Overview
The Dubai to Sharjah transfer is the simplest way to start a trip to Sharjah: a private car or van, a driver who tracks your flight and meets you at arrivals, and a price fixed on WhatsApp before you travel, so there is no airport taxi fare to argue about. Sharjah is a straightforward drive from Dubai. Compared with an airport taxi or public transport, a private airport transfer costs about the same for two people and less for a family, with none of the waiting. Sharjah is the emirate and city immediately north-east of Dubai, on the Gulf coast, about 20 km from Dubai Airport.

Full Description
Dubai to Sharjah transfer: the easiest way to get there
Getting from Dubai to Sharjah should be the easy part of the journey. With a private transfer it is: you tell us your flight number and your hotel, we confirm the price of the Dubai to Sharjah transfer on WhatsApp, and on the day a driver meets you at the arrivals hall and takes you straight to the door. No taxi rank, no ticket machines, no changing between buses with suitcases.
This page covers everything travellers ask about the Dubai to Sharjah route: how far it is and how long it takes, whether an airport taxi, public transport or a private transfer is the better choice, what Sharjah is like, what to see there and where to stay, where you meet your driver at Dubai, which vehicles we use and how the booking works.
Arriving at Dubai (DXB)
Dubai International (DXB) has three terminals - Emirates uses Terminal 3 - about 15 km from Downtown, 10 minutes from Deira and about 35 km from the Marina.
A little knowledge of Dubai makes the arrival calmer. Note which terminal or hall your flight uses, keep your phone charged for the WhatsApp thread, and expect the driver to be exactly where the confirmation said - by the arrivals exit with a name board, or at the airport's designated meeting point. From there it is a short walk to the car and the Dubai to Sharjah drive begins.
Searches for "DXB to Sharjah" or "DXB airport transfer" land here for a reason: DXB is the airport code for Dubai, and this is the private-car service that connects it with Sharjah.
Dubai to Sharjah at a glance
Service: private transfer, your own vehicle from Dubai to Sharjah, door to door. Vehicles: Sedan (1–3 passengers), Minivan (1–7 passengers) and Sprinter (8–13 passengers) - Mercedes, Volkswagen, Ford Transit and Peugeot Traveller models, air-conditioned, with room for luggage. Price: fixed for the whole vehicle and agreed on WhatsApp before you travel, tolls and waiting included, nothing to pay the driver on the day. Meeting: at Dubai, at the point named in your confirmation, with flight tracking so a delay moves the pickup. Booking: the form on this page or a WhatsApp message; confirmation in writing within minutes, in Arabic or English.
Taxi or private transfer from Dubai to Sharjah?
Travellers searching for "Dubai to Sharjah taxi cost" usually find a range rather than a number, because taxi fares depend on the meter, the hour and the route. Our private transfer gives you a single fixed price for the whole vehicle, agreed on WhatsApp in advance, so the cost of getting from Dubai to Sharjah is known before you land.
For one traveller with a small bag, a taxi or public transport can be a fair choice. For two or more people, a family with children, or anyone with real luggage, a private transfer is normally the cheapest way to get from Dubai to Sharjah per person - and by far the easiest. Public transport to Sharjah involves changes, tickets and stairs; a private car goes to the hotel door.
There is also the question of trust. Our drivers know the hotels of Sharjah, work on a fixed price, and never take a detour or add a "special fare" at the end. Your booking is confirmed by a real person on a WhatsApp desk that works in Arabic and English, and that same desk is reachable throughout your trip.
Public transport from Dubai to Sharjah: is there a bus, train or metro?
Public transport from Dubai runs mainly into Dubai itself: the Dubai Metro Red Line runs from DXB Terminals 1 and 3 through Downtown to the Marina and Expo, and it is genuinely useful for a light traveller; with family luggage, or for a villa or hotel off the line, a car door to door is faster and cooler. Reaching Sharjah from there means a further connection with your luggage, which is where a door-to-door car saves the most time and effort.
Many of our guests have tried the public route into Sharjah once and booked the car ever after. The difference is not only speed but effort: no ticket machines in a foreign language, no stairs with suitcases, no working out the last mile to the hotel. A private Dubai to Sharjah transfer starts at the arrivals door and ends at the reception desk, and the fixed price covers the whole vehicle.
