How to get from Shymkent to Sharjah: travel options

There are no nonstop flights from Shymkent to Sharjah, so the itinerary consists of two legs.

The most convenient option is a connection in Almaty with an Air Arabia flight to Sharjah. There is a second scenario too: from September flydubai launches nonstop flights from Shymkent to Dubai, and from there Sharjah is a 30–40 minute drive — which can be faster when no suitable connection is available on your date.

Flying via Almaty is convenient thanks to a single booking and baggage checked through to Sharjah, while arriving in Dubai is worth comparing on price once the transfer is included. Weigh both scenarios by cost and total travel time.

If your connection is in a third country, check in advance whether you need a transit visa.
