Cycling day trip from Sharjah city to Dubai

Kick off your ride in the heart of Sharjah, a city known for its vibrant arts scene and rich cultural heritage! You'll set out heading southwest toward the dynamic skyscrapers of Dubai, cruising along a mostly paved route with plenty of stretches on quiet roads and dedicated cycleways. With a distance just over 71 km, expect a few gentle ups and downs, but nothing too thigh-burning—the max elevation stays below 25 meters.

As you pedal, you’ll get a unique perspective on how these two Emirates blend and contrast, from Sharjah’s traditional markets and museums to Dubai’s ultramodern skyline. The route keeps you away from the busiest traffic for most of the way, with some portions on access roads and the occasional stretch where you'll share the road with more cars. With 27% of the route’s surface details missing, be ready for surprises, but rest assured—no gravel or unpaved detours here!

End your journey in Dubai, the city of superlatives, where you can celebrate with a selfie in front of the Burj Khalifa or unwind in one of the city’s chic cafes. Happy riding!
