Airport Guide
Compare 5 airports near Sharjah
Sharjah International Airport (SHJ) is the nearest airport to the city center, located just 10.39 km away, serving both domestic and international flights, and offering the most budget-friendly transport options via Mowasalat bus services. Dubai International Airport (DXB), located 11.79 km away, is a major international hub that provides a mix of metro and bus connections to Sharjah, balancing cost and accessibility. Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC), at 57.59 km, primarily serves international traffic and relies heavily on taxis for efficient door-to-door transfer. Zayed International Airport (AUH) (126.77 km) and Al Ain International Airport (AAN) (122.28 km) are both distant international gateways that necessitate longer travel times by bus or taxi. For travelers, the best approach is to prioritize flights into SHJ or DXB to minimize ground transfer time. When using public transit, always carry a Nol card for Dubai-based travel or check Mowasalat schedules for Sharjah-specific routes. Be prepared for traffic variability during peak hours, particularly when transiting between different emirates.

Dubai International Airport Area Sharjah|7.22km from city center
The hotel is about a 30-minute drive from Dubai Airport, but it's actually in the Emirate of Sharjah, about 10 kilometers from the airport. While not far, traffic can be heavy in the mornings and evenings. It seems to have been a Ramada hotel previously. The rooms are spacious, clean, and comfortable, but the decor is a bit dated as the hotel has been around for some years. Breakfast is quite varied. Overall, if booked in advance, it offers good value for money.FromUS$28

The front desk staff are warm and attentive, making check-in quick and efficient, with thoughtful attention to detail. The hygiene is top-notch, and the facilities are complete and well-maintained, offering great value for money. The overall environment is quiet and elegant. I'll definitely choose to stay here again on my next trip and highly recommend it to everyone.FromUS$35

Due to a lack of available rooms matching our booking, the hotel split our family, including our children, into two separate rooms, which caused significant inconvenience. They offered complimentary breakfasts as compensation, but it certainly didn't make up for the trouble. Families with two or more children booking two-room accommodations should be aware that such rooms might not always be available.FromUS$28

the service is very good and very helpful.
they have restaurant too and its not that expensive, also the food is delicious.
we stayed 2 nights and they offered a cleaning service at the second day.
the location is near by the road so its a little bit noisy, but it was near by the hypermarket too.
overall, it was a very recommended hotel.

I booked the room at the very last minute, and when i checked in i wasnt expected that i was upgraded to the club room.

Sharjah City Center Sharjah|4.02km from city center
The ancient Persian Empire intertwined with modern culture. I stumbled upon The Chedi in Sharjah on Trip.com, and after booking, I curiously researched the hotel's history. The Al Midfa family's century-old ancestral home and shops are located on the Sharjah side near the Persian Gulf. The family partnered with GHM Group, renovating the old mansion into The Chedi Sharjah in 2019. Interestingly, the GHM Group was also founded by Adrian Zecha, the founder of Aman, and you can definitely feel a lot of Aman's influence in the hotel's interior and exterior design and location philosophy. The price is lower than Aman, so while the design is very similar, it hasn't quite reached Aman's level of extreme seclusion and exceptionally high service quality.
I just hope the service can improve! The restaurant's responsiveness was a bit lacking; I waited about fifteen minutes for a tea bag. The attitude was good, though, and it would be even better if the front desk staff were a bit more enthusiastic.FromUS$114

Overall a great hotel with great location and amenities.
We were disappointed a little bit about drinking water bottles in our room that they can provide only one big water bottle per day and we had to call again and again to accept provided us some water!!
Other than that, the pool was fantastic and the beach. Cleanliness of the hotel is something to highlight ❤️FromUS$67

I booked my stay during Ramadan for 3D2N. Room view was amazing, overlooking Al Majaz Waterfront. Plenty of discount stores at walking distance since the hotel located at city centre. Big spacious room, clean toilet, plenty of toiletries were given. I booked my room with breakfast, I would say the breakfast spread was amazing. There was a breakfast section for kids too, that was very cute. Staffs were very attentive and interactive. Ikram, Aleesha, Win, Aakash, Manager ( I forgot the name ) and every other front desk staffs were very attentive and very helpful. Definitely will stay here when I am back to Sharjah in future. Thank you very much to the team for they amazing hospitality.FromUS$50

The hotel is showing its age, and it definitely needs some renovations. There were ongoing works on the floor where we stayed, which made the stay less comfortable. Service was not great either — staff seemed unaware of trip.com as a booking site, which caused some inconvenience during check-in. Overall, not the best experience, and I wouldn’t choose this hotel again unless improvements are made.FromUS$50

Although the hotel is located in Sharjah, it is very close to Dubai Airport. It costs 50 dirhams to take a taxi. It is very convenient to go to Dubai or other places from the hotel. The room is huge. There is a small supermarket at the door, where you can buy food and cook it yourself, saving money and delicious food. The waiters are very hospitable, but the breakfast variety is a bit limited, probably because many guests cook their own meals. Overall, it’s cost-effective and suitable for business trips or family trips.FromUS$42

My family and I recently enjoyed a heartwarming stay at Sahara Beach Resort & Spa for a much-needed staycation. From the moment we arrived, it was evident that this establishment values exceptional hospitality. Traveling with a toddler can be quite challenging, but the staff at [Hotel Name] went above and beyond to make our experience enjoyable. They were incredibly accommodating to our requests, making us feel like we were at home. Our 2-year-old son was welcomed with open arms, and the hotel thoughtfully provided us with child-friendly amenities that made our stay much more comfortable. Our room is very spacious and well-appointed and it was also meticulously clean – an aspect that's especially important to us during these times. Let's talk about the food – a pleasant surprise that truly delighted our taste buds. As a Filipino with a different palate, I didn't know what to expect from the hotel's cuisine. However, I was blown away by the diverse range of options on the menu and their exceptional taste. The flavors were thoughtfully crafted, and each dish was a masterpiece in itself. Indeed our stay was an absolute delight. The family-friendly atmosphere, exceptional service, and comfortable accommodations made our short staycation truly special. We left feeling relaxed and rejuvenated, grateful for the memories we created during our time there. We wholeheartedly recommend Sahara Beach Resort & Spa to anyone seeking a wonderful family getaway with such a peaceful ambiance.FromUS$37

This wasn't my first stay at this hotel and I continue to appreciate the excellent location, food, and service. The daily housekeeping kept my room very clean. The only minor issue was that the room was a bit dim due to the window facing a neighboring building. Perhaps brighter lighting within the room could enhance the ambiance. Overall, I would recommend this hotelFromUS$36
