Sharjah International Airport is the airport of the United Arab Emirates that accepts low cost flights. Earlier in 1932, it was located in the very center of the city, but in 1977 it was moved beyond its borders. But in the center of Sharjah, you can still see the old airport building, which has become a museum. The airport is equidistant from the city of the same name, Ajman and Dubai, which opens up opportunities for interesting travel by rental car.

The airport consists of one terminal, which was rebuilt several times to meet modern comfort requirements. Every year, 12 million tourists arrive in the Arab world through this air gate. The airport has duty-free shops, cafes, ATMs, rental car desks, a medical center and a mosque. A long wait can be spent at a local hotel. There is also a paid VIP service area with lounges and accelerated control. However, passengers should remember that the prohibition law in force in the country also applies to the airport area, so the sale of alcohol is prohibited.

The nearest cities can be reached from the airport by bus and express. Some tourists prefer to take a taxi. However, if you want to visit as many attractions as possible, it is best to rent a car at one of the rental desks at the airport. Sharjah is the most conservative emirate recognized by UNESCO as the capital of Arab culture. A rental car will allow you to see both less conservative states and the amazing Desert Park with rare species of animals, located 28 km from the airport.
