Ooredoo Shops & Branches in Qatar: Locations and Timings

Quick Answer

Ooredoo outlets in Qatar keep different hours, so check the exact outlet in the official Ooredoo store locator on the day you go. Ooredoo confirms a shop with a Business Service Desk in Al Sadd, and Villaggio Mall lists an Ooredoo store at Canal J36 on the ground floor. Neither has current hours published by Ooredoo. LuLu outlets are separate locations with different operators, so identify the specific LuLu first.

  1. Open the Ooredoo store locator and filter for Ooredoo Stores, not Self Service Machines.
  2. Pick the exact outlet, such as Al Sadd, Villaggio or a specific LuLu hypermarket.
  3. Check that day's opening times and the services listed for that outlet.
  4. If the service or documents are unclear, call 111 or message obot on WhatsApp first.

Ooredoo serves walk-in customers in Qatar through its own shops, dealer-run Express shops, airport kiosks and self-service machines, and these do not share one timetable. This guide covers what official Ooredoo pages and mall directories say about the Ooredoo Al Sadd and Villaggio shops, the Ooredoo outlets linked to several LuLu hypermarkets, and other mall locations. It also shows where sources disagree. Before you go, check the official Ooredoo store locator for that day's hours.

Ooredoo branches at a glance

This table only includes outlets that a named source identifies. "Map listing" means hours shown on a business-managed map listing, not hours published by Ooredoo. A mall directory may show the mall's general trading hours rather than the Ooredoo counter's own hours. Details and source notes are in the sections below.

This is not a complete list of Ooredoo's retail network. The store locator is the only source that aims to cover every Ooredoo store and self-service machine.

Ooredoo Al Sadd

What Ooredoo confirms: the Ooredoo Business page names Al Sadd as one of the shops "equipped with Business Service Desks", alongside Airport Road, Salwa, City Center and Wakra. That confirms a company shop in Al Sadd with agents for business customers. The page gives no street address or opening hours.

Location: a map listing named "Ooredoo Alsadd Branch" places the shop near Almana Signal on Al Sadd Street, Doha. This is business-managed map data, not an Ooredoo address. You can search Google Maps for Ooredoo Al Sadd. That link runs a search, not a verified pin, so check the result name before following directions.

Hours: the same map listing shows 8am to 10pm Saturday to Thursday and 2pm to 8pm on Friday. It also shows 4440 0620 as a phone number. Neither appears on the Ooredoo pages we checked, so treat them as unconfirmed.

Conflicting schedules: several directory websites list Al Sadd as 8am to 8pm Sunday to Thursday and 9am to 5pm on Saturday, and say it is closed on Friday. They cite no dated Ooredoo source. An 8pm closing time matches a 2017 announcement that Ooredoo's Al Sadd business desk would stay open "up to 8pm", so those directories may be repeating old business-desk hours. Current opening hours could not be independently confirmed. Check with Ooredoo before visiting.

Al Sadd Street has many independent mobile phone shops. A shop that sells Ooredoo SIM cards or recharge cards is not necessarily an Ooredoo shop and may not handle account changes.

Ooredoo Villaggio

What the mall confirms: the Villaggio Mall directory lists an Ooredoo store at Villaggio Mall, Canal, J36, ground floor. The tenant page gives no opening hours or phone number.

Hours: the Villaggio website showed the mall's own hours on the day we checked. Those are the mall's hours, and we have not used them for the Ooredoo store. Some directory websites list the Villaggio branch as 9:30am to 5:30pm Sunday to Thursday, 9am to 5pm on Saturday and closed on Friday, but without a source. Current opening hours could not be independently confirmed. Check with Ooredoo before visiting.

Services: a 2016 Ooredoo announcement included Villaggio among its stores with business desks. Ooredoo's current Business page leaves Villaggio off its list of shops with Business Service Desks, so do not assume business-account services are available there now. No current source we found lists the services at this store.

Other electronics and phone retailers in Villaggio may sell Ooredoo products. That does not make them Ooredoo service counters.

Ooredoo at LuLu hypermarkets

"Lulu Ooredoo" is not one branch. Ooredoo outlets have been announced inside several LuLu hypermarkets, some run by Ooredoo and some by dealers. LuLu's own trading hours, including 24-hour opening at some branches, do not tell you when an Ooredoo counter inside is staffed.

Three points avoid the most common mix-ups:

  • Al Wukair is not Al Wakrah. LuLu Ezdan Oasis is in Al Wukair. Ezdan Mall in Al Wakrah is a different venue.
  • The 2021 Ezdan Oasis hours are historical. They come from the opening announcement and may have changed.
  • A phone retailer inside LuLu is not automatically an Ooredoo counter. Ooredoo's dealer partners also run their own electronics stores, which are separate from the Ooredoo outlets they manage.

