Al Jubail Bus Station to Dubai

Al Jubail Bus Station is also Sharjah’s main departure point for Dubai-bound coaches. Several E-numbered lines run from the terminal throughout the day:

• E303 to Union Square Bus Station
• E303A to Sabkha Bus Station
• E304 to Satwa Bus Station
• E306 to Al Ghubaiba Bus Station
• E307 to Deira City Centre Bus Station
• E307A to Abu Hail Metro Bus Stop
• E308 to Dubai Stadium Bus Station

On journey-planning apps, the terminal is sometimes split into Sharjah Al Jubail Bus Station 1 and Sharjah Al Jubail Bus Station 2, referring to different boarding points around the Al Jubail terminal area. Different Dubai-bound routes use different stops, so check the route number and boarding point on the departure board or your ticket before travelling. These E-numbered routes are run by Dubai’s RTA rather than SRTA, and RTA’s intercity services take a Nol card.

Ticket prices and how to pay at Al Jubail Bus Station

The SRTA-operated routes from Al Jubail Bus Station, Route 99 to Sharjah Airport, Route 117 to Abu Dhabi and Route 115 to Ras Al Khaimah, can be paid for in cash, but a Sayer card works out cheaper and saves queuing at the counter each time. SRTA issues three types of Sayer card:

Topping up a Sayer card follows fixed tiers: paying AED 50 credits the card with AED 45, paying AED 95 credits AED 90, and paying AED 185 credits AED 180.

The Dubai-bound E-numbered routes are a separate system: they’re run by Dubai’s RTA, not SRTA, and take a Nol card only, so a Sayer card and cash won’t work on those services.
