New mall opens in Dubai's Nad Al Sheba: What's in it for you

Dubai’s latest shopping hotspot, Nad Al Sheba Mall, has rolling out the red carpet.

The Dubai Media Office stated in a tweet on Thursday: “Dubai Holding Asset Management (DHAM) officially opens Nad Al Sheba Mall, a dynamic new lifestyle destination in the heart of Nad Al Sheba. With its prime location and contemporary design, the mall adds to Dubai’s position as a leading global retail hub.”

Meanwhile, netizens have shared the news of the opening, with the following bits:

Nad Al Sheba Mall isn’t just your average shopping centre — it could be next favourite hangout, fitness zone, foodie destination, and family fun factory — all under one stylish roof.

Developed by DHAM, this 500,000 sq. ft. lifestyle haven is packed with 100+ handpicked outlets spanning retail therapy, mouthwatering bites, wellness, entertainment, and even healthcare. It’s like the Avengers of mall experiences — something for everyone, assembled!

For starters, it’s got that “Dubai glow-up” look — sleek architecture, seamless indoor-outdoor flow, and yes, over 900 parking spots, so you can cruise in without the parking drama. 

Positioned near cozy communities and top schools, it’s designed to become the go-to local hangout.

And if you’re thinking, “I want more than just shopping,” buckle up.

The mall features a rooftop gym (skyline workouts, anyone?), padel courts, and even a swimming pool — yes, in a mall.

Whether you're a wellness warrior or just looking to chill, this place delivers.

The food scene is seriously tempting with crowd-faves like SALT, Parkers, and Home Bakery. 

Covered by Spinneys and Union Coop. Kids in tow? There’s Fun City and Orange Wheels to keep the little ones buzzing.

Fitness junkies can hit Go Sport or flex at Fit N Glam, while the rest of us window shop and pretend we’re joining later.

This new retail gem adds serious sparkle to Dubai Holding’s lineup, and it couldn’t come at a better time. 

With UAE’s retail market projected to skyrocket from $108.1 billion in 2024 to $139.1 billion by 2028, thanks to tourism, population growth, and economic boomtimes — Nad Al Sheba Mall is right on trend.

So whether you’re into smoothies, squats, shopping sprees, or slides, Nad Al Sheba Mall is your new neighbourhood playground. Mark your calendar, slip on your comfy shoes, and let the mall-crawl begin.
