Want to discover more of the UAE without straying too far? Driving from Dubai to Sharjah is an ideal getaway between two cities, which takes only 30 to 45 minutes by car, depending on traffic.
Dubai and Sharjah are roughly 25 to 30 kilometers apart and are neighboring emirates, each with a distinct vibe. While Dubai dazzles with luxury, nightlife, and futuristic flair, the Sharjah region is known as the Cultural Capital of the UAE with its plethora of heritage sites. It has a wealth of museums alongside a slower pace of life.
The short distance makes it convenient even when commuting for work or visiting Blue Souk Sharjah or the Sharjah Art Museum for a day trip. Just make sure to plan—and be cautious of the traffic on Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311) and Emirates Road (E611).
Pro Tip: For a smoother ride, travel during non-peak hours (early morning or midday).
