bus.

Planning Your
Journey Time
Travel
time between Dubai and Sharjah really depends on traffic. If you are going in
the morning (7-9 AM) or evening (5-8 PM), it can take 30-35 minutes longer in
rush hour.
If you have an international flight, it's better to leave Dubai at least 90 minutes early. For domestic flights, 60-75 minutes plus airport time is usually enough.
On Fridays, traffic gets heavier in the afternoon because of weekend travel. It’s better to leave earlier on those days.
Best Routes to Take
The
fastest way to Sharjah Airport is usually Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road
(E311). It skips the highway and bypasses city center traffic.
You can also take Al Ittihad Road (E11), but it’s usually busy since it goes through the city. It’s mainly useful if E311 has traffic, construction, or an accident.
Al Weam Transport’s drivers know the traffic in real-time and the best alternate routes. They adjust the way automatically so you can reach faster.
Cost Comparison
Public buses cost around AED 10–15 per person, but they take more time, and you might need to change buses. Still, they are a good option if you're alone and want to save money.
Regular taxis usually cost between AED 80 and AED 120. Prices can go higher in peak hours because of surge rates. Also, since you can’t book, there’s no guarantee they will be available right away.
With Al Weam Transport private transfers, the price is fixed. no hidden charges or surge rates. And if you’re with family or a group, the group rates make it a really smart and affordable choice.
Booking Your Transport
