Sharjah Airport to Ras Al Khaimah Transfer

Sharjah Airport to Ras Al Khaimah transfer: the easiest way to get there

The best way to get from Sharjah Airport to Ras Al Khaimah 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 Ras Al Khaimah 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 Ras Al Khaimah 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 Ras Al Khaimah 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.

How far is Ras Al Khaimah from Sharjah Airport?

The distance from Sharjah Airport to Ras Al Khaimah is about 45 km by road, and the transfer usually takes around 45 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 Ras Al Khaimah 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 follows the E311 (Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road) north-east past Ajman and Umm Al Quwain, with the Hajar Mountains appearing on the horizon.

If you are asking "how long does it take to get from Sharjah Airport to Ras Al Khaimah", the honest answer is 45 minutes in normal traffic, and your driver will tell you on the day if anything on the route has changed.

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 Ras Al Khaimah drive begins.

Searches for "SHJ to Ras Al Khaimah" 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 Ras Al Khaimah.

Taxi or private transfer from Sharjah Airport to Ras Al Khaimah?

Travellers searching for "Sharjah Airport to Ras Al Khaimah 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 Ras Al Khaimah 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 Ras Al Khaimah per person - and by far the easiest. Public transport to Ras Al Khaimah 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 Ras Al Khaimah, 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 Ras Al Khaimah: 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 Ras Al Khaimah 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 Ras Al Khaimah 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 Ras Al Khaimah 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 Ras Al Khaimah

Ras Al Khaimah is the northernmost emirate on the UAE's Gulf coast, below the Hajar Mountains, about 75 km north-east of Sharjah Airport. Ras Al Khaimah offers a mix of mountain scenery, beaches and heritage. Jebel Jais, the highest peak in the UAE, has a winding road to viewing platforms and a famous zipline, while the coast has resort beaches on Al Marjan Island and at Al Hamra. The city, divided by a mangrove-lined creek, holds the National Museum of Ras Al Khaimah in an old fort. Nearby are the hilltop Dhayah Fort and the abandoned pearling village of Jazirat Al Hamra. It is a quieter, more natural alternative to the busy cities to the south.

Things to do in Ras Al Khaimah

The reasons most visitors come to Ras Al Khaimah: Jebel Jais and its zipline, Al Marjan Island beaches, National Museum of Ras Al Khaimah, Dhayah Fort and Jazirat Al Hamra village. Arriving by private transfer means you start on them rested, with the luggage already at the hotel.

Sharjah itself is within reach for a day: Rain Room, Mleiha archaeological desert and Sharjah Museum of Islamic Civilization - the same WhatsApp desk arranges the car there and back.

Where to stay in Ras Al Khaimah

Hotels and places to stay in Ras Al Khaimah: Al Marjan Island, Al Hamra Village, Ras Al Khaimah Corniche and Jebel Jais area. Tell us yours when you book and the driver plans the last few streets before you land.

Ras Al Khaimah is spread out, so give the hotel's area; the Jebel Jais road climbs steeply and can be busy at weekends.

Meeting your driver at Sharjah Airport

Every airport is laid out differently, and Sharjah Airport is no exception: some airports have a fixed meeting point inside the terminal, some have a specific exit where drivers may wait, and at others the driver stands just beyond customs with a sign. Because of that we do not print one rule here. When we confirm your Sharjah Airport to Ras Al Khaimah transfer on WhatsApp, we tell you exactly where your driver will be, with the driver's name and a phone number you can message the moment 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 Ras Al Khaimah 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 Ras Al Khaimah and their side streets, so you are delivered to the right gate, not just the main road.

Who books the Ras Al Khaimah transfer

Who uses a private transfer to Ras Al Khaimah? 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.

The transfer is the first thing most guests book with us and rarely the last; day trips from Ras Al Khaimah and the ride back to Sharjah Airport are arranged in the same conversation.

How to book your Ras Al Khaimah transfer

To book the Ras Al Khaimah transfer, send us your flight details, your date, how many are travelling and where you are staying in Ras Al Khaimah - through the form here or straight on WhatsApp. We confirm the fixed price and the meeting arrangement in writing within minutes, and the same chat stays open for any change of plan before or during your trip.

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.

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 Sharjah Airport is the quickest way to say you are through.

If you are two households or a group, say how many bags as well as how many people; luggage decides the vehicle more often than passengers do.

Ras Al Khaimah to Sharjah Airport: the return transfer

The same service runs the other way. For a Ras Al Khaimah 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.

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 Ras Al Khaimah transfers

We run airport transfers in dozens of cities, and the Ras Al Khaimah 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.
