Full Description
Sharjah Airport to Al Majaz transfer: the easiest way to get there
The best way to get from Sharjah Airport to Al Majaz depends on what you are carrying and who you are travelling with, but for almost everyone arriving with luggage, family or after a long flight, a pre-booked private transfer is the answer. Haqqi Tours' Sharjah Airport to Al Majaz airport transfer is met at arrivals, priced in advance and driven by someone who does this route every week.
This page covers everything travellers ask about the Sharjah Airport to Al Majaz 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 Al Majaz in Sharjah is like, where to stay and eat, when to travel, where you meet your driver at Sharjah Airport, which vehicles we use and how the booking works.
How far is Al Majaz from Sharjah Airport?
The distance from Sharjah Airport to Al Majaz is about 18 km by road, and the transfer usually takes around 25 minutes. Traffic is the only variable - our drivers know the route and the times to avoid, and they choose the fastest way on the day. Because the Sharjah Airport to Al Majaz transfer price is fixed in advance, a slow drive never costs you more, which is the first difference from an airport taxi on the meter.
The fastest road route runs via the E88, and your driver adjusts it on the day for traffic and roadworks.
From Sharjah Airport the route heads west into the city along Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road or Al Wahda Street, then towards Khalid Lagoon.
Travellers often compare the drive with a bus or train connection; with luggage and a family, door-to-door by private car is almost always faster in total than any combination of public transport.
Arriving at Sharjah Airport (SHJ)
Sharjah International Airport (SHJ) is a compact single-terminal airport about 13 km from Al Majaz and only about 20 km from Dubai's Deira district.
A little knowledge of Sharjah Airport 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 Sharjah Airport to Al Majaz drive begins.
Searches for "SHJ to Al Majaz" or "SHJ airport transfer" land here for a reason: SHJ is the airport code for Sharjah Airport, and this is the private-car service that connects it with Al Majaz.
Sharjah Airport to Al Majaz at a glance
Service: private transfer, your own vehicle from Sharjah Airport to Al Majaz, door to door. Route: about 18 km, around 25 minutes depending on traffic. 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 Sharjah Airport, 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 Sharjah Airport to Al Majaz?
The airport taxi fare from Sharjah Airport to Al Majaz is unpredictable: meters, night tariffs, tolls and traffic all move it, and you only learn the total at the door. A pre-booked Sharjah Airport to Al Majaz transfer is the opposite - one fixed cost for the vehicle, however long the drive takes, with the price agreed before your trip.
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 Sharjah Airport to Al Majaz per person - and by far the easiest. Public transport to Al Majaz 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 Al Majaz, 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 to Al Majaz: is there a bus, train or metro?
Sharjah has no metro; buses run from the airport to the Al Jubail station and to Dubai, with a change for most hotels. The airport is small and quick, and the drive to the lagoon or across to Dubai is short outside rush hour.
So the honest comparison for Al Majaz is this: public transport is the cheapest option for one person with a cabin bag and time to spare, and a private Sharjah Airport to Al Majaz transfer is the better one for everybody else - two or more travellers, families, older relatives, anyone landing late, anyone with proper luggage. The price is per vehicle, not per person, which is why a family of four often pays less than it would on four bus or train tickets plus the taxi at the end.
About Al Majaz
Al Majaz is a central Sharjah district on the shore of Khalid Lagoon, about 15 km west of Sharjah Airport. Al Majaz is one of Sharjah's liveliest areas, a district of apartment towers, hotels and restaurants wrapped around the lagoon. Its heart is Al Majaz Waterfront, a landscaped promenade with cafés, play areas and the Sharjah Fountain, which performs musical water shows in the evenings. Nearby are Al Majaz Park, the open-air Al Majaz Amphitheatre and, across the water, the Al Noor Mosque on the Buhaira Corniche. The canal-side Al Qasba, with its observation wheel and cultural venues, is a short walk away, and the heritage area is a quick drive north.
Staying near Al Majaz puts you within easy reach of Al Khan and the beach side, Muwaileh and University City near the airport, Al Nahda on the Dubai border and Khorfakkan and the east coast - each a different side of Sharjah, and each a short drive once your bags are at the hotel.
Things to do in Al Majaz
What to see in Al Majaz: Al Majaz Waterfront, Sharjah Fountain shows, Al Majaz Amphitheatre, Al Noor Mosque across the lagoon and Al Qasba canal. Ask the driver which to do first on the drive from Sharjah Airport - they know the area, and the desk arranges transport for any of them later in your stay.
Where to stay in Al Majaz
Where you stay in Al Majaz makes no difference to the price of the transfer, which is fixed for the whole vehicle. The places most travellers choose: Al Majaz lagoon-front towers, Buhaira Corniche, Al Qasba area and Al Taawun - and any other address is fine too.
Al Majaz's lagoon roads are one-way in places and busy in the evening, so give the building name and nearest landmark, such as Al Majaz Waterfront.
Eating well after the Sharjah Airport to Al Majaz drive
The first meal in Sharjah sets the tone: Indian and Pakistani grills in Rolla, karak by the Corniche, shawarma on King Faisal Street and luqaimat with date syrup are the local answers. A late flight into Sharjah Airport is no problem - tell the WhatsApp desk the landing time and they will point you to what is open near Al Majaz when you arrive.
Best time to travel to Al Majaz
November to March is the pleasant season; summer is hot and humid, and the Sharjah-Dubai roads are among the slowest in the country on weekday mornings and evenings.
Seasonal traffic is the driver's problem, not yours: the Sharjah Airport to Al Majaz price is agreed in advance and a slower drive costs nothing extra. If you are travelling at a busy time, let the desk know your plans for the day of arrival and they will suggest the best pickup timing.
