Where is Al Hamra Mall, and how close is it to Al Marjan Island?
Al Hamra Mall sits inside Al Hamra Village, the waterfront community on Ras Al Khaimah’s southern coast. Isla de Al Marjan is right next door: a set of four man-made islands (Marjan means “coral” in Arabic) covering about 2.7 km² and stretching roughly 4.5 km into the Arabian Gulf, with around 7.8 km of beaches. Most visitors combine the two: they stay in a beach resort on the island and use the mall for shopping, dining and entertainment.
Interest in the area is growing ahead of the opening of Isla Wynn Al Marjan, the UAE’s first integrated resort, which is planned for 2027.