We found no source for an Ooredoo outlet at LuLu Barwa City, so it is not listed. If you need a LuLu outlet, search the store locator for that hypermarket and confirm it is shown as an Ooredoo store, not a self-service machine.

Other Ooredoo shops and service points

Doha Festival City

The Doha Festival City directory lists Ooredoo on the ground floor, open 10am to 10pm Saturday to Wednesday and 10am to 11pm Thursday and Friday, closed during Friday prayers. It lists the phone number 4400 1901. Some directory websites give quite different hours for this branch, including 9:30am to 5:30pm on weekdays. The mall's listing is the more direct source, but it is still a mall listing, not Ooredoo's.

Mall of Qatar

The Mall of Qatar directory lists Ooredoo on the ground floor under Services, open 10am to 12am daily. Another tenant we checked shows the same hours, so this may be the mall's default schedule, not confirmed counter hours.

Place Vendôme, Lusail

The Place Vendôme directory lists Ooredoo on the Canal Level, ground floor, with the phone number +974 4440 4022 and hours of 10am to 12am. The mall describes it as a "digital-first" shop with a self-service corner for SIMs, devices and account needs. Other tenants on the same directory show the same hours.

Hamad International Airport kiosks

Ooredoo's Visitor SIM page says arriving travelers can buy a Visitor SIM and recharges from Ooredoo kiosks at Exits 2, 3 and 4 in the Arrivals Hall, the Qatar Duty Free store in the baggage collection area and the Day2Day store in the Arrivals Hall. It does not publish kiosk hours or say that the kiosks handle account services.

Business Service Desk shops

Business customers should go to a shop with a Business Service Desk. Ooredoo lists Airport Road, Al Sadd, Salwa, City Center and Wakra. Ooredoo says these desks have agents who specialize in business services and can receive documents for service orders. It publishes no desk hours on that page, so call Business Customer Care on 800 8000 first.

Self-service machines and Express shops

A self-service machine is not a staffed shop. For example, the Ezdan Mall Al Wakra directory lists an "Ooredoo (Self Service Machine)" on the first floor near Gate 3. Ooredoo has also opened dealer-run Express shops, such as the Ooredoo Starlink Express shop at The Mall (2021) and Express outlets at Gulf Mall, Asia Town Mall and Doha Jadeed Metro (2021). We have not confirmed whether these are still open or what hours they keep.

Is any Ooredoo branch open 24 hours?

Several directory websites say a "Doha branch" is open 24 hours, and they disagree on where it is. We found no Ooredoo source for a 24-hour shop, so we do not list one. What Ooredoo does describe as available 24/7 is its remote support: the obot assistant on WhatsApp, the app and the website. Our Ooredoo customer care guide covers the call, chat and WhatsApp options.

How to find the nearest suitable branch

  1. Open the Ooredoo store locator. It is linked as "Store Locator" from the Ooredoo Qatar homepage.
  2. Use the filter to show Ooredoo Stores, Self Service Machines or both, then choose a location from the list or zoom into the map.
  3. Select an outlet to see its details. Store entries can include opening times, a telephone number, available services, directions and, where offered, an option to book an appointment.
  4. Check that the services listed include what you need before you travel.

The nearest outlet is not always the right one. A kiosk or self-service machine may only handle recharges or payments, and only some shops have Business Service Desks. We could not load the locator's live data while preparing this guide, so we cannot confirm which details each entry currently shows.

What can you do at an Ooredoo shop?

Ooredoo describes these services in general terms. Whether a particular outlet offers them is a separate question.

  • eSIM: Ooredoo's eSIM page says you can switch a physical SIM to an eSIM by visiting your nearest Ooredoo store, or online through SIM Management in your account.
  • Recharge and payments: you can recharge with cash at an Ooredoo shop or self-service machine. See our Ooredoo recharge guide for every method.
  • Visitor SIMs: sold at the airport kiosks and online.
  • Business accounts: handled at Business Service Desk shops.
  • New lines and plans: Ooredoo's announcements for its Express shops said they offered all standard Ooredoo services when they opened. One, at Ezdan Mall in 2019, listed new plans, recharges, home services and Ooredoo tv. To compare monthly plans before you go, see our Ooredoo postpaid plans guide.

We found no current Ooredoo page that says which outlets handle SIM replacement, transfer of ownership or cancellation. Do not assume a kiosk, self-service machine or dealer can do these. Call 111 or ask obot before you go.

What to bring

Requirements depend on the service and the type of account, and the Ooredoo pages we checked do not publish a single document list for shop visits. What they do show:

  • Ooredoo accounts are registered to an ID. For example, Ooredoo's online bill payment asks for the QID or Commercial Registration Number (CRN) the account is registered to.
  • For business lines, Ooredoo says Business Service Desks can receive documents for service orders. Ask Business Customer Care which documents and authorization your company needs.

