Dalma Mall is one of Abu Dhabi’s underrated shopping gems. Located on the outskirts of the city near Mussafah, it offers a well-balanced mix of shopping, dining, and entertainment options without the overwhelming crowds of some of the city’s larger malls.
The mall houses a solid range of international and regional brands—everything from H&M and Marks & Spencer to local boutiques and specialty shops. It’s also home to a Carrefour hypermarket, which is a big plus for one-stop shopping.
One of Dalma’s standout features is how family-friendly it is. The entertainment options are great, with a large cinema (Cine Royal), Fun City for kids, and plenty of casual eateries. There’s even a bowling alley, which adds to its appeal as a hangout spot.
Parking is generally easy to find, and the mall is clean and well-maintained. While it might not have the glitz of Yas Mall or The Galleria, Dalma’s relaxed vibe, convenient layout, and variety make it a strong contender for everyday shopping and family outings.
Pros:
• Good mix of stores and dining options
• Family-friendly with cinema and play areas
• Ample parking
• Less crowded than central malls
