Etihad Mall Dubai: Shops, Timings, Cinema, Food and Location (2026 Guide)

Etihad Mall is the community mall of Dubai’s Muhaisnah and Al Mizhar side — the place where families from Mirdif, Muhaisnah and Al Mizhar do the weekly shop, watch a film and run their everyday errands without crossing the city. It stands on Al Khawaneej Street with more than 120 stores across two floors, anchored by a large Union Coop hypermarket, with a seven-screen cinema, a food court, banks, a gym and clinics inside.

The mall opens at 10:00 AM every day. This guide covers its location, shops, cinema, food, services, timings and how to get there.

Where Is Etihad Mall?

Etihad Mall sits on Al Khawaneej Street (D89) in Muhaisnah 1, on the Al Mizhar side of the road — which is why so many people search for it as “Etihad Mall Mirdif”: Mirdif is the well-known residential community right next door, and most of the mall’s regulars live there or in Muhaisnah and Al Mizhar. For maps and directions, use the Muhaisnah 1 / Al Khawaneej Street location, not Mirdif itself.

By car, the mall is reached from Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311) via the Al Khawaneej Road exit, and it is clearly signposted. Nearby landmarks include Mushrif Park, Dubai Crocodile Park, Arabian Center and City Centre Mirdif, and Dubai International Airport is a short drive away. There is no metro station in Mirdif — the nearest stations are on the Green Line, and most visitors complete the trip by taxi or bus.

Shops at Etihad Mall

The Union Coop Hypermarket on the ground floor is the anchor and the biggest daily draw: a full-size cooperative hypermarket covering fresh food, household goods and everyday essentials for the surrounding neighbourhoods.

Around it, the mall’s 120-plus stores cover the practical mix a community mall needs: fashion and footwear, electronics, cosmetics and perfumes, jewellery and accessories, baby products and toys, stationery, gifts and flowers, and optical shops. Kiosks through the walkways add smaller finds — accessories, snacks and seasonal goods.

The mix is deliberately everyday rather than luxury. Etihad Mall is where the neighbourhood actually shops week to week, and the store list reflects that.

Cinema and Family Time

A seven-screen cinema inside the mall makes Etihad Mall the local film stop for Mirdif and Muhaisnah families — no trip to a mega-mall needed for a Friday movie. Children’s entertainment, including the Kiddieville play offering listed among the mall’s tenants, plus the toy and baby stores, make it an easy family outing: film, food court, and the weekly shop in one visit.

Food at Etihad Mall

The food court sits on the ground floor near the main entrance, with fast-food and casual counters for a quick family meal. The mall’s own listing counts a small set of food-court restaurants, several coffee shops and a dine-in restaurant — Pizza de Pisa is a named local favourite for Italian. Coffee shops double as the neighbourhood’s meeting points through the day, and the Union Coop food aisles cover take-home meals and bakery runs.

It is a modest food offering next to the giant malls, but it matches how locals use the place: a meal wrapped around a film or the grocery run, not a destination food tour.

Services: Banks, Gym, Clinics and Errands

What keeps Etihad Mall busy on weekdays is its services. Two Islamic banks — Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank (ADIB) and Dubai Islamic Bank — have branches inside, alongside money exchanges. Gold’s Gym covers fitness, and the mall lists health clubs, clinics and pharmacies among its tenants, plus salons and personal-care services.

Good to know: Etihad Mall is a one-stop errand run for the Mirdif–Muhaisnah side of Dubai: the Union Coop weekly shop, a bank visit, a pharmacy stop and a film can all happen in one trip — and Thursday and Friday evenings run to midnight. Tenant hours vary, so call ahead for a specific clinic or service.

Timings

Detail	Info
Mall — Saturday to Wednesday	10:00 AM – 10:00 PM
Mall — Thursday and Friday	10:00 AM – 12:00 AM
Union Coop Hypermarket	Hypermarket hours run longer than the mall’s — check in store for the day’s closing time
Cinema	Showtimes run into the late evening; check the day’s listings

Individual tenant hours may differ from the mall’s, and hours can shift during Ramadan and public holidays. If you are coming for one specific store or a time-sensitive appointment, a quick call ahead is worth it.

Why Locals Use It

Etihad Mall works because it knows its neighbourhood. It will never out-spectacle the Dubai Mall, and it does not try to: its job is to be the dependable local centre for Mirdif, Muhaisnah and Al Mizhar — groceries, banking, a gym, a clinic, a pharmacy and a cinema under one roof, with shaded parking out front and midnight closing on Thursday and Friday nights. For the families around Al Khawaneej Street, that is exactly the mall they need.
