Airport Transportation in Sharjah

Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Sharjah International Airport to your hotel, resort or vacation rental.

After immigration, baggage claim and customs, continue outside the terminal to the meeting area named in your confirmation. Your vehicle is reserved only for the passengers on your reservation: unlike a shared shuttle, it makes no extra hotel stops for other travelers, and the price is per vehicle, not per person.

Airport transportation in Sharjah takes you from Sharjah International Airport, the home base of Air Arabia, to hotels and homes in Al Majaz, Al Qasba and the Heart of Sharjah, north to Ajman, and across the border to Deira, Downtown Dubai and Dubai Marina.

Sharjah Airport Transfers

Our Sharjah airport transfers start in the arrivals area of the terminal, where your driver meets you after customs and walks with you to the car outside. Every scheduled flight uses the same terminal, and we track your flight so the pickup follows your real landing time.

Enter your hotel or address in the booking form to see the vehicles available for your route, from sedans and SUVs to minivans and minibuses for groups, priced per vehicle before you pay. Each Sharjah airport transfer goes door to door, whether you are staying on the Buhaira Corniche, at a beach hotel in Ajman or in a tower in Dubai, and unlike a taxi line there is no hunting for a ride when you land.

Sharjah Airport Shuttle

Our Sharjah airport shuttle is a private minivan or minibus for your party only: it leaves as soon as you are through the arrivals area and goes straight to your address in Sharjah, Ajman or Dubai, with no stops for other passengers. There is room for suitcases and strollers, so it suits families, business teams and groups arriving together on Air Arabia and other flights.

Landing at Sharjah Airport

Sharjah International Airport (SHJ) lies about 13 km east-southeast of Sharjah city, in the United Arab Emirates, and is the home base of Air Arabia. All scheduled flights use one passenger terminal, with arrivals and departures in the same complex.

After you leave the aircraft, follow the Arrivals signs to immigration, where smart gates are available for eligible passengers. Collect your bags in the baggage claim hall, then pass through customs into the arrivals area, where you will find currency exchange counters, ATMs and car rental desks.

The UAE is on Gulf Standard Time (UTC+4) all year, with no daylight saving time.

Entry requirements and local notes

Visa. GCC citizens do not need a visa, citizens of a number of countries receive a visa on arrival, and others must apply before traveling. Check the rules for your nationality before you fly.

Passport validity. Your passport must be valid for at least six months from the date you enter the UAE.

UAE dirham. The currency is the UAE dirham (AED); exchange counters and ATMs are inside the terminal.

Alcohol in Sharjah. Alcohol is not served in hotels, restaurants or other outlets in the emirate of Sharjah, and drinking it requires a license.

Unofficial rides. Turn down rides offered inside the terminal; use the official Sharjah Taxi stand or your pre-booked driver.

Sharjah Airport Transportation FAQs

Where will my driver meet me at Sharjah Airport?

Your driver meets you in the arrivals area of the terminal, after immigration, baggage claim and customs, and walks with you to the car outside. All scheduled flights at Sharjah use the same passenger terminal, so every traveler comes out into the same arrivals area. Check the company name before you get in, and turn down rides offered inside the hall.

How far is Sharjah Airport from Sharjah city center?

Sharjah International Airport is about 13 km east-southeast of Sharjah city, on the road toward Al Dhaid. How long the drive to Al Majaz, Al Qasba, the Corniche or the Heart of Sharjah takes depends on traffic, which is heaviest at weekday rush hours, so give us your exact address and your flight details when you book.

Sharjah or Dubai airport: which one am I flying into?

Check the airport code on your ticket. SHJ is Sharjah International Airport, the base of Air Arabia, and this page books transfers from it. DXB is Dubai International Airport, a separate airport about 15 km away. If you land at DXB, book on our Dubai airport transportation page instead, so your driver waits at the right airport.

Can you take me to Dubai from Sharjah Airport?

Yes. We drive you from Sharjah Airport to hotels, apartments and offices across Dubai, from Deira, Al Nahda and Al Qusais near the border to Downtown Dubai, Business Bay, Dubai Marina and Palm Jumeirah. Central Dubai is about 15 km away; the drive can take around 15 minutes in light traffic and up to two hours at rush hour.

Can you take me to Ajman?

Yes. Ajman lies just north of Sharjah, and we drive you door to door from Sharjah Airport to hotels, apartments and homes in Ajman, including the beachfront hotels along the Ajman Corniche. Enter your hotel name or full address in the booking form to see the vehicles available for your party and luggage before you pay.

Can you take me to Abu Dhabi or Ras Al Khaimah?

Longer trips to other emirates, such as Abu Dhabi, Ras Al Khaimah or Fujairah, can often be arranged. Share the address when you book and we'll confirm: when a vehicle is available for that route, the booking form shows it before you pay, and if it does not, contact us before you fly so we can check the trip for you.

Can you take me to Al Majaz, Al Qasba or the Heart of Sharjah?

Yes. We drive you to hotels and homes in Al Majaz, along Al Qasba and the Buhaira Corniche, in the Heart of Sharjah and in Al Khan, Al Nahda and the rest of the city. Give us the hotel name or the full address, including the building name, so your driver goes straight to the right entrance.

Which terminal will I arrive at in Sharjah?

Sharjah International Airport has one passenger terminal, used by Air Arabia and every other scheduled airline. All arriving passengers clear immigration and customs in the same building and come out into the same arrivals area, where your driver meets you. You do not need to give a terminal number when you book, only your flight number and arrival time.

Can I book a transfer for a late-night or early-morning flight?

Yes. Many flights land at Sharjah late at night or in the early morning, and you can book a transfer for any arrival time. Enter your flight number and arrival time in the booking form: when a vehicle is available for that hour, it shows before you pay, and your confirmation tells you where to meet your driver.

What happens if my flight to Sharjah is delayed?

We track the arrival of the flight on your reservation, so your driver adjusts to a delay. If your flight number, date or airline changes, if you are moved to Dubai International Airport, or if your flight is canceled, tell customer service as soon as you can so we can move your pickup to the right time and place.

Can I book a ride back to Sharjah Airport?

Yes. Book a return from your hotel or home in Sharjah, Ajman or Dubai and give us your flight time, so your pickup leaves enough time for the drive, check-in and security. Sharjah Airport advises arriving early at busy times, and traffic between Dubai and Sharjah can be heavy at rush hour, so allow extra time.

Do I need a visa to enter the UAE at Sharjah?

It depends on your nationality. GCC citizens do not need a visa, citizens of a number of countries receive a visa on arrival, and others must apply for a visa before traveling. Your passport must be valid for at least six months from the date you enter the UAE. Check the current rules for your nationality before you fly.

What time zone is Sharjah in?

Sharjah is on Gulf Standard Time, UTC+4, all year, with no daylight saving time, the same as Dubai and the rest of the UAE. When you book, give your arrival time in local Sharjah time as shown on your ticket, so your pickup is scheduled for the right hour. The currency is the UAE dirham (AED).
