The Village Mall (also known simply as The Village) is set to bring modern community living, shopping, dining and recreation together in Sharjah. Developed by Aldah Group under the leadership of Founder H.E. Abdulla Sultan Aldah, this 360-degree lifestyle destination is scheduled to open in late 2026 along Maliha Road in the Al Seyouh suburb.
Designed as a vibrant hub for families, sports enthusiasts and shoppers, The Village Mall combines over 200 retail outlets with entertainment, culinary experiences and sports facilities under one roof.
As the newest mall in Sharjah, The Village is aimed squarely at the fast-growing communities of Al Suyoh, Masaar and Tilal City. This guide covers where it is, what’s inside, how it differs from Al Shaab Village and what living nearby looks like.

To accommodate visitors comfortably, the complex features 1,500 shaded parking spaces along with on-site car wash services.

What to expect at The Village Mall
The Village is built around distinct experience zones, each with its own focus.
Sharjah’s largest Olympic-standard ice rink
One of the mall’s flagship attractions is an 1,800 square-metre Olympic-standard ice arena. Designed for public ice skating, professional athletic training and competitive events, it stands out as the largest ice rink in the emirate.
The surface is built to IIHF specifications, so it can host ice hockey and figure skating as well as public sessions. There are spectator stands for families, skate rentals and safety gear on site, and programmes from learn-to-skate sessions to national competitions. For anyone into ice skating, Sharjah has never had a rink on this scale. Session timings and prices will be announced closer to opening.
Fact-check note: IIHF spec, spectator stands, rentals, learn-to-skate and competitions from thevillage.ae/discover-item/the-ice-rink. No ticket price or session times published yet.
Aldah Sports Academy (rooftop sports complex)
Occupying the rooftop of The Village is an integrated sports and wellness centre offering 8 facilities, including:
- A full-size artificial turf football court
- Two padel tennis courts
- A rooftop swimming pool
- Two fully equipped gyms
- A rooftop jogging track
- Multi-sport courts for basketball, volleyball and handball
Membership pre-registration is set to open before launch, with individual, family and corporate packages.
The Outlet: premium retail hub
Spanning 12,000 square metres, The Outlet zone houses 216 premium retail units. Visitors will find a curated mix of fashion, beauty and lifestyle brands, offering a major outlet shopping experience within Sharjah.
If you’re looking for The Village outlet specifically, expect apparel for men, women and children, skincare and fragrance, home décor and accessories such as bags and watches, with promotional pricing on display year-round.
The Food Hub and The Terrace
Dining is a core pillar of The Village, catered through distinct culinary destinations:
- The Food Hub: An indoor multi-cuisine dining zone featuring 10+ restaurant options and 4+ cafés, highlighting regional and global flavours including Arabic, Turkish, Iranian and Italian cuisines.
- The Terrace: An open-air outdoor lifestyle space hosting seasonal events, pop-up concepts and food stalls throughout the year.
The Food Hub sits on the ground floor and works much like a food hall, mixing full restaurants, cafés and kiosks with communal seating. The Terrace adds landscaped green areas, shaded seating and evening lighting, which makes it a good spot for family evenings once the weather cools.
Anchor tenant: Carrefour Hypermarket
For everyday convenience and grocery shopping, the mall features a 3,000 square-metre Carrefour Hypermarket serving the surrounding Al Seyouh and broader Sharjah community.
The Village’s hypermarket is on the ground floor and covers fresh produce, a bakery, dairy and frozen food, household essentials and baby products. For residents of Al Suyoh and Tilal City, this village hypermarket means a big grocery run without driving into central Sharjah. Carrefour’s timings at The Village will be announced at opening.
The Convenience Hub
Also on the ground floor, The Convenience Hub brings five daily services into one place:
- Life Pharmacy
- A walk-in medical clinic
- Banking services, including multi-bank ATMs
- Currency exchange
- Telecom counters for e&, du and Virgin Mobile
Is The Village Mall the same as Al Shaab Village?
No. Many people search for “the village Sharjah” and land on Al Shaab Village, but they are two separate places. Al Shaab Village is an established, traditional-style shopping destination in Al Riqa, while The Village Mall is a new build in Al Suyoh, on the city’s eastern edge.
Living near The Village Mall in Al Suyoh
The Village sits in one of the busiest growth corridors in the emirate. Al Suyoh is a family-oriented suburb of villas, townhouses and low-rise apartment buildings, with direct access to Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road and Emirates Road, and quick links to both Sharjah and Dubai.
Nearby, Masaar, a community by Arada in Al Suyoh, is known for its forest-style landscaping and homes with private gardens, while Tilal City is a large residential and commercial development off Emirates Road. Both are a few minutes’ drive from the mall.
