Where Is Al Murad Mall Located?
Al Murad Mall is located in the heart of Ajman, in the Al Nuaimiyah 3 area, a comfortable 7-minute drive from the city centre. It benefits from close proximity to Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Street, the main artery running through Ajman, and is easily accessible from both the E11 and Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311).
The mall is strategically positioned minutes away from Ajman Corniche, roughly 20 minutes from Sharjah Airport, and situated in the heart of Ajman’s densely populated residential area — placing it firmly within reach of a large local customer base. It’s also located close to Ajman Television and Ajman Independent Studios.
Shops and Stores: What’s Inside
Al Murad Mall is a single-level shopping destination with over 26 stores, designed specifically to allow constant customer flow with easy access to the food court and hypermarket. Despite its relatively compact scale, the mall offers a massive selection of fashion brands, banking services, optometrists, home items, and more — with shopping areas segregated by category to maximise convenience for visitors.
Carrefour anchors the mall’s grocery and hypermarket offering, giving residents a reliable, well-known option for everyday shopping. Beyond groceries, the mall’s tenant mix includes Al Mefhal Optical, Al Ansari Exchange, Al Manara Pharmacy, Siemat Jewellery, Mobigo Mobile Phones Trading LLC, and Dar Aldahab Gold and Jewellery. Grooming and beauty services are represented by Son and Dad Gents Saloon and Prince Moonoora Beauty Salon, while The Lab Mohamed Atef covers toys and games for younger shoppers.
Dining options include Papa Johns, Crispy Chicky, Al Narng Juice, Mandarin Ice Cream, Papa Kumpir Cafe, and other casual outlets like The Bros LLC and Jamilz — a solid mix of fast food and quick bites for a casual meal during a shopping trip. For entertainment, Sprinkles offers the ultimate in family entertainment within the mall, giving parents a place to keep kids occupied while running errands. Practical amenities round out the experience, including customer service desks, parking information support, and prayer rooms.
The mall’s overall focus is squarely on affordability, convenience, and easy access rather than competing with larger luxury malls — a reflection of a broader UAE retail trend where shoppers increasingly favour purchasing goods faster and more easily at a lower price than spending hours navigating large mega-malls.
