Sharjah to Dubai Bus: E303, E306 & E307 Routes, Stops and Timings

The buses from Sharjah to Dubai are run by Dubai's RTA. Most leave from Al Jubail Bus Station in Sharjah, call at Al Wahda Road, Al Safeer Mall and Ansar Mall on Ittihad Road, then cross into Dubai. You pay with a Nol card.

Every stop, first and last bus

Each route shows its Sharjah stops, its first and last bus and its fare where we have them. To find the bus for your part of Dubai, look it up in the area list under the routes.

Al Jubail Bus Station

Al Jubail is Sharjah's main bus station, on the Corniche next to Al Jubail Souq. The Dubai buses leave from here, and so do Sharjah's intercity buses to Abu Dhabi, Ajman, the northern emirates and Oman. Ask at the counter or follow the signs for the Dubai buses, as bay numbers can change.

Paying: the Nol card

RTA buses from Sharjah take a Nol card, not cash. Tap in when you board and tap out when you get off.

• Silver Nol card: the standard card for most riders.
• Gold Nol card: for Gold Class on the Metro and tram. You only need it if you ride Gold Class.
• Where to buy or top up: Metro stations, Nol machines and ticket offices, and the Nol Pay and RTA apps.

Buses run by Sharjah RTA (SRTA), such as some of the services from Al Rolla, use their own cards and tickets and don't take Nol. See the Sharjah bus guide and Sayer card guide.

Beat the traffic

The Sharjah to Dubai roads are slow in the morning rush, roughly 6:30 to 9:30 AM towards Dubai, and in the evening rush back to Sharjah. Allow extra time then, or travel mid-morning or late evening.
