Offers in Ajman this week

Ajman: this week's offers at a glance

Ajman is the smallest emirate by area but one of the busiest in terms of daily shopping, with a growing population attracted by affordable housing close to Sharjah and Dubai. Ajman Coop, large hypermarket chains and many value-focused supermarkets compete for local families, and their catalogues are full of offers on staples, fresh food and household goods. For many residents, comparing the city leaflets with those of neighbouring Sharjah is part of the weekly routine.

The most searched offers in Ajman

When people in Ajman look for offers, the most searched are those of Nesto, LuLu Hypermarket, Al Safeer Hypermarket and Hashim Hypermarket, followed by Ajman Coop, Carrefour and Kenz Hypermarket. Many type phrases such as “offers in Ajman today” or “supermarket offers”, or add the store and area name, because what they want to know is what applies near them right now. This page gathers that answer in one place: the catalogues valid today first, then next week's sneak peeks, with an area filter.

Beyond groceries, mobile phone and home appliance offers are in high demand, as are weekend deals and the seasonal campaigns of Ramadan, Eid and National Day. Every store has its own page with its offers today and next week, one click away from the cards above.

Early morning (5 to 9 am) at the fish market; weekday mornings in supermarkets.

Getting around to shop in Ajman

Ajman is compact: most supermarkets are a short drive apart, and the city merges with Sharjah, so many residents shop on both sides of the border. Buses connect the city with Sharjah and Dubai, and the Corniche area around the fish market is easiest to reach early, before traffic builds up.

Local tips for shopping in Ajman

• At the fish market, bring small notes, bargain politely and pick fish with clear eyes and bright red gills; cleaning is done on site for a small fee.
• Bring a cool bag: the market is open in the heat of the day too.
• Midday at the fish market is quieter and sometimes brings discounts on the remaining stock.

Where to shop in Ajman

Al Nuaimiya, Al Jurf, Al Bustan, Al Rashidiya and Meshairef are among the main residential and shopping areas, with community malls such as City Life Al Tallah and hypermarkets along the main roads. Because several retailers group Ajman with Sharjah and the northern emirates in a single leaflet while others print the city-only offers, the area information attached to each catalogue makes it easy to see what applies near you.

Catalogues valid this week

This week, catalogues from Abu Dhabi Co Operative Society, Ajman Coop, Al Madina Hypermarket, Al Maya, Al Safeer Hypermarket, Aswaaq, Aswaq Ramez and Carrefour and more are available in the city. Each one shows its validity dates and the branches listed by the retailer, and you can open it page by page in one click. Catalogues valid across the whole UAE appear here too, since they also apply to branches in the city.

Offers sometimes differ between branches even within the city. That is why we show, for every catalogue, the areas listed by the retailer, and why you can filter the catalogues by area at the top of this page. When a retailer does not specify any area, the offer covers the whole city or the whole country.

Compare Ajman with neighbouring emirates

Many residents of Ajman also work or shop in Sharjah and Umm Al Quwain. Because retailers sometimes publish different leaflets for each emirate, an offer may be better next door in the same week. Open the other city's page from the 'Other emirates' list above and compare quickly, especially before big purchases such as appliances or the monthly stock-up. Remember that fuel and time are part of the calculation: a small saving is not always worth a long drive.

Reading catalogue prices

Prices shown to consumers in the UAE are expected to include the 5% VAT, so the price printed in the catalogue is usually what you pay at the till, unless an extra condition such as a loyalty card or a minimum spend is mentioned. To compare two offers fairly, look at the unit price per kg or per litre rather than the pack price, and watch for phrases such as 'while stocks last' and 'in selected branches'.
