Sharjah

Most visitors to Sharjah will probably be entering through the Dubai International Airport if arriving by air. Travelling from Dubai International Airport to Sharjah is quite convenient, with multiple transport options catering to different preferences and budgets. For the most direct route, taxis are readily available and provide a door-to-door service, taking around 30 minutes depending on traffic. Ride-hailing apps like Uber and Careem also operate in the city, offering an easy way to book a ride. For a more economical option, the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) operates several bus routes connecting Dubai and Sharjah. Buses such as the E303, E306, E307, and E307A frequently run from various key locations in Dubai to the Al Jubail Bus Station in Sharjah, with travel times ranging from 30 to 50 minutes.

Sharjah boasts a relatively new public bus system, with bus lines connecting most of the city's key locations to one another. Bright-orange buses stop at designated bus stops (wave to the driver to make sure he does make a stop). Tickets may be bought directly from the driver, but an electronic pre-paid 'Sayer Card' is now available to purchase at bus stations around the city. Consult the website for details on specific routes and timetables.

Finding taxis in Sharjah is quite straightforward, with a plethora of efficient, well-maintained, and metered vehicles available. In addition, ride-hailing apps like Uber and Careem operate in the city, offering a convenient alternative to traditional taxis.

There are several post offices in Sharjah, which are generally closed on Fridays and public holidays, and may have shorter working hours during Ramadan. Mail in the UAE is typically delivered to P.O. boxes rather than physical addresses, and renting a P.O. box is a common practice among residents and businesses. Tourists usually cannot rent a P.O. box. Mail can be sent to international destinations through Emirates Post, which uses distinctive red post boxes nationwide.
