Sharjah: Safari Mall Sharjah, home to the UAE’s largest hypermarket, has entered its seventh year of operations, marking a journey defined by strong bonds with its customers and remarkable success. Since its opening in 2019, Safari has transformed from being just a shopping destination into a community hub cherished by millions.
The sixth anniversary celebration was held on September 4 at Safari Mall Sharjah in the presence of distinguished guests, including Sheikh Salem bin Abdulrahman bin Salem bin Sultan Al Qasimi and Sheikh Arhama bin Saud bin Khalid Humaid Al Qasimi. Safari Group Chairman Abubaker Madappat, Executive Directors Shameem Bakar and Shahid Bakar, philanthropist Chacko Oolakkattil, senior executives, staff representatives, and other dignitaries also graced the occasion.
Over the past six years, Safari Mall has offered customers more than just shopping—it has provided memorable experiences, cultural celebrations, and emotional connections. “Safari has always placed customer needs at the heart of its journey, and this will remain our guiding principle,” said Chairman Abubaker Madappat.
