🚌 Sharjah to Global Village: Bus Timings and The Public Transport Journey
For budget-conscious travelers heading from Sharjah to Global Village, the bus is a viable option, but it requires a transfer in Dubai. There is no single direct bus from any station in Sharjah to Global Village.
Here is your complete guide to the public transport route, including the necessary connection and estimated timings.
1. 🛑 The Route: Sharjah Bus + Dubai RTA Bus
To reach Global Village by bus from Sharjah, your journey will involve two main parts:
Sharjah to Dubai Hub: Take a Sharjah-Dubai intercity bus (e.g., E303, E306, E307, E307A) from a major terminal like Al Jubail Bus Station to a key transfer point in Dubai (e.g., Union Station, Al Ghubaiba Bus Station, or Centrepoint/Rashidiya Metro Station).
Dubai Hub to Global Village: Transfer to one of the seasonal Dubai RTA Bus Routes (102, 103, 104, 106) that run directly to Global Village.
2. ⏰ Dubai RTA Global Village Bus Timings
The dedicated RTA buses that go directly to Global Village operate only during the season (typically October/November to April/May).
| RTA Bus Route | Departure Station | Frequency (Approx.) | Typical Operating Hours |
| Route 102 | Centrepoint (Rashidiya) Bus Station | Every 30–60 minutes | Late Afternoon to Late Evening |
| Route 103 | Union Bus Station | Every 30–40 minutes | Late Afternoon to Late Evening |
| Route 104 | Al Ghubaiba Bus Station | Every 30–60 minutes | Late Afternoon to Late Evening |
| Route 106 | Mall of the Emirates Bus Station | Every 30–60 minutes | Late Afternoon to Late Evening |
Important Note: Global Village generally opens in the late afternoon (usually 4:00 PM). The seasonal buses (Routes 102, 103, 104, 106) usually start their service around 3:00 PM to 3:30 PM and run until 11:00 PM or later, depending on the Village’s closing time (often midnight or 1:00 AM on weekends). Always check the RTA’s official app (S’hail) for real-time, confirmed timings.
3. ⏱️ Total Estimated Journey Time
While cost-effective, the bus journey is significantly longer than a direct car lift:
Sharjah to Dubai Hub: 30–60 minutes (Heavily dependent on traffic, especially in the evening).
Waiting/Transfer Time: 15–30 minutes (Waiting for the connecting bus).
Dubai Hub to Global Village: 35–65 minutes (Depending on the route and traffic).
Total Trip Time Estimate: 1.5 to 2.5 hours (one-way, depending on traffic).
⚠️ Why Choose a Car Lift Over the Bus?
While the bus is budget-friendly, its drawbacks are clear, particularly for a fun evening out:
Time Commitment: The travel time is long and unpredictable due to transfers and traffic.
Transfer Required: You must handle at least one transfer in Dubai.
Late Night Return: Catching the last bus/metro from Global Village can be stressful, especially if you stay for the fireworks or late shows.
