Cheap Flights from Sharjah to Abu Dhabi — $136

Sharjah International (SHJ) functions mainly as a budget- and cargo-friendly gateway in the UAE, often handling low-cost carriers and regional airlines alongside some international connections. It is typically cheaper to fly into Sharjah than into nearby Dubai, which can make it a practical choice for cost-conscious travelers. The airport sits about 20–25 km from Sharjah’s city centre and roughly 25–40 km from parts of Dubai; road transfer times are usually 20–45 minutes depending on traffic. Taxis and ride-hail services are the most common options (fares can vary with distance and time of day), while buses link to the city and to Dubai at modest fares. Pros: often lower fares and less crowding than major hubs; cons: fewer long-haul routes and a bit farther from Dubai’s main attractions.

The cost of a one-way flight from Sharjah to Abu Dhabi ranges from $118 (February 2026) to $290 (April 2026). On average, the ticket price is about $193–$206.

Abu Dhabi International (AUH) is the emirate’s main international gateway and a mid-to-large hub typically serving full-service carriers like Etihad alongside regional and some low-cost airlines; it can be perceived as mid-range to premium for long-haul travel. The airport sits roughly 30–35 km east of downtown Abu Dhabi, with taxi transfers usually taking about 30–45 minutes and costing in the region of AED 60–100; airport buses and shared shuttles offer cheaper options that can take 45–65 minutes. Pros: modern terminals, extensive international connections and decent passenger facilities; cons: the distance to the city center and occasional peak-time queues can add transit time. Private heliport and smaller general aviation facilities can be used for business or charter services.