About Sharjah
Sharjah is the emirate and city immediately north-east of Dubai, on the Gulf coast, about 20 km from Dubai Airport. Sharjah is the UAE's cultural capital, a large city of lagoons, museums and traditional souks directly bordering Dubai. Its restored Heart of Sharjah quarter preserves coral-stone houses, Al Hisn fort and old markets, while the Sharjah Museum of Islamic Civilization, the Sharjah Art Museum and the Sharjah Aquarium draw visitors. Families gather around Khalid Lagoon at Al Majaz Waterfront and the canal-side Al Qasba, and the blue-tiled Central Souq and Al Noor Mosque are city landmarks. Sharjah also has beaches at Al Khan and Al Mamzar on the Dubai border.
Things to do in Sharjah
What to see in Sharjah: Heart of Sharjah heritage area, Sharjah Museum of Islamic Civilization, Al Majaz Waterfront, Al Noor Mosque and Central Souq (Blue Souk). Ask the driver which to do first on the drive from Dubai - they know the area, and the desk arranges transport for any of them later in your stay.
Dubai itself is within reach for a day: a desert safari at sunset, Miracle Garden and the Burj Khalifa and Dubai Fountain - the same WhatsApp desk arranges the car there and back.
Where to stay in Sharjah
Where you stay in Sharjah makes no difference to the price of the transfer, which is fixed for the whole vehicle. The places most travellers choose: Al Majaz and Khalid Lagoon, Al Khan beach area, Buhaira Corniche and Al Taawun - and any other address is fine too.
The Dubai–Sharjah border roads are among the most congested in the UAE at rush hour, so avoid weekday mornings and early evenings if you can.
Meeting your driver at Dubai
Your confirmation message on WhatsApp includes the meeting arrangement for Dubai - it varies by airport, between an indoor meeting point, a specific exit and a driver with a sign at the arrivals door - along with your driver's name and number. With flight tracking, your driver is there the minute you land, and the waiting time is included in the fixed price.
Up to 60 minutes of waiting is included (90 minutes at some airports), and if you are delayed at baggage or passport control a quick WhatsApp message keeps your driver informed. On the way back, the driver collects you from the hotel at an agreed time with enough margin for your flight from Dubai.
Our vehicles for the Sharjah transfer
For this route we offer Sedan (1–3 passengers), Minivan (1–7 passengers) and Sprinter (8–13 passengers). The vans are Mercedes, Volkswagen, Ford Transit and Peugeot Traveller models, all recent, air-conditioned and cleaned between journeys, with proper luggage space rather than a crowded boot. Choose the vehicle by how many of you are travelling and how much luggage you bring; the desk will tell you if a larger vehicle would be more comfortable.
Families get child seats on request, and groups with a lot of luggage are matched to a vehicle with room to spare. Tell us on WhatsApp what you are bringing and we take care of the rest.
Every vehicle is checked and cleaned between journeys, and the drivers know the hotels of Sharjah and their side streets, so you are delivered to the right gate, not just the main road.
Who books the Sharjah transfer
Who uses a private transfer from Dubai to Sharjah? Couples who would rather not start a holiday in a taxi queue; families who need child seats and space for a pushchair; groups of six to thirteen who want to arrive together in one vehicle; business travellers with a meeting the same day; and travellers landing at night, when public transport is thin and a fixed price is worth more than ever. Every one of them books the same way - a WhatsApp message - and gets the same written confirmation.
If your trip continues beyond Sharjah - a day trip, a second city, a port or a return to Dubai - the same desk arranges it in the same WhatsApp conversation, with the same fixed-price approach.
How to book your Sharjah transfer
Booking is simple: fill in the form on this page or message us on WhatsApp with your flight number, the date, the number of passengers and your hotel in Sharjah. A member of our team replies within minutes to confirm the price and the meeting point. Payment is arranged on WhatsApp as well, in whichever way suits you, and your confirmation is written down so nothing is left to memory.
Changes and cancellations are handled through the same WhatsApp conversation. Because the terms depend on conditions such as how close to the pickup time the request is made, our team will explain exactly what applies to your booking when you ask - always before any payment, never as a surprise afterwards.
Good to know before you land at Dubai
DXB and DWC are 60 km apart - check your ticket - and tell us which terminal you land at, since Terminal 1, 2 and 3 have different exits.
