Dubai-Based Movers Serving Sharjah
1stMove is based in Dubai and regularly moves households, villas, and businesses between Dubai and Sharjah — one of the closest inter-emirate corridors we run, but also one of the most congested at the border. We're not a local Sharjah branch; we're a Dubai moving company that knows this specific crossing well and plans every Sharjah move around it.
We handle the full range of moves in both directions: studio and apartment relocations, villa moves, office and corporate relocations, single-item and furniture-only moves, and short-term storage if your new place isn't ready the same day you're moving out.
This builds directly on what our Office & Corporate Relocation and International Relocation teams already do — both already coordinate inter-emirate moves to Sharjah as part of their service, including IT equipment and server relocation for businesses with a presence in both emirates. Booking directly through this page gets you the same team with an itinerary planned specifically around the Dubai-Sharjah crossing.
Every Sharjah move starts with an assessment of what's moving and what your specific building or community requires for access, so nothing gets held up at either end on move day.

Moving to Sharjah: What to Know
Sharjah is a genuinely different place to live than Dubai, not just a cheaper suburb of it.
Sharjah has a population of around 1.8 million, with expats making up roughly 88% of that — one of the highest expat shares of any emirate, with Indian nationals forming the largest single community. Unlike Dubai, Sharjah is a dry emirate: alcohol isn't sold or served publicly anywhere in the emirate, which is worth knowing before you commit to a neighborhood or a lease.
The other defining fact for most people relocating here is cost. Sharjah is consistently one of the most affordable places to live in the UAE — a big part of why so many people who work in Dubai choose to live in Sharjah instead and commute. Comparable one- and two-bedroom apartments typically rent for well under Dubai prices, and everyday costs (food, schooling, services) run noticeably lower too.
That affordability is also the trade-off most people weigh going in: you get meaningfully lower housing costs and a calmer, more residential pace, in exchange for a daily commute across a border crossing that gets genuinely congested at peak times. For a lot of families and professionals, that trade is worth it — but it's worth planning your move (and your daily schedule) around it rather than being surprised by it.
Getting Between Dubai and Sharjah
This is one of the shortest inter-emirate routes we run, but also one of the most congested — here's what actually matters.
Dubai and Sharjah are close — many communities are only 20-30km apart — connected primarily via Al Ittihad Road (E11) and Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311). The catch is the border itself: the Al Nahda crossing on E11 is a well-known, consistently congested chokepoint, and it regularly adds 30-45 minutes each way. On a bad day, a trip that should take under an hour can stretch well past two. We plan departures specifically around this crossing rather than assuming short distance means a short move.
Sharjah's tenancy system also works differently from Dubai's. Rental relationships are governed by Sharjah Law No. 5 of 2024, and every tenancy contract must be registered with Sharjah Municipality within 15 days of signing. Rent can't be increased during the first three years of a tenancy, and subletting isn't permitted. When you're moving out, you'll typically need a landlord NOC and a visit to the Sharjah Tasheel office with your attested lease, Emirates ID, and a SEWA (Sharjah Electricity, Water & Gas Authority) bill to close out the tenancy properly — a genuinely different process from Dubai's Ejari system.
We factor the border-crossing timing and tenancy paperwork into scheduling from the first conversation, so your moving date isn't set around a guess.
For corporate relocations, this same coordination extends to Sharjah's commercial and industrial areas — server rooms and office equipment get the same anti-static wrapping and careful transport used on our Dubai office moves, adapted to your specific building's access rules.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about moving between Dubai and Sharjah.
Movers in Sharjah
Do you move between Dubai and Sharjah regularly?
Yes — inter-emirate relocation to Sharjah is a regular part of our business, handled by the same teams that manage our Office & Corporate Relocation and International Relocation services.
How far is Sharjah from Dubai?
Many communities are only 20-30km apart, connected mainly via Al Ittihad Road (E11) and Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311). The distance is short — the border crossing is the part that takes planning.
Why does the Dubai-Sharjah border take so long to cross?
The Al Nahda crossing on E11 is a well-documented, consistently congested chokepoint. It typically adds 30-45 minutes each way, and on bad days a normally-quick trip can stretch past two hours. We schedule departures around this specifically.
Is Sharjah a dry emirate?
Yes — alcohol isn't sold or served publicly anywhere in Sharjah. It's a genuinely different lifestyle consideration from Dubai and worth knowing before choosing a neighborhood.
Is Sharjah cheaper to live in than Dubai?
Yes, noticeably — Sharjah is consistently one of the most affordable emirates to live in, which is a major reason many professionals who work in Dubai choose to live in Sharjah instead and commute. Rent and everyday costs both typically run well below Dubai prices.
What's the process for cancelling a Sharjah tenancy contract?
You'll typically need a landlord NOC, then a visit to the Sharjah Tasheel office with your attested lease, Emirates ID, and a SEWA bill. This is different from Dubai's Ejari-based process — we can walk you through what your specific tenancy requires.
Do I need to register my tenancy contract in Sharjah?
Yes — Sharjah tenancy contracts must be registered with Sharjah Municipality within 15 days of signing, under Sharjah Law No. 5 of 2024. Rent also can't be increased during the first three years of a tenancy.
What times of day should I avoid for a move to Sharjah?
The Al Nahda border crossing sees the heaviest congestion during standard weekday rush-hour windows. We generally schedule around these unless your building's access hours require otherwise.
Do you handle villa moves to Sharjah?
Yes — full villa and multi-bedroom home relocations, including furniture disassembly and reassembly at the destination.
Do you handle office and corporate relocations to Sharjah?
Yes — office moves, IT equipment relocation, and multi-staff employee relocations, coordinated with your facilities or HR team.
Can you move office IT equipment and servers to Sharjah?
Yes — the same anti-static wrapping and careful handling used on our Dubai office moves, adapted to your Sharjah building's access requirements.
Do you offer storage if my Sharjah home isn't ready yet?
Yes — our Dubai storage facilities can hold your belongings short-term if there's a gap between move-out and your Sharjah move-in date.
What areas of Sharjah do you cover?
We deliver to and collect from Al Majaz, Al Nahda, Al Khan, Al Taawun, Al Qasimia, Muweilah, University City, Al Mamzar, Al Suyoh, Tilal City, Aljada, and Al Rahmaniya.
Do you handle corporate or business relocations to Sharjah?
Yes — we regularly coordinate office relocations, server room moves, and multi-staff employee relocations to Sharjah, invoiced to the business with a dedicated coordinator for larger accounts.
How much does a move to Sharjah cost?
Inter-emirate moves typically cost somewhat more than an equivalent move within Dubai, mainly due to border-crossing timing and coordination at both ends — the exact price depends on move size and your specific tenancy requirements. Book a free assessment for an exact, no-obligation quote.
Do you provide packing materials for a Dubai-Sharjah move?
Yes — professional packing materials and services are available for household and office moves along this route.
How far in advance should I book a move to Sharjah?
We recommend at least 1-2 weeks, which gives enough time to handle any landlord NOC and Sharjah Tasheel steps before your moving date.
