Al Khawaneej Mall opens in Dubai: New Union Coop location
Listen up, shoppers. A brand new mall has just opened in Dubai.
Al Khawaneej Mall has officially opened in Al Khawaneej 2 and brings a new hypermarket, new retail and plenty of parking spaces.
Spread over a space of approximately 70,000 square feet, the new mall features a mix of outlets, a children's nursery and an ENOC service station.
First announced in June 2023, the mall has now been formally inaugurated following the opening of Union Coop.
The mall has been built in accordance with international standards for green buildings, using eco-friendly materials and construction techniques.

Money generated from the complex will be used to cover the expenses of 50 mosques.
As part of Dubai's 'Mosques Endowment' campaign, Dhs8 million of the mall's annual revenue will be set aside to support the places of worship.
The latest technologies to generate, save, and recycle energy have been included in the construction of the mall. The aim of this green approach is to improve the quality of the environment within the mall and reduce negative impacts on the ecosystem.

The mall's design emphasises comfort, natural flow, and user-centric functionality. The layout incorporates open circulation paths, natural lighting elements, and minimalist aesthetics, enhancing both shopper convenience and visual appeal.
Union Coop CEO Mohammed Al Hashemi described the project as more than a mall.
He said: 'The project is much more than just a shopping centre or a mall, but a thoughtfully designed social-retail space, which seeks to offer an exceptional customer experience that aligns with the state-of-the-art Dubai standard.
'The architectural style is flexible, family-centric and people-friendly.'
