Price

What your quote depends on

Every journey is quoted on its own rather than sold from a price list, so the figure you receive is for your booking and not an estimate that changes later. These are the things that move it — and once you accept the quote and pay, the price is fixed.

Which part of Dubai Dubai International is about 15 km away. The Marina and Palm end is considerably further.
Not the traffic The corridor is slow at peak, and that does not change your price — it was fixed when you paid.
The hour you land Late-night, public holiday and short-notice arrivals can carry a charge, named up front.
Passengers and bags The vehicle class follows the people and luggage.

The journey

Sharjah airport to Dubai, end to end

The distance is short. The traffic is the thing nobody warns you about, so here is the honest version.

01

Before you land

Your flight is tracked and a chauffeur is assigned to your booking, timed to your actual landing rather than the schedule.

02

Meeting your chauffeur

Terminal 1 handles Air Arabia and most international arrivals. Your confirmation voucher carries the chauffeur’s name, the vehicle and the meeting point, and waiting runs 30 minutes from the moment you land.

03

Leaving Sharjah

The road towards Dubai leaves the airport and joins the corridor the two emirates share. It is one of the busiest stretches of road in the country, and a great many people drive it twice a day.

04

The drive

Fifteen kilometres to Dubai International, and clear roads make that a twenty-minute run. Morning and evening peak is a different journey on the same road, and can take considerably longer. Your price does not move either way.

05

Arriving in Dubai

The chauffeur takes you to the address on the booking. No meter, no surge, and nothing extra for the time the traffic took.

What the drive involves

Distance About 15 kilometres from Sharjah International to Dubai International, and further again to the city and the Marina side.
Time Around twenty minutes when the road is clear. The Sharjah–Dubai corridor is heavily congested at peak, so allow well beyond that in the morning and evening.
Terminals Terminal 1 is the main terminal and the Air Arabia base. Terminal 2 handles selected charter and low-frequency flights.
Borders None. Sharjah and Dubai are two emirates of the same country, so there is no crossing and no passport check.

If you are landing at Sharjah in the evening and have somewhere to be in Dubai, tell us when you send the request. It is exactly the kind of journey worth booking ahead rather than deciding at the kerb.

SHJ

Sharjah International Airport (SHJ)

Sharjah International is the home base of Air Arabia, so a great many arrivals into the emirate land here rather than in Dubai. Terminal 1 handles the airline and most international departures. Send your flight number with the request and the pickup is timed to it.
