Al Noor runs 20 verified UAE branches — 9 in Abu Dhabi (incl. Al Ain and Western Region), 10 in Dubai, 1 in Sharjah. The only side-by-side map of the full network.
Al Noor Hospitals and Clinics in the UAE: All 20 Branches Compared
The Al Noor network runs 20 verified branches across the UAE as of July 2026 — 9 facilities in Abu Dhabi emirate (including 2 in Al Ain and family-care centres in Baniyas, Al Mamora, Ghayathi, and Madinat Zayed), 10 polyclinics across Dubai from Deira to Al Barsha, and 1 in Sharjah. Our directory lists every one of them with the address, regulator, and walk-in posture, so this guide is the only place you can see the full footprint side by side.
Why a Chain Map Beats a “Best Hospital” List
Ranking hospitals by clinical quality is something only regulators and your insurer should attempt. What actually helps a UAE resident is logistics: which branch is near your home, which accepts walk-ins, which has a family-care model versus a speciality setup, and which emirate’s regulator licenses it. Al Noor is a useful case study because its 20 branches deliberately split between Family Care centres (GP-paediatric-first, neighbourhood scale) and Speciality Clinics (consultant-led, hospital-adjacent). Knowing which type sits on your commute decides whether a 20-minute wait becomes a 4-hour round trip. The map below is built only from verified directory records — every branch name links to its listing page so you can confirm hours and phone before you leave.
Al Noor Branches in Abu Dhabi Emirate (9 Locations)
Abu Dhabi emirate holds the densest Al Noor footprint, with the network stretching from the capital out to Al Ain and the Western Region (Al Dhafra). DoH-licensed facilities here typically accept Daman and the major Thiqa networks; always confirm network participation with your insurer before any non-urgent visit. The split below is grouped by district to make trip-planning easier.
| Branch | Area / City | Listing path |
|---|---|---|
| Al Noor Medical Center | Abu Dhabi city | abu-dhabi/al-noor-medical-center |
| Al Noor Hospital Family Care Center - Al Mamora | Al Mamora, Abu Dhabi | abu-dhabi/al-noor-hospital-family-care-center-al-mamora |
| Al Noor Hospital Medical Center Khalifa City LLC | Khalifa City, Abu Dhabi | abu-dhabi/al-noor-hospital-medical-center-khalifa-city-llc |
| Al Noor Hospital Speciality Clinics - Al Musafah | Musaffah, Abu Dhabi | abu-dhabi/al-noor-hospital-speciality-clinics-al-musafah |
| Al Noor Hospital Clinic - Al Ain - Branch 3 | Al Ain | abu-dhabi/al-noor-hospital-clinic-al-ain-branch-3 |
| Al Noor Hospital Clinics - Al Ain - Branch 6 | Al Ain | abu-dhabi/al-noor-hospital-clinics-al-ain-branch-6 |
| Al Noor Hospital Family Care - Baniyas | Baniyas, Abu Dhabi | abu-dhabi/al-noor-hospital-family-care-baniyas |
| Al Noor Hospital Family Care Center - Ghayathi | Ghayathi, Western Region | abu-dhabi/al-noor-hospital-family-care-center-ghayathi |
| Al Noor Hospital Speciality Clinics - Madinat Zayed | Madinat Zayed, Western Region | abu-dhabi/al-noor-hospital-speciality-clinics-madinat-zayed |
Two patterns are visible: the Al Ain cluster (Branches 3 and 6) covers the eastern city’s residential districts, and the Western Region pair in Ghayathi and Madinat Zayed gives Al Dhafra residents a credible alternative to driving 200 km to the capital for a family consult. If you live in Abu Dhabi city proper, the Al Mamora and Khalifa City locations are the closest family-care options; Musaffah’s speciality branch is the right call for outpatient consultant referrals.
