Dubai International Airport (DXB)

Most visitors to Sharjah will probably be entering through the Dubai International Airport if arriving by air. The airport is located in the neighbouring Emirate of Dubai, but getting there from Sharjah is possible with public transport. First, travellers may use the inter-Emirate bus line that departs from Al Jabal bus station (next to the Sharjah Fish market and the Sharjah Fruit and Vegetable market, near the Blue Souq). The bus may leave you at the Union Square Bus Station, Deira City Centre or Al Gubaiba. The trip lasts about one hour when traffic is low, but may take up to 3 hours during rush hour, so planning ahead is advised. Once in Dubai, travellers can choose between bus and metro to get to the airport. Buses 4, 11, 15, 33, 44 go to Terminal 1, while bus line 2 goes to Terminal 2. Buses stop at multiple locations around Dubai. The Dubai Municipality Pubic buses 401 and 402 also run to the airport. Bus Shuttle buses link the airport to the Ibn Batutta metro station. Public transportation tickets must be bought in advance prior to boarding. Taxi services are widely available both at the airport and from the city.
