Abu Dhabi's biggest pharmacy names run around the clock, and between them these pharmacies have logged more than three thousand five hundred Google reviews. Medicina Pharmacy's Al Muroor branch leads with 1,182 reviews and a 4.9 rating, but a second Medicina branch sits on this same list, so which one you call can matter as much as which chain you pick.

Short answer: The top-rated pharmacy in Abu Dhabi is Medicina Pharmacy on Al Muroor Road (4.9 stars across 1,182 Google reviews), followed by its Airport Road branch (4.8, 876 reviews) and Life Pharmacy (4.9, 746 reviews). Most branches operate 24 hours and offer home delivery, so confirm delivery windows and prescription requirements when you call.

Medicina Pharmacy - Airport Road, Abu Dhabi صيدلية ميديسينا فرع شارع المطار 1

4.8876 Google reviews

Medicina Pharmacy's Old Airport Road branch is the same UAE-wide chain as the Al Muroor location above, but this is a separate storefront with its own review history and staff. It's the second most-reviewed pharmacy on this list, with a slightly lower but still strong rating. If you're near the airport corridor rather than Al Muroor, this branch is the closer option.

What people praise

  • Multiple staff members named directly for polite, professional service
  • Well organized, clean pharmacy noted by reviewers
  • Same nationwide Medicina delivery and product range as the Al Muroor branch

Worth knowing

  • One reviewer described an uncomfortable interaction with a staff member regarding language accommodation, worth being aware of if it happens to you

Health information disclaimer: This directory is informational only and not medical advice. Rankings reflect publicly available Google ratings and review volume, not clinical outcomes. Verify any practitioner’s credentials and registration with the relevant medical board before booking.

How we score

Every number on this page is computed from public Google data on the date shown, not from opinion or payment. Rating is the pharmacy’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated them, ranked against other Abu Dhabi pharmacies. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.9 built on over a thousand reviews carries more weight than the same score from a few dozen. Recency reflects how recently customers are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

What does it cost to use a pharmacy in Abu Dhabi? (2026)

Pharmacy pricing in Abu Dhabi depends on whether your medication is covered by insurance, whether it’s a prescription or over-the-counter item, and which brand or generic version you choose. None of the pharmacies on this page publish a fixed service fee, since medicine pricing is set per product rather than per visit. Ask your pharmacy whether they bill your insurance directly or require you to claim reimbursement afterward.

Serving all of Abu Dhabi

These pharmacies cover key parts of the city, including Al Muroor, Old Airport Road, Hamdan Bin Mohammed Street and Khalidiyah. Searching for a pharmacy near me? Every listing below shows a live phone number and directions so you can reach the closest option fast, and most branches offer delivery if you’d rather stay home.

What to ask before you rely on a pharmacy

  • Do you bill my health insurance directly, or do I need to claim reimbursement?
  • What are your delivery hours, and is there a minimum order for free delivery?
  • Do you stock the specific brand my doctor prescribed, or only a generic equivalent?
  • Can the pharmacist advise on interactions if I’m taking multiple medications?
  • Are you open 24 hours, or only during listed daytime hours?
  • Do you offer refill reminders or repeat prescription management?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these pharmacies?

We started from every pharmacy in Abu Dhabi with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency, and recency. See How we score above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from the public Google data in the scorecard. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position on the underlying data.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (July 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

Are Abu Dhabi pharmacies open 24 hours?

Several chains on this page, including Medicina, Life Pharmacy and Aster, run branches around the clock, but hours vary by specific location. Call ahead or check the listing before making a late-night trip.

Do these pharmacies deliver medicine to my home?

Most of the chains here, including Medicina, Life Pharmacy, Aster and Al Manara, advertise home delivery across the UAE through their apps or websites. Delivery windows and minimum order amounts vary, so confirm directly.

The bottom line

Medicina Pharmacy’s Al Muroor branch is the safe default given its review depth and top rating, and its Old Airport Road branch is just as strong if that’s the more convenient location. Whichever pharmacy you choose, confirm your insurance coverage and delivery window before you need it urgently.