Al Noor Branches in Dubai (10 Polyclinics)
Dubai’s Al Noor presence is shaped as polyclinics rather than hospitals — DHA-licensed multi-speciality day facilities that handle everything from GP visits to dental, paediatrics, and basic diagnostics. Ten branches are listed in our directory, with the densest concentration along the old-Dubai corridor (Deira, Al Nahda, Satwa, Al Rashidiyah) where family-patient volume is highest. Each branch links to its dedicated listing page so you can verify current walk-in hours and contact numbers before travelling.
| Branch | Area | Listing path |
|---|---|---|
| Al Noor PolyClinic - Deira | Deira | dubai/al-noor-polyclinic-deira |
| Al Noor Al Nahda Polyclinic | Al Nahda, Dubai–Sharjah border | dubai/al-noor-al-nahda-polyclinic |
| Al Noor Polyclinic - Satwa | Satwa | dubai/al-noor-polyclinic-satwa |
| Al Rashidiyah Al Noor Polyclinic | Al Rashidiyah | dubai/al-rashidiyah-al-noor-polyclinic |
| Al Barsha AlNoor Polyclinic LLC | Al Barsha | dubai/al-barsha-alnoor-polyclinic-llc |
| Visit Us. Al Noor Al Barsha Polyclinic | Al Barsha (second location) | dubai/visit-us-al-noor-al-barsha-polyclinic |
| Abeer Al Noor Polyclinic | Dubai (Abeer-branded) | dubai/abeer-al-noor-polyclinic |
| Abeer Al Noor Poly Clinic LLC (Branch) | Dubai (Abeer branch) | dubai/abeer-al-noor-poly-clinic-llc-branch |
| Abeer Al Noor Polyclinic LLC (Branch) | Dubai (Abeer second branch) | dubai/abeer-al-noor-polyclinic-llc-branch |
| Amber - Al Noor Polyclinic | Dubai (Amber-branded) | dubai/amber-al-noor-polyclinic |
Three things stand out. First, Al Noor runs two separate Al Barsha branches — useful when one is fully booked but the other has walk-in capacity. Second, the Abeer and Amber polyclinics operate under related brand names; check the listing page to confirm they accept your insurer before assuming brand parity. Third, the Deira and Al Nahda locations anchor the eastern Dubai corridor where our Deira medical guide documents 31 listed facilities. For a side-by-side with another Dubai-heavy chain, see our Aster UAE branch map.
The Sharjah Branch
Sharjah is currently served by a single Al Noor facility — Sabah Al Noor Medical Center (formerly Al Taif Medical Centre) in the Rolla area. MoHAP-licensed Northern Emirates branches typically accept Daman, Orient, and MetLife networks; the family-care orientation here makes it a sensible first stop for routine GP and paediatric visits. Sharjah residents looking for hospital-level Al Noor services usually cross the Al Nahda border to the Dubai branches, which are within a 15-minute drive from Rolla outside peak hours.
How to Choose the Right Al Noor Branch
Branch selection should be driven by what you actually need from the visit, not by which name you remember. A Family Care centre is built for GP, paediatric, and chronic-disease follow-up — fast in-and-out, usually walk-in friendly, and staffed for first-contact care. A Speciality Clinics branch is built for consultant referrals, day procedures, and diagnostic workups — booking ahead is usually expected. The decision matrix below is a starting point; always confirm with the branch directly.
| You need… | Go to… | Why |
|---|---|---|
| A routine GP visit near home | Nearest Family Care centre | Walk-in friendly, lower co-pay typically |
| A paediatric consult for your child | Family Care or polyclinic with paediatrics | Multi-speciality setup handles vaccination too |
| A consultant referral (cardiology, ortho, etc.) | Speciality Clinics — Al Musafah or Madinat Zayed | Consultant-led, diagnostic-equipped |
| Western Region coverage | Ghayathi or Madinat Zayed | Avoids 200 km drive to Abu Dhabi city |
| Al Ain family care | Branch 3 or Branch 6 | Two locations cover most districts |
| Late-night or Friday cover | Call first — hours vary by branch | Most polyclinics close 22:00; emergency → hospital |
Al Noor vs Other UAE Chains: Where It Fits
Al Noor is one of several hospital networks with UAE-wide footprints, and it occupies a particular niche: stronger in family-care and Western Region coverage than most competitors, slightly less dominant in Dubai than Aster (19 branches) or Access Clinic (13 branches in our directory). For Abu Dhabi comparisons, our Burjeel guide covers the five-branch Burjeel network that overlaps geographically. The practical question is rarely “which chain is best” — it is “which branch of which chain is closest to me and accepts my insurance.” If you live in Sharjah or the Northern Emirates, also see our Thumbay network guide for the Ajman-centred alternative.
