Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) is set to resume operations of the marine transportation line via Dubai Ferry between Dubai and Sharjah, starting from August 4. The service had been suspended since the 2020 pandemic.

The marine transport service will run eight daily trips from Monday until Thursday (weekdays), and 6 trips from Friday until Sunday (weekends).

This marine service, the first of its kind connecting Dubai with other emirates, shuttles between Al Ghubaiba Marine Station in Dubai and Aquarium Marine Station in Sharjah, in collaboration with the Roads and Transport Authority in Sharjah.

The introduction of the Dubai Ferry service is part of the cooperative efforts between Dubai and Sharjah to offer additional mobility choices between the two emirates, ease traffic intensity, and use safe maritime transport given the extended coastal area of the two emirates.

The journey between Al Ghubaiba Station and the Sharjah Aquarium Station takes about 35 minutes. On weekdays, two ferries will depart from Sharjah at 7am and 8.30am along with one morning journey from Dubai at 7.45am.