Meeting your driver at Sharjah Airport
Where you meet your driver depends on Sharjah Airport: a set meeting point inside arrivals, a designated exit, or a name board held just after customs. Rather than guess, we send the exact instructions with your WhatsApp confirmation - the meeting place, the driver's name and number, and what to do if you cannot see them. If you choose flight tracking, your driver is at arrivals the minute you land.
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 Sharjah Airport.
Our vehicles for the Al Majaz 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.
As a guide, the sedan suits one to three people with normal suitcases, the minivan or GMC a family or group of up to seven with their luggage, and the Sprinter larger parties of up to thirteen; there is cold water in the car, phone chargers in most models, and no smoking.
Who books the Al Majaz transfer
The Sharjah Airport to Al Majaz transfer suits anyone who values a plan: honeymooners heading for a hotel in Sharjah with more luggage than they admit, parents travelling with small children, friends sharing a Sprinter, colleagues on a work trip who need an invoice, and grandparents who would rather be met than find their own way. Because the price is per vehicle, the more of you there are the better it compares with taxis and tickets.
The transfer is the first thing most guests book with us and rarely the last; day trips from Al Majaz and the ride back to Sharjah Airport are arranged in the same conversation.
How to book your Al Majaz transfer
Send the form on this page, or write to us on WhatsApp: flight number, date, passengers, luggage and hotel. Within a few minutes a member of our team confirms your Sharjah Airport to Al Majaz transfer with the price fixed, the vehicle chosen and the meeting point at Sharjah Airport explained. Everything is in writing, in English or Arabic.
Changes and cancellations are handled through the same WhatsApp conversation.

Good to know before you land at Sharjah Airport
Many guests fly into Sharjah for Dubai hotels or the reverse - tell us both the airport and the emirate of your hotel so the fixed price is right the first time.
Note the terminal or hall your flight uses at Sharjah Airport, and if you change flights before travel tell the desk - the pickup is tracked against the flight number we hold.
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.
Al Majaz to Sharjah Airport: the return transfer
Heading back to Sharjah Airport 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 Al Majaz; 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 Al Majaz transfers
We run airport transfers in dozens of cities, and the Al Majaz route follows the same simple promise as every other: one fixed price for the whole vehicle, agreed in writing; a driver who tracks your flight and meets you at arrivals; a vehicle matched to your group and your luggage; and a desk that answers. It is the way we would want to arrive ourselves.
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 Sharjah Airport?
At the place named in your confirmation: for Sharjah Airport 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 Al Majaz from Sharjah Airport, and how long does the transfer take?
About 18 km by road, which usually takes around 25 minutes. Traffic at rush hour or on holiday weekends can add a little; the price of your Sharjah Airport to Al Majaz transfer is fixed in advance, so a slower drive never costs more.
What is Al Majaz like?
Al Majaz is a central Sharjah district on the shore of Khalid Lagoon, about 15 km west of Sharjah Airport. Al Majaz is one of Sharjah's liveliest areas, a district of apartment towers, hotels and restaurants wrapped around the lagoon. Its heart is Al Majaz Waterfront, a landscaped promenade with cafés, play areas and the Sharjah Fountain, which performs musical water shows in the evenings. Nearby are Al Majaz Park, the open-air Al Majaz Amphitheatre and, across the water, the Al Noor Mosque on the Buhaira Corniche. The canal-side Al Qasba, with its observation wheel and cultural venues, is a short walk away, and the heritage area is a quick drive north.
Where do visitors stay in Al Majaz?

What is there to do in Al Majaz?
The highlights are Al Majaz Waterfront, Sharjah Fountain shows, Al Majaz Amphitheatre, Al Noor Mosque across the lagoon and Al Qasba canal. The WhatsApp desk can arrange a car for a day out once you have settled in.
Anything I should know about arriving in Al Majaz?
Al Majaz's lagoon roads are one-way in places and busy in the evening, so give the building name and nearest landmark, such as Al Majaz Waterfront.
Which road does the Sharjah Airport to Al Majaz transfer take?
Usually the fastest route via the E88, about 18 km and around 25 minutes in normal traffic. The driver checks traffic and roadworks on the day and takes whichever way is quickest; the price stays the same.
Is a private transfer cheaper than an airport taxi from Sharjah Airport to Al Majaz?
Compare the whole cost, not the starting fare. A taxi from Sharjah Airport to Al Majaz 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 Sharjah Airport to Al Majaz?
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 Al Majaz.
Is there a bus, train or metro from Sharjah Airport to Al Majaz?
Sharjah has no metro; buses run from the airport to the Al Jubail station and to Dubai, with a change for most hotels. The airport is small and quick, and the drive to the lagoon or across to Dubai is short outside rush hour. 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 Sharjah Airport 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 Sharjah Airport to Al Majaz 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 Sharjah Airport to Al Majaz 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?
Always private. We do not run shared shuttles: the car or van from Sharjah Airport to Al Majaz carries your party only, leaves when you are ready, and goes straight to your address.
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 Sharjah Airport to Al Majaz 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 Sharjah Airport to Al Majaz?
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 Sharjah Airport to Al Majaz 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 Sharjah Airport to Al Majaz transfer?
Send us four things - flight number, date, how many of you, and the hotel in Al Majaz - 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 Sharjah Airport, 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 Sharjah Airport to Al Majaz 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 Al Majaz to Sharjah Airport as well?
Yes, and most guests do. Give us the departure flight and the hotel, and the desk sets a pickup time from Al Majaz with enough margin for check-in at Sharjah Airport. The return is the same fixed-price service, on the same confirmation if you book both together.