For personal tasks such as SIM replacement or ownership transfer, ask Ooredoo whether you need your original QID or passport, whether the account holder must attend, and whether there is a fee. Share identity documents only with Ooredoo through its official channels.

Friday, Ramadan and holiday hours

Friday hours vary between outlets in the sources we found. Doha Festival City's listing shows the shop closing during Friday prayers. The 2021 Lulu Ezdan Oasis announcement gave split Friday hours, 8am to 11am and then 12pm to 12am. Map listings for Al Sadd and two LuLu outlets show Friday opening from 2pm. Directory websites say most branches close on Friday. None of these is a current Ooredoo timetable.

Ooredoo's Ramadan 2026 announcement covered offers, not shop hours, and we found no current Ooredoo announcement of Ramadan, Eid or public holiday shop timings. Do not rely on a previous year's schedule. Check the locator or call 111 close to the date.

Can you do it online instead?

Many routine tasks don't need a visit:

  • Pay a postpaid bill in the Ooredoo App, on My Ooredoo or through the Pay Bill page. See our Ooredoo bill payment guide.
  • Recharge a Hala line in the app, online or with Ooredoo Money, covered in our recharge guide.
  • Check data and credit with *129# or the app, explained in our Ooredoo balance check guide.
  • Get an eSIM online, activated by a QR code, according to Ooredoo's eSIM page.

Some tasks involve identity checks and may still need a shop visit. Ask Ooredoo which applies to you.

Confirm before you travel

  • Exact outlet: the shop name, venue and, in a mall, the unit or floor.
  • Today's hours: from the store locator, not from the mall's hours.
  • Service: that this outlet handles your task, not just sales or recharges.
  • Documents: which ID and whether the account holder must attend.
  • Fees and appointments: whether a fee applies and whether the locator offers an appointment.

To ask before you go, call 111 from an Ooredoo line or +974 4420 0700 from another operator in Qatar, or message obot on WhatsApp. Business customers can call 800 8000. These are Ooredoo's central support lines, not direct branch numbers. For more phone and internet guides, see our Telecom & Internet section.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is the Ooredoo Al Sadd branch?

Ooredoo's Business page confirms an Al Sadd shop with a Business Service Desk but gives no address. A map listing places it near Almana Signal on Al Sadd Street, Doha. Confirm the location in the Ooredoo store locator.

What are the Ooredoo Al Sadd opening hours?

Ooredoo does not publish them on the pages we checked, and other sources disagree. A map listing shows 8am to 10pm Saturday to Thursday and 2pm to 8pm Friday, while directory sites say 8am to 8pm and closed Friday. Check the store locator before you go.

Is there an Ooredoo shop in Villaggio Mall?

Yes. Villaggio Mall's directory lists Ooredoo at Canal J36 on the ground floor. It gives no shop hours, so check the Ooredoo store locator for current timings.

Which LuLu has an Ooredoo shop?

Ooredoo outlets have been announced at LuLu Ezdan Oasis (Al Wukair), the LuLu Airport branch, LuLu Al Messila and LuLu Dakhira, and a map listing shows one at LuLu Gharafa. None of these could be confirmed as currently operating from an Ooredoo source, so search the locator for the specific LuLu.

Are Ooredoo branches open on Friday?

It depends on the outlet. Doha Festival City's listing shows Friday opening with a closure during prayers, and map listings for some branches show Friday afternoon opening. Directory sites claim most branches close. No current Ooredoo timetable confirms this, so check the locator.

Is any Ooredoo branch open 24 hours?

We found no Ooredoo source for a 24-hour shop, although some directory sites claim one. Ooredoo's obot assistant on WhatsApp, the app and the website is described as available 24/7.

Can an authorized dealer replace my Ooredoo SIM?

Not necessarily. Dealer-run Express shops were announced as offering standard Ooredoo services, but no current Ooredoo page we found lists which outlets handle SIM replacement. Call 111 to confirm before you go.

Do I need my original QID at an Ooredoo shop?

It depends on the service and the account. Ooredoo does not publish one document list for shop visits on the pages we checked. Ask Ooredoo on 111 or obot which documents your task needs.

How do I find the nearest Ooredoo branch?

Use the official Ooredoo store locator, linked from the Ooredoo Qatar homepage. Filter for Ooredoo Stores, choose your area and check the outlet's hours and listed services, since the nearest outlet may only be a kiosk or machine.

Can I pay my Ooredoo bill or recharge without visiting a shop?

Yes. Bills can be paid and Hala lines recharged in the Ooredoo App, online or through Ooredoo Money, and balances can be checked with *129#. Tasks involving identity checks may still need a visit.
