Samarkand International Airport (SKD) serves as Uzbekistan’s main gateway to the historic city, functioning as a regional international hub rather than a large global transfer point. It typically handles national carriers and a mix of regional and some low-cost airlines, so fares can be competitive for nearby international and domestic routes. The airport lies about 6–8 km east of Samarkand’s historic center; taxis generally take 15–25 minutes and can cost roughly a few dollars in local currency, while shared minibuses may be slower but cheaper. Pros: convenient proximity to the old town and straightforward facilities for short stays. Cons: limited long-haul connections and fewer premium amenities compared with major global hubs.

Sharjah International Airport (SHJ) typically serves as a budget- and regional-focused gateway for the northern UAE, complementing nearby Dubai hubs by attracting low-cost carriers and regional airlines. It can be a cost-conscious choice for leisure and short-haul travelers, though fares vary with season and carrier. The airport sits about 15–20 km from Sharjah city centre and roughly 25–30 km from central Dubai; taxis usually take 20–35 minutes to Sharjah (AED 25–60) and 30–50 minutes to Dubai (AED 60–120), while shared buses and airport shuttles can be cheaper but slower. Pros: often lower fares and less congestion than Dubai; cons: fewer long-haul connections and more limited premium services.
