Sharjah International Airport to Al Nahda (Dubai)

Al Nahda in Dubai sits right on the Sharjah border, between Al Qusais and Al Mamzar, which makes Sharjah International one of the most convenient airports for it, often a quarter of an hour away.

Two Al Nahdas, one border

There is an Al Nahda on each side of the border: Al Nahda in Sharjah, around Sahara Centre, and Al Nahda 1 and 2 in Dubai. They face each other across the boundary roads, and the drive between them can be longer than it looks. Check the emirate in your address when you book, or drop a pin on your building, so the chauffeur goes to the right one.

The short drive from SHJ

From the terminal the chauffeur heads west towards the border and crosses into Dubai on one of the boundary roads, then into Al Nahda's grid of apartment buildings. Late at night it is fifteen minutes; when the evening rush is heading into Sharjah on the same roads, it can take thirty-five.

Even though the drive is short, it crosses into Dubai, so the cross-emirate surcharge is part of the fixed fare shown before you book.

A residential neighbourhood

Al Nahda is mainly apartment blocks, schools and neighbourhood shops, with Al Nahda Pond Park at its heart and Dubai Metro Green Line stations nearby. Many buildings look alike and share service roads, so the exact building name or a pin on the entrance matters more here than a street name.

Near Al Qusais and Al Mamzar

Al Nahda borders Al Qusais to the south and Al Mamzar towards the coast, so Al Mamzar Beach Park and the Deira hotels are a short drive away. For residents flying out, the same short distance works in reverse: the drive to SHJ is quick at most hours, except in the evening when the border roads fill with traffic heading into Sharjah.

Without Meet & Greet: the parking the airport designates for pre-booked cars, marked across the airport; it can move, so follow the markings. With Meet & Greet: inside the arrivals hall, with a name board.
