How to get from Sharjah to Almaty: your options

The simplest way is the Air Arabia non-stop from Sharjah Airport: about 4 hours 30 minutes in the air, with up to one departure every day.

If Air Arabia has nothing on your date, consider neighbouring Dubai: the airport is roughly a 30 to 40 minute drive from Sharjah, and flydubai and Air Astana fly from there to Almaty. Search may also suggest connecting itineraries through other regional hubs.

The non-stop from Sharjah almost always wins on time and spares you a wait in transit, while departing from Dubai or taking a connection widens your choice of dates and departure times. If your connection is outside your country of departure, check in advance whether you need a transit visa.
