Cheap Flights from Sharjah to Edinburgh Starting at $183

Edinburgh Airport (EDI) is Scotland’s main international gateway and typically serves a mix of full-service carriers and low-cost airlines, making it a convenient choice for both business and leisure travellers. It sits about 8 miles (13 km) west of the city centre; typical travel times are around 25–35 minutes by tram or 30–40 minutes by bus, with fares often ranging from modest single fares to reasonable day-ticket prices. Taxis and ride-hailing are quicker but can be noticeably pricier, especially at peak times. Pros: frequent international links, modern terminal facilities and a direct tram link to the centre. Cons: can be busy during holidays and peak times, and transfer costs are higher than for very central urban airports.

Sharjah International Airport (SHJ) is typically positioned as a cost-conscious, secondary gateway for the UAE, attracting a mix of budget carriers, regional airlines and some full-service operators serving the Middle East, South Asia and North Africa. It sits about 15–20 km northeast of Sharjah city centre and can be reached by taxi in roughly 20–30 minutes depending on traffic; fares are commonly moderate for the region. Public buses and shared shuttle services also connect to central Sharjah and neighbouring emirates with journey times usually from 30–60 minutes. Pros: often cheaper fares and less congestion than Dubai’s airports, with convenient options for low-cost travel. Cons: fewer long-haul routes and amenities than major international hubs, and connections to Dubai require extra transit time or transfers.