Keep your phone charged and roaming or Wi-Fi on for the WhatsApp thread; the driver's number is in your confirmation and a message on landing at Dubai is the quickest way to say you are through.
Let us know the driver language you would prefer; it depends on the country, the city and the hour, so we cannot promise it, but we do our best to match it and the WhatsApp desk itself always works in Arabic and English.
Sharjah to Dubai: the return transfer
Heading back to Dubai at the end of the stay is just as easy - tell us the flight time and the hotel, and a driver is at the door with time to spare. Many travellers also use the desk for a day trip or an onward transfer from Sharjah; everything is arranged in the same WhatsApp chat.
Many guests book both directions together for a single confirmation with two times on it; if the return flight changes during the stay, one message moves the pickup to the new time.

Why travellers choose Haqqi Tours for Sharjah transfers
What guests tell us they value about the Dubai to Sharjah transfer is the absence of surprises. The price they were quoted is the price they pay. The driver is where the confirmation said. The car is clean and the right size. And the WhatsApp desk that made the booking is still there, in Arabic and English, for the whole trip - for the return, a day out, or a question about Sharjah at any hour.
Pickup options and waiting time
When you book on WhatsApp, you choose one of two pickup options for your arrival:
- Flight tracking: your driver is at arrivals the minute your flight lands and waits for up to 60 minutes. If your flight lands at 2:00 pm, the driver is there at 2:00 pm.
- Fixed time (no tracking): your driver arrives at a time you choose and waits for up to 60 minutes from that time. Send us your flight number and we check its real landing times over the past 10 days to recommend the best pickup time.
At most airports the included waiting time is 60 minutes; at some it is 90 minutes. We confirm the exact waiting time for your airport when you book with us on WhatsApp. After that, the driver cannot wait longer: the fixed price is based on one hour of airport parking and the driver's time, and with more than 30 transfers a day, every booking is scheduled back to back.
With flight tracking, normal delays are covered. If your flight is delayed by more than 5 hours, we cannot guarantee a new pickup at the last minute, because the new arrival time is uncertain and other transfers are already scheduled. Message us as soon as the delay is announced: we always do our best to rearrange, but it depends on the number of bookings that day. With a fixed-time pickup, the time slot is reserved for you and cannot be changed on the day, even if your flight is delayed or something unexpected happens.
Two hours before your flight lands, we send you your driver's name and phone number on WhatsApp. If you are still in the air, the message will be waiting for you as soon as you switch on your phone. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to what travellers ask us most, before they book.
Where do I meet my driver at Dubai?
At the place named in your confirmation: for Dubai that is either the airport's official meeting point or the arrivals exit, where the driver holds a board with your name. The message also gives the driver's number, so if you cannot see them a one-line WhatsApp sorts it in a moment.
How far is Sharjah from Dubai, and how long does the transfer take?
It is a direct drive. Traffic at rush hour or on holiday weekends can add a little; the price of your Dubai to Sharjah transfer is fixed in advance, so a slower drive never costs more.
What is Sharjah like?
Sharjah is the emirate and city immediately north-east of Dubai, on the Gulf coast, about 20 km from Dubai Airport. Sharjah is the UAE's cultural capital, a large city of lagoons, museums and traditional souks directly bordering Dubai. Its restored Heart of Sharjah quarter preserves coral-stone houses, Al Hisn fort and old markets, while the Sharjah Museum of Islamic Civilization, the Sharjah Art Museum and the Sharjah Aquarium draw visitors. Families gather around Khalid Lagoon at Al Majaz Waterfront and the canal-side Al Qasba, and the blue-tiled Central Souq and Al Noor Mosque are city landmarks. Sharjah also has beaches at Al Khan and Al Mamzar on the Dubai border.
Where do visitors stay in Sharjah?
The usual choices: Al Majaz and Khalid Lagoon, Al Khan beach area, Buhaira Corniche and Al Taawun. Our transfer goes to any hotel or address there at the same fixed price for the vehicle - just send the hotel name on WhatsApp.
What is there to do in Sharjah?
The highlights are Heart of Sharjah heritage area, Sharjah Museum of Islamic Civilization, Al Majaz Waterfront, Al Noor Mosque and Central Souq (Blue Souk). The WhatsApp desk can arrange a car for a day out once you have settled in.
Anything I should know about arriving in Sharjah?
The Dubai–Sharjah border roads are among the most congested in the UAE at rush hour, so avoid weekday mornings and early evenings if you can.
