Sharjah International Airport to Deira

Across the border into Dubai
The chauffeur crosses into Dubai either on Al Ittihad Road, past the Al Mamzar Salik gates, or on Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road and Airport Road, which has no Salik gate. At quiet times Deira is around twenty-five minutes from the terminal. On a weekday morning, with Sharjah's commuters heading into Dubai, allow up to fifty.
Because the trip ends in another emirate, the cross-emirate surcharge is inside the fixed fare you see before booking.
Souks, the creek and Al Rigga
Deira's hotels cluster around Al Rigga and Port Saeed, along the Deira Corniche and beside the creek near the Gold and Spice Souks. The souk lanes are for walking, so the chauffeur stops at the closest road. For a hotel or an office in Al Rigga, choose the exact building, as the streets are dense and one-way in places.
Why fly into SHJ for Deira
Air Arabia and many other airlines fly into Sharjah, and for Deira it can be as convenient as Dubai International, with a quieter terminal. For your flight home, a pickup in Deira heading to SHJ runs against the morning traffic but with it in the evening, so plan the return time accordingly.
Markets beyond the Gold Souk
Deira's trading life goes well beyond the Gold and Spice Souks. The Waterfront Market near the Deira Corniche sells fresh fish and produce, and Naif Souk and the streets around Al Murar are full of wholesale and household shops. For any of them, choose the market by name, as the parking areas and entrances are on different streets.
