Getting from the airport to the city
About the airport
Sharjah International (SHJ) is the home base of Air Arabia, the Middle East's first low-cost carrier, which is why flying into Sharjah is often cheaper than flying into neighbouring Dubai. The airport is 15 km from central Sharjah and just 25 km from Downtown Dubai — many travellers fly in here and stay or sightsee in Dubai.
Terminals and facilities
The terminal is compact, with a duty-free area and a few cafes — passport control queues are usually shorter than at Dubai's airports.
Parking
Parking in front of the terminal, with hourly and daily rates.
