What is Ajman City Centre?
Ajman City Centre is the main community mall of Ajman, built for everyday shopping, groceries, dining and a movie night under one roof. It is run by Majid Al Futtaim, the same group behind Mall of the Emirates and the City Centre malls across the UAE, so it shares the same SHARE rewards program and VOX Cinemas standards.
The mall opened in December 1998 and went through a major AED 643 million expansion that added a new wing, more international brands and a bigger cinema, with the full redevelopment completed in 2019. Today it is calmer and easier to get around than the large Dubai malls, which is exactly why many Ajman, Sharjah and Umm Al Quwain residents prefer it for regular visits.
Ajman City Centre location and how to get there
The mall sits on Al Ittihad Street (also known as Sheikh Zayed Street, E11) in the Al Jurf 2 area of Ajman, close to Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311). This makes it easy to reach from Dubai, Sharjah and the northern emirates.
- En coche desde Dubái: take Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311) or Al Ittihad Road (E11) towards Ajman. The drive usually takes 30 to 45 minutes outside rush hour.
- By car from Sharjah: follow Al Wahda Street and Al Ittihad Road north into Ajman. The trip is usually 15 to 25 minutes.
- By car from Umm Al Quwain: drive south on Sheikh Zayed Street (E11) straight to the mall.

Cómo planificar tu visita paso a paso
- Pick your day. Monday to Thursday mornings are the quietest. Friday to Sunday evenings after 6pm are the busiest.
- Get cinema tickets first. Weekend evening shows at VOX Cinemas fill up quickly.
- Park once. Choose the entrance closest to where you will spend the most time, for example entrance C for Magic Planet.
- Shop for clothes before groceries. Leave Carrefour for last so cold items do not sit in a warm car.
- End with Magic Planet. Kids who play at the end of the trip keep the shopping part shorter.
If you’re booking a mall trip as part of a bigger UAE itinerary, a travel desk can bundle transport and tickets so you’re not juggling apps.
A quick weekday trip usually takes 1 to 2 hours, while a weekend family visit with a movie and dinner can take 3 to 4 hours.

During Ramadan, eating and drinking in public during daytime should be avoided, although many mall food outlets still serve takeaway and dine in options in designated areas.
