Timing the drive between Dubai and Sharjah
Commuter traffic between the two cities is heavy in the morning toward Dubai and in the evening toward Sharjah, and waiting at the crossings is one of the things that moves a price. Inside Dubai, the RTA closes Airport Street, Oman Street and Damascus Street to trucks from 6:30 to 8:30 am, 1 to 3 pm and 5:30 to 8 pm, and Sheikh Zayed Road from 6 am to 10 pm, from 1 October 2026. Emirates Road is exempt.
Ask your mover which route and departure time it plans, and book your lift slots at both ends to fit.
Paperwork on both sides of the border
In Dubai: the building's move-out permit, Ejari cancellation (free through the Dubai Land Department) and DEWA move-out, which produces a final bill within 24 working hours. The move-out checklist keeps it in order.
In Sharjah: get the tenancy contract attested first. SEWA, which supplies electricity, water and, in Sharjah city, piped gas, asks tenants to complete the attestation before applying for a SEWA move-in. Ask the Sharjah building for its move-in rules and lift booking.
Small moves and part loads
If you are moving a studio or a 1-bedroom flat, compare a full-service quote with a smaller van; man with van versus full service explains the difference, and studio movers covers what a small move includes.
