This expansion includes new bus and marine routes, increased frequency, and free onward connections, to ensure convenient access to one of the region's largest cultural events.

Two shuttle buses will operate daily, from Dubai and Ajman; and will depart from Al Rashidiya Bus Station in Dubai and the City Centre Ajman parking area. Each will run three times daily over 12 hours; and departures from Dubai and Ajman to the Expo Centre are scheduled at 9:00 am, 1:00 pm and 5:00 pm.

Return trips from the Expo Centre Sharjah will run at 12:00 pm, 4:00 pm and 9:00 pm.

Visitors from Dubai can also use the FR5 marine transport service, which connects Al Ghubaiba Marine Station in Dubai to the Sharjah Aquarium Marine Station.

From there, free onward transport will be provided via traditional boats operating from Sharjah Aquarium and Al Qasba stations directly to the Expo Centre Sharjah station throughout the fair's opening hours.
