Sharjah to Fujairah Bus: Timings & Fare

Sharjah to Fujairah bus is SRTA route 116 — the classic east coast run from Al Jubail Bus Station in Sharjah, through Al Dhaid and Masafi, to Fujairah city and on to Khorfakkan. If you are looking up the sharjah to fujairah bus timing, the service is built for day-trippers and commuters alike: first bus 5:30 AM, last bus 11:00 PM, departures through the day, and a one-way fare of AED 30. A second SRTA service, route 611, also links Al Jubail with Fujairah city stops.

This guide covers both routes, the timetable, which Fujairah stop to choose (Fujairah city and Khorfakkan are very different destinations), fares and payment, and the step-by-step journey.

Sharjah to Fujairah Bus Timings: Routes 116 and 611

East coast buses leave Al Jubail Bus Station from 5:30 AM until 11:00 PM, every day. Route 116 is the main service, with around 35 departures a day — roughly one every 30 minutes. Route 611 supplements it with hourly departures aimed at Fujairah city stops such as Etisalat and Choithrams.

Route	First bus (Al Jubail)	Last bus (Al Jubail)	Frequency	Goes to
116	5:30 AM	11:00 PM	Every ~30 minutes	Fujairah city, Kalba, Khorfakkan
611	5:30 AM	9:45 PM	Hourly	Fujairah city stops (Etisalat, Choithrams)

A fare note: SRTA’s own intercity enquiry currently shows AED 30 for both the 116 and 611 to Fujairah stops. Several older guides still quote AED 27 — that was the previous fare. Budget AED 30 and you will not be caught short.

Return buses from Khorfakkan and Fujairah city follow the same daily pattern, with the first 116 leaving the east coast at 5:30 AM and the last at 11:00 PM, arriving at Al Jubail around two hours later.

Fujairah City or Khorfakkan? Choosing Your Stop

This is the decision most first-time riders get wrong. Route 116 does not end in Fujairah city — it continues along the coast:

• Fujairah city stops (including Al Abeer Market and the Etisalat stop) — for Fujairah city itself, the fort, the museum and the corniche. Journey time from Sharjah is about 2 to 2.5 hours. The 611 also serves these stops.
• Kalba — for the mangrove reserve and Kalba beach, further down the coast.
• Khorfakkan Bus Station / Al Zubara — the 116 terminus, for Khorfakkan beach, the amphitheatre and Al Rafisah Dam side. Add roughly another hour beyond Fujairah city; SRTA schedules the full run at up to 2 hours 55 minutes.

Tell the driver or check the destination board before boarding so you ride the right departure — and if you are heading to Fujairah city only, the 611’s stop list may drop you closer to your destination.

Route and Main Stops

From Al Jubail Bus Station the 116 heads east out of Sharjah, passing:

• Al Dhaid — the oasis town at the crossroads of the northern emirates
• Masafi — the mountain village famous for its Friday market and bottled water
• Fujairah city — Al Abeer Market and city stops (the 611 serves Etisalat and Choithrams stops)
• Kalba — coastal stop for the mangroves
• Khorfakkan Bus Station (Al Zubara) — the terminus

The middle section through the Hajar mountains is the most scenic bus ride in the UAE — sit on the right-hand side heading east for the best of the Masafi pass views.

Sharjah Airport: travellers asking about a sharjah airport to fujairah bus should note there is no separate airport service — make your way to Al Jubail Bus Station (a short taxi ride from the airport) and board the 116 or 611 there.

Sharjah to Fujairah Bus Fare and Payment

The one-way fare from Sharjah to Fujairah is AED 30 on SRTA’s current intercity tariff, the same for Fujairah city and the Khorfakkan terminus. Shorter hops (for example, getting down at Al Dhaid or Masafi) cost less. Pay with a Sayer card or in cash. Nol and Hafilat cards are not accepted on SRTA buses.

Compare that with a taxi from Sharjah to Fujairah at AED 250 or more, and the 116 is one of the best-value journeys in the country.

Step by Step: How to Take the Bus

1. Decide your Fujairah stop — city, Kalba or Khorfakkan — before you leave; it changes which departure and journey time you plan for.
2. Reach Al Jubail Bus Station in Sharjah and look for the east coast (116 / 611) bays.
3. Buy your ticket — AED 30 by Sayer card or cash. Keep it with you for the whole ride.
4. Board and settle in — 2 to 3 hours depending on your stop, with the mountain section in the middle.
5. Get down at your stop — Fujairah city stops are announced; for Khorfakkan, ride to the terminus.

Planning an East Coast Day Trip by Bus

The 116 makes a genuine car-free east coast day possible. A workable plan: leave Al Jubail on a 7:30–8:30 AM departure, ride through Al Dhaid and the Masafi mountains, and be in Fujairah city by late morning for the fort, the museum and a corniche lunch. Beach time works better in Khorfakkan — stay on the 116 to the terminus, where the beach, the amphitheatre and the waterfall are the headline sights — but that adds roughly an hour each way, so leave Sharjah before 8:00 AM and aim for a return bus no later than early evening, keeping the 11:00 PM last departure as a safety net rather than a plan.

Two practical notes. First, Friday is the busiest day on the east coast: the Masafi market traffic and Fujairah-bound families fill the morning buses, so board at Al Jubail terminus rather than hoping for seats en route. Second, the mountain section can be slow in rare heavy rain — if Fujairah weather warnings are in the news, check srta.gov.ae before setting out, as east coast services are occasionally suspended in flash-flood conditions.

Rules and Travel Tips

• Coming from Dubai? There is a direct E700 from Dubai to Fujairah as well — compare both options in our Dubai to Sharjah bus guide hub and the Fujairah guides, and pick the departure city that suits you.
• Friday market at Masafi: the 116 passes Masafi, but it is an intercity coach — if the market is your destination, confirm the Masafi stop with SRTA before relying on it.
• Beach day timing: for Khorfakkan, take a bus before 8:00 AM; the last return from the terminus is 11:00 PM, but you will want the earlier evening departures to connect onward in Sharjah.
• Luggage: standard intercity allowance (one large bag + hand luggage). Beach gear and coolers are fine if they fit the hold.
• Ramadan and holidays: the daily pattern holds, but late-evening frequencies can be trimmed — verify on srta.gov.ae.
