Traveling can be very hectic when you don’t have a car. If
you are staying in Sharjah and looking for a convenient way to reach Dubai,

You may travel from the Al Jubail Station in Sharjah and
take RTA buses to Dubai. Below are the route details;
E303 - Union MS
E303A - Al Sabkha
E304 - Al Satwa
E306 - Al Ghubaiba
E307- Deira City Center
E307A- Abu Hail
The fastest route would be going to Abu Hail, here you will
encounter less traffic since it is the nearest place to Sharjah. You may then
take a metro in Abu hail and go to your destination. Note that RTA buses going
to Dubai only pick passengers from the terminal only. You need to have a nol card in order to ride RTA
bus, and make sure you have at minimum 7.50 AED balance(for silver card holder).
Nol card is essential in using public transport in Dubai
Via Rolla Bus Station

If Dubai has RTA, Shajah has KGL (Mowasalat). The terminal can
be found in Rolla. Here you may take bus no. 8 going to Sahara. This bus also
picks passengers along Kaled Al Qasimi St., Al Wahda St., and Al Nahda. The bus
will then take you at the back of Sahara Mall. You then have to cross the Sharjah-Dubai
border, and voila! RTA buses will be waiting to take you on destinations as
follows;
Sahara back side
F22 – Al Qusais Industrial Area Terminus
22 – Deira Terminal (near Deira City Center Metro
Station)
F23 – Stadium metro station
Other KGL buses that will take you to Dubai are;
308 – From Rolla Bus Station to Al Quoz and Jebel Ali
113 – From Rolla Bus Station
to Al Qusais Rashidiya
111 – From Sharjah Airport to Rashidiya Metro Station
You can pay cash directly to the driver or used a Sayer card to board KGL buses.
Via Taxi
And of course! Who will forget taxis? This is the most
convenient yet most expensive. Flat down
rate is 3 AED, and additional 20.00 AED on top of the bill for Dubai
travel, 4.00 AED Salik fee will also be
added every time you pass through a toll gate.
