Sharjah Airport to Dubai International Airport (DXB) transfer: the easiest way to get there
Getting from Sharjah Airport to Dubai International Airport (DXB) 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 Sharjah Airport to Dubai International Airport (DXB) 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 Sharjah Airport to Dubai International Airport (DXB) 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 Dubai International Airport (DXB) is like, what to see there and where to stay, where you meet your driver at Sharjah Airport, which vehicles we use and how the booking works.
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.
Whichever hall you come out of, the routine for a Sharjah Airport to Dubai International Airport (DXB) transfer is the same: collect your bags, clear passport control, switch on your phone, and follow the meeting instruction from your WhatsApp confirmation. Your driver already knows your flight has landed - every pickup at Sharjah Airport is tracked against the live arrival time - so there is no need to call, though a message is always welcome.
Searches for "SHJ to Dubai International Airport (DXB)" 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 Dubai International Airport (DXB).
Sharjah Airport to Dubai International Airport (DXB) at a glance
Service: private transfer, your own vehicle from Sharjah Airport to Dubai International Airport (DXB), 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 Sharjah Airport, at the point named in your confirmation, with flight tracking so a delay moves the pickup.

Taxi or private transfer from Sharjah Airport to Dubai International Airport (DXB)?
Travellers searching for "Sharjah Airport to Dubai International Airport (DXB) 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 Sharjah Airport to Dubai International Airport (DXB) 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 Sharjah Airport to Dubai International Airport (DXB) per person - and by far the easiest. Public transport to Dubai International Airport (DXB) 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 Dubai International Airport (DXB), 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 Sharjah Airport to Dubai International Airport (DXB): is there a bus, train or metro?
Public transport from Sharjah Airport runs mainly into Sharjah itself: 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. Reaching Dubai International Airport (DXB) from there means a further connection with your luggage, which is where a door-to-door car saves the most time and effort.
So the honest comparison for Dubai International Airport (DXB) 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 Dubai International Airport (DXB) 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.

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.

Why travellers choose Haqqi Tours for Dubai International Airport (DXB) transfers
Haqqi Tours is a travel company, not a taxi app: the people who confirm your Sharjah Airport to Dubai International Airport (DXB) transfer are the same people you can message at midnight when the flight is late. The price is fixed and written down, the driver is a licensed professional who does this road regularly, the vehicle is what we said it would be, and if anything on the day is not as promised, one message to the desk puts it right.
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?
It depends on the airport: some have a fixed meeting point inside arrivals, some a specific exit, and at others the driver waits just beyond customs with a sign carrying your name.

Tell the driver your terminal, as Terminal 2 is reached by a different road, and allow extra time for Sharjah–Dubai border traffic.
Is a private transfer cheaper than an airport taxi from Sharjah Airport to Dubai International Airport (DXB)?
Compare the whole cost, not the starting fare. A taxi from Sharjah Airport to Dubai International Airport (DXB) 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.

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.

Sharjah has no metro; buses run from the airport to the Al Jubail station and to Dubai, with a change for most hotels.

What happens if my flight to Sharjah Airport is delayed?
It depends on the option you chose. With flight tracking, the driver is there when you actually land, for delays of up to 5 hours; beyond that, tell us straight away and we try to find a new time, without a guarantee.
