Full Description
Sharjah Airport to Dubai Marina transfer: the easiest way to get there
Getting from Sharjah Airport to Dubai Marina 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 Marina 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 Marina 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 Marina 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.
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 Dubai Marina drive begins.
Searches for "SHJ to Dubai Marina" 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 Marina.
Sharjah Airport to Dubai Marina at a glance
Service: private transfer, your own vehicle from Sharjah Airport to Dubai Marina, 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. 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 Dubai Marina?
The airport taxi fare from Sharjah Airport to Dubai Marina 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 Dubai Marina 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 Dubai Marina per person - and by far the easiest. Public transport to Dubai Marina 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 Marina, 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 Marina: 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.
If you are weighing the Sharjah Airport to Dubai Marina options, think about the last kilometre. Trains and buses stop at stations; hotels are somewhere else. With a private transfer the driver takes the route that ends at your door in Sharjah, helps with the bags, and the price agreed on WhatsApp does not change if the trains are on strike or the road is slow.
About Dubai Marina
Dubai Marina is a waterfront district in south-west Dubai beside JBR, about 55 km from Sharjah Airport. Dubai Marina is a high-rise waterfront neighbourhood built around a man-made canal, where the Marina Walk promenade loops past cafés, restaurants and moored yachts. Next door, Jumeirah Beach Residence offers a busy public beach, The Walk and The Beach leisure area, facing Bluewaters Island and the Ain Dubai wheel. Dubai Marina Mall, the Dubai Tram and metro stations make it well connected, and Palm Jumeirah is close by. From Sharjah it lies at the far end of Dubai, so the journey crosses almost the whole city.
Staying near Dubai Marina puts you within easy reach of Khorfakkan and the east coast, Al Majaz waterfront and Khalid Lagoon, the Heart of Sharjah and the old souks and Al Qasba canal - each a different side of Sharjah, and each a short drive once your bags are at the hotel.
Things to do in Dubai Marina
What to see in Dubai Marina: Marina Walk promenade, JBR beach and The Walk, Dubai Marina Mall, Yacht and dhow cruises and Views to Bluewaters and Ain Dubai. 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 Dubai Marina
Hotels and places to stay in Dubai Marina: Marina towers, JBR, Jumeirah Lake Towers and Palm Jumeirah. Tell us yours when you book and the driver plans the last few streets before you land.
This is a long cross-city drive; allow extra time at peak hours and give the tower or hotel name for drop-off.
Eating well after the Sharjah Airport to Dubai Marina drive
Once the bags are down, Sharjah rewards a walk to dinner. Things worth trying near Dubai Marina: shawarma on King Faisal Street, luqaimat with date syrup, Emirati breakfast of balaleet and chebab and grilled fish at the Al Jubail market. If you land late and want somewhere open, say so on WhatsApp and the desk suggests a place near your hotel - or ask the driver on the way in from Sharjah Airport.
Best time to travel to Dubai Marina
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.
Whatever the month, the transfer runs around the clock and the fixed price is the same at 3 a.m. as at noon. What the season affects is journey time, and our drivers adjust the route and the pickup plan for Dubai Marina accordingly - one more reason to give us the flight number when you book.
Meeting your driver at Sharjah Airport
Your confirmation message on WhatsApp includes the meeting arrangement for Sharjah Airport - 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 Sharjah Airport.
Our vehicles for the Dubai Marina 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.
Child seats and booster seats are available on request - say the ages of the children when you book and we bring the right ones. Extra-large luggage, sports equipment and wheelchairs are all fine; just mention them so the right vehicle is sent.
Every vehicle is checked and cleaned between journeys, and the drivers know the hotels of Dubai Marina and their side streets, so you are delivered to the right gate, not just the main road.
Who books the Dubai Marina transfer
Who uses a private transfer from Sharjah Airport to Dubai Marina? 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.
Many guests add a second leg later in the trip: a day out from Dubai Marina, an onward transfer or the return to Sharjah Airport. It is all handled in the chat you already have open.
How to book your Dubai Marina 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 Dubai Marina. 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 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.
Tell us in advance about anything that affects the vehicle - child seats and ages, a wheelchair, skis, golf bags, a pushchair, extra suitcases - so the right car or van is sent to Sharjah Airport.
Dubai Marina to Sharjah Airport: the return transfer
The same service runs the other way. For a Dubai Marina to Sharjah Airport transfer we collect you from your hotel at an agreed time, with a comfortable margin for check-in and security at Sharjah Airport, and the driver helps with the luggage at both ends. Book both directions together and the desk keeps them on one confirmation.
The Dubai Marina to Sharjah Airport leg is the same fixed price, and the driver drops the bags at the right departures entrance so you are not hunting for the terminal yourself.

Why travellers choose Haqqi Tours for Dubai Marina transfers
We run airport transfers in dozens of cities, and the Sharjah Airport to Dubai Marina 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?
Your WhatsApp confirmation tells you. Airports differ - Sharjah Airport may use an indoor meeting point, a set exit or a name board just past customs - so rather than a general rule we send the exact spot for your flight, with the driver's name and number. Walk out, look where the message says, and your driver is there.
How far is Dubai Marina from Sharjah Airport, 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 Sharjah Airport to Dubai Marina transfer is fixed in advance, so a slower drive never costs more.

Dubai Marina is a high-rise waterfront neighbourhood built around a man-made canal, where the Marina Walk promenade loops past cafés, restaurants and moored yachts. Next door, Jumeirah Beach Residence offers a busy public beach, The Walk and The Beach leisure area, facing Bluewaters Island and the Ain Dubai wheel.

Anything I should know about arriving in Dubai Marina?
This is a long cross-city drive; allow extra time at peak hours and give the tower or hotel name for drop-off.
Is a private transfer cheaper than an airport taxi from Sharjah Airport to Dubai Marina?
Compare the whole cost, not the starting fare. A taxi from Sharjah Airport to Dubai Marina 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 Dubai Marina?
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 Dubai Marina.
Is there a bus, train or metro from Sharjah Airport to Dubai Marina?
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?
With flight tracking, your driver follows your real landing time and waits up to 60 minutes after you land (90 at some airports). If the delay is more than 5 hours, message us on WhatsApp as soon as it is announced: we always do our best to rearrange the Sharjah Airport to Dubai Marina pickup, but a last-minute change cannot be promised, as it depends on the bookings that day.
Do you meet late-night and early-morning flights?
Yes. The Sharjah Airport to Dubai Marina 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 Dubai Marina 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 Sharjah Airport to Dubai Marina, 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 Sharjah Airport to Dubai Marina 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 Dubai Marina?
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 Dubai Marina 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 Dubai Marina transfer?
Send us four things - flight number, date, how many of you, and the hotel in Dubai Marina - 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 Dubai Marina 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 Dubai Marina 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 Dubai Marina 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.
