SHJ / SHARJAH AIRPORT TO DUBAI
Sharjah airport to Dubai: a pre-booked private transfer
Sharjah International Airport (SHJ) sits close to Dubai and is a popular arrival point, especially for Air Arabia flights. If you are staying in Dubai, Belgravia Transfers can arrange a private car from SHJ to your hotel or address, with one price agreed by email before you land.
- Fixed quote agreed before you travel
- Flight-aware pickup planned around your arrival time
- Meeting point confirmed in writing
- Right vehicle for your passengers and luggage
Sharjah airport is not a Dubai airport
Dubai has two international airports, Dubai International (DXB) and Al Maktoum International (DWC). Sharjah International Airport (SHJ) is a separate airport in the neighbouring emirate. Check the airport code on your ticket, because the onward journey, the taxi rules and the drive time all depend on it. Our Dubai airports guide covers DXB and DWC.
The RTA states that Dubai Taxi does not cover trips that start in another emirate, so a Dubai taxi will not pick you up at SHJ. Arriving travellers usually choose a Sharjah taxi, a bus, or a pre-booked car.
Sharjah airport to Dubai taxi or private car?
| Taxi from Sharjah airport | Belgravia private transfer | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Metered, known at the end | One quote agreed by email |
| Pickup | Airport taxi queue | Pre-arranged meeting, planned around your flight |
| Vehicle | Next available car | Chosen for your passengers and luggage |
| Traffic into Dubai | Waiting time added to the meter | Factored into the quote |
| Return trip | Arrange separately | Can be quoted together |
Traffic between Sharjah and Dubai can be heavy at commuting times, which affects a metered fare. For more on how meters work, see the Dubai taxi fare guide.
Popular Dubai destinations from SHJ
Travellers from Sharjah airport most often head to Downtown Dubai, Dubai Marina and Palm Jumeirah, as well as business addresses in DIFC and Business Bay. Give us the hotel name and full address, plus the tower or entrance for large developments.
Some travellers choose Sharjah airport because of the flight schedule or fare, then stay in Dubai for the rest of the trip. That works well with a planned transfer: you land, collect your bags and go straight to your hotel, without having to work out which taxi can cross the emirate boundary. Corporate visitors can send several journeys at once, for example an SHJ arrival, meetings in Dubai and a departure from DXB, and receive one combined quote.
If you also need a trip from Dubai into Sharjah later in your stay, our Dubai to Sharjah transfer page explains what to send.
Vehicles and families
Tell us how many passengers and cases you have so we can suggest the right vehicle. Child seats can be requested in advance.
For a driver who meets you inside the terminal, ask about meet and greet when you enquire.
Tips for arriving at SHJ
Sharjah airport is busy with short and medium-haul flights, and arrivals can cluster at certain times of day. Sharing your flight number helps us plan the pickup around the real landing time rather than the scheduled one. After landing, keep your phone on so your driver can reach you.
- Confirm the airport code SHJ on your booking
- Include the flight number and scheduled arrival time
- Give the full Dubai address, with the tower or entrance for large developments
- Mention extra luggage, child seats or accessibility needs in advance
Traffic between Sharjah and Dubai is often heaviest on weekday mornings towards Dubai and on weekday evenings towards Sharjah. Late-evening and night arrivals usually see lighter roads. We confirm a realistic estimate for your time of travel in the quote.
If you are visiting more than one emirate, our inter-emirate transfers page explains how to send a multi-day itinerary in a single enquiry, including trips to Abu Dhabi.
