Sharjah Central

Sharjah Central is a two-level retail and leisure destination designed to elevate the shopping experience for the surrounding communities of Sharjah. Strategically located just north of Sharjah Cricket Stadium in the residential hub of Al Samnan, the mall is easily accessible from key areas including Al Ghubaiba, Al Shahba, Al Khezamia, Al Tala’a, Mughaidir Suburb, Wasit Suburb, and Sharjah Cultural Square. With direct access from Sharjah University and close proximity to Sharjah International Airport, it serves as a well-connected commercial and lifestyle hub.

The design concept of Sharjah Central draws inspiration from the traditional wooden ‘Abra’ boats still seen crossing Dubai Creek. These boats, known for their simplicity and cultural resonance, represent the blend of old and new that defines the UAE. The triangular canopy of the Abra serves as a distinctive architectural feature throughout the mall, from the roofline to internal spatial elements. This motif adds both aesthetic character and functional shading, paying homage to tradition while supporting the needs of a modern retail environment.

With a mix of international and regional brands, a hypermarket, entertainment anchors, and generous parking provisions, Sharjah Central is designed to meet the evolving expectations of today’s shopper. Sustainability principles have also been integrated into the development, ensuring long-term operational efficiency and environmental responsibility.

Sharjah Central stands as a landmark retail and leisure project that pays homage to the region’s past while embracing its dynamic future, a place where heritage is not just preserved, but celebrated through design.
