Car Rental in Sharjah Mini Guide

Sharjah is the third largest of the seven emirates in the UAE. It is unique in that is has seacoasts to both the west and east. 
 

Driving in Sharjah,  is generally straightforward, with well-maintained roads and clear road signage. Here's what you need to know about driving in Sharjah:

Road Conditions: The road infrastructure in Sharjah is modern and well-maintained, with wide highways and good-quality roads. You'll find that major roads are in excellent condition, making for a smooth driving experience.

Road Signs: Road signs in Sharjah are typically bilingual, featuring both Arabic and English, which makes navigation easier for English-speaking visitors.

Traffic: Traffic conditions in Sharjah can vary depending on the time of day and location. While some areas may experience congestion during peak hours, it is generally not as busy as neighboring Dubai. Traffic flow is orderly, and drivers tend to follow traffic rules.

Nearest Airports: The nearest airport to Sharjah is Sharjah International Airport (SHJ), which serves domestic and international flights. Dubai International Airport (DXB) is also nearby and offers a wider range of international flights. Both airports are well-connected to Sharjah by road, and the drive from these airports to Sharjah is relatively short and straightforward.

Neighboring Towns: Sharjah is adjacent to Dubai, which is one of the UAE's largest cities and a popular tourist destination. The drive from Sharjah to Dubai is convenient and takes around 20-30 minutes, depending on your exact location and traffic conditions. Other neighboring emirates, such as Ajman and Umm Al-Quwain, are also easily accessible by car.

Best Type of Vehicle: The best type of vehicle to drive in Sharjah largely depends on your preferences and needs. For city driving and short trips within Sharjah, a standard sedan or compact car is sufficient. If you plan to explore the UAE's desert landscapes or travel with a larger group, consider renting an SUV or a larger vehicle with four-wheel drive capabilities. Keep in mind that rental cars in Sharjah are readily available, and you can choose the vehicle that suits your requirements.

Overall, driving in Sharjah is a viable and convenient option for getting around the emirate and exploring nearby cities and attractions in the UAE. Road signage in English, well-maintained roads, and courteous drivers contribute to a relatively hassle-free driving experience.

If you are hiring a car in the UAE for the first time, we recommend reading our Drive Smart UAE guide to ensure you know the rules of the road and can drive safely in and around Sharjah.