Is a private transfer cheaper than an airport taxi from Dubai to Sharjah?
Compare the whole cost, not the starting fare. A taxi from Dubai to Sharjah adds the meter in traffic, a night rate and sometimes tolls; the private transfer is one figure agreed in writing before you fly, whatever the traffic does. For anyone not travelling alone with a small bag, that figure is normally the cheaper one.
What is the best way to get from Dubai to Sharjah?
With luggage, a family or after a long flight, a pre-booked private transfer is the easiest and most comfortable way: door to door, no queue, no changes. Public transport can work for a solo traveller with a small bag, but it means tickets, transfers and stairs; an airport taxi means the meter. A private car takes you straight to your hotel in Sharjah.
Is there a bus, train or metro from Dubai to Sharjah?
The Dubai Metro Red Line runs from DXB Terminals 1 and 3 through Downtown to the Marina and Expo, and it is genuinely useful for a light traveller; with family luggage, or for a villa or hotel off the line, a car door to door is faster and cooler. For most visitors the private transfer is simpler: it starts at the arrivals door and ends at the hotel, and the fixed price covers the whole vehicle.
What happens if my flight to Dubai is delayed?
Normal delays are covered when you choose flight tracking: the driver arrives at your real landing time and waits up to 60 minutes. A delay of more than 5 hours, or a fixed-time booking, cannot be rescheduled at the last minute because other transfers are booked before and after yours - message us early and we do our best.
Do you meet late-night and early-morning flights?
Yes. The Dubai to Sharjah transfer runs around the clock, and our WhatsApp desk is answered day and night. Tell us the flight number and we plan the pickup for the real arrival time, whatever the hour.
Which vehicle will I get for the Dubai to Sharjah transfer?
You choose when you book: Sedan (1–3 passengers), Minivan (1–7 passengers) and Sprinter (8–13 passengers). The vans are Mercedes, Volkswagen, Ford Transit and Peugeot Traveller models, air-conditioned and with proper luggage space. If you are unsure, tell us how many passengers and bags you have and we recommend the right one.
Is the transfer private, or shared with other passengers?
Private. The vehicle is yours alone from Dubai to Sharjah, with no other passengers and no extra stops unless you ask for one. That is what makes the fixed price possible.
Can you provide child seats?
Yes - say the ages of the children when you book and the driver brings the right child seats or boosters at no extra charge. Please mention it in the WhatsApp conversation so the correct vehicle is sent.
Are tolls, parking and waiting time included in the price?
Yes. The fixed price for the Dubai to Sharjah transfer covers the vehicle, the driver, fuel, road tolls, airport parking and up to 60 minutes of waiting after your flight lands (90 at some airports). There is nothing to pay the driver on the day unless you have added something to the booking.
Can we stop on the way from Dubai to Sharjah?
Usually, yes - a short stop for a shop, a sim card or a photo is no problem if you mention it when booking, and a longer stop or a sightseeing detour is quoted as part of the same transfer. Tell the desk what you have in mind and they confirm it in writing.
How far in advance should I book the Dubai to Sharjah transfer?
As soon as you have your flight - it takes a minute on WhatsApp and secures the vehicle you want. Same-day and next-day bookings are often possible too; message the desk with the flight number and they will tell you at once whether a car is available.
How do I book the Dubai to Sharjah transfer?
Send us four things - flight number, date, how many of you, and the hotel in Sharjah - through the form on this page or directly on WhatsApp. You get a written confirmation with the fixed price, the vehicle and the meeting point at Dubai, usually within minutes.
Can I change or cancel my booking?
Yes, through the same WhatsApp conversation. The terms depend on conditions such as how close to the pickup time the change is requested, so our team explains exactly what applies to your booking when you ask - always before any payment.
Which language does the driver speak?
It depends on the country, the city and the time of your transfer, so we do not promise a particular language for the driver on the Dubai to Sharjah route. Tell us on WhatsApp which language you would prefer and we do our best to match it. The WhatsApp desk that confirms your booking and stays with you during the trip always works in Arabic and English, at any hour.
Can I book the return trip from Sharjah to Dubai as well?
Of course. Send the departure flight time and the hotel, and we collect you from the door with a comfortable margin for Dubai. Booking both directions together keeps everything on one confirmation, and any change of plan is handled in the same chat.