Insurance and Walk-In Practicalities
Insurance acceptance at Al Noor branches follows the regulator of each emirate. In Abu Dhabi, DoH-licensed branches work with Daman (Thiqa and Basic), Bupa Arabia, and the major international insurers — but pre-approval is required for anything beyond a standard consult. In Dubai, DHA-licensed polyclinics work with the full range of Dubai-mandated basic and enhanced plans, and most accept walk-ins for GP during business hours. The Northern Emirates branches operate under MoHAP licensing and typically accept the same national-network insurers. Always carry your insurance card and a valid Emirates ID; for pre-approval workflows see our Dubai insurance networks guide and the pre-approval explainer we published alongside this post.
What to Bring to Your First Al Noor Visit
- Emirates ID (original, not a photo)
- Insurance card — front and back
- Any prior prescriptions or lab results from the last 6 months
- Vaccination record for children (especially for paediatric appointments)
- Referral letter from your GP if you are seeing a specialist
- Cash or card for the co-pay — typically AED 50–100 for basic plans, more for speciality visits
- List of current medications and dosages
First-visit registration at most Al Noor branches takes 10–15 minutes; arriving 15 minutes early is usually enough. Repeat visits are faster once your file is in the system.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many Al Noor branches are there in the UAE?
Our directory lists 20 Al Noor branches as of July 2026 — 9 in Abu Dhabi emirate (including Al Ain and the Western Region), 10 in Dubai, and 1 in Sharjah. This is the largest hospital-network footprint we track alongside Aster (19) and Access (13).
Which Al Noor branch is closest to Abu Dhabi city centre?
The Al Mamora Family Care Center and the main Al Noor Medical Center in Abu Dhabi city are the closest to the central districts. For speciality consultations, the Musaffah branch is the nearest consultant-led facility.
Do Al Noor branches accept walk-ins?
Most Family Care centres and Dubai polyclinics accept walk-ins for GP during business hours, with typical wait times of 20–60 minutes. Speciality branches usually require appointments. Call ahead to confirm — hours and walk-in capacity vary by branch and day.
Is Al Noor the same as Abeer Al Noor?
Abeer Al Noor polyclinics operate under a related brand and are listed separately in our directory. They share the Al Noor network umbrella but may have different insurance networks and consultant rosters — always verify on the specific listing page before visiting.
Does Al Noor accept Daman insurance?
Yes, the Abu Dhabi branches typically accept Daman Thiqa and Basic networks, as do most Dubai polyclinics. Pre-approval is required for procedures and some speciality consults — confirm with your insurer and the branch before non-urgent visits.
Where is the Al Noor branch in Sharjah?
Sharjah is served by Sabah Al Noor Medical Center in the Rolla area, formerly Al Taif Medical Centre. Sharjah residents near the Dubai border often use the Al Nahda Dubai branch instead, which is within a 15-minute drive from Rolla outside peak hours.

Cost of a Visit at Al Noor Branches
Pricing at Al Noor branches follows the emirate of operation. In Abu Dhabi, GP consults at Family Care centres typically run AED 150–300 without insurance, with specialist consults AED 250–500. In Dubai, the polyclinics typically charge AED 200–400 for GP and AED 300–600 for specialist. The Sharjah branch runs slightly lower at AED 100–250 for GP — reflecting the Sharjah market pattern. Day procedures, where offered at speciality branches, typically start from AED 1,500 for minor procedures. Lab tests are competitively priced — basic bundles (CBC, blood sugar, lipid profile) typically run AED 100–300 across the network. For insured patients, the co-pay is typically AED 30–75 for basic plans and zero for enhanced plans. For a wider cost picture, see our Dubai GP costs guide and our dental costs guide.
Records Portability Across the Network
Al Noor operates a unified patient records system across most of its branches, meaning a file opened at one branch can typically be accessed at another without re-registration. This matters for residents who move between emirates — a patient who started care at the Al Noor Medical Center in Abu Dhabi city can usually continue at the Al Ain branches without carrying paper records. The Abeer and Amber polyclinics, while under the Al Noor umbrella, may run on separate systems — always ask at the front desk whether your file carries across. Cross-network referrals (Al Noor to Aster, Burjeel, or Thumbay) require a fresh registration at the new network and a referral letter. For chain alternatives with similar portability, see Aster’s 19 UAE branches and Thumbay’s 7 UAE branches.
