Getting from Sharjah Airport to your hotel
Although the Muwasalat bus company offers rides from Sharjah Airport into the city center, the journey time is double that of a taxi, and you will be dropped off at the Rolla Terminal, which is in the middle of extremely busy streets in the city. From here, you will then need to drag your heavy luggage to your hotel, which could be a 30-minute walk from the bus station.
Instead, you can take a private and fast Sharjah Airport taxi directly to your hotel in the city. This door-to-door transfer will take just 15 minutes and your loved ones and personal belongings will be safe and secure throughout the entire journey.
