Prague travelers now have another direct link to the Middle East.

Low-cost carrier Air Arabia has resumed service at Václav Havel Prague Airport after nearly six years, officially launching daily flights to Sharjah this past Saturday.

The route is set to operate seven times a week, marking Prague Airport’s eighth carrier connecting the city with the Middle East.

The addition of Sharjah to Prague’s flight network not only increases options for travel to the UAE but also opens convenient connections to other popular destinations. “Passengers will have more opportunities to reach destinations in East Africa, India, Sri Lanka, the Maldives, Thailand, or Kuala Lumpur,” said Jiří Pos, Chairman of the Board at Prague Airport.

Air Arabia’s flights between Prague and Sharjah are scheduled daily.

Evening departures from Prague are available at 9:35 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. On the remaining days—Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays—flights depart early at 12:40 p.m.

The carrier operates the route using an Airbus A320neo with a seating capacity of 174 passengers. Air Arabia previously served this route from December 2018 until March 2020 with a frequency of five flights per week.

Sharjah, the third-largest city in the United Arab Emirates and the capital of its namesake emirate, is known as the country’s “cultural pearl” due to its rich heritage.

Visitors can explore landmarks such as the Al Noor Mosque and Al Hisn Fort, the historic seat of the ruling Al Qasimi dynasty.

The emirate also offers an extensive selection of museums, including the Calligraphy Museum and the Museum of Islamic Civilizations. For a more immersive experience, visitors can wander through the Central Market, which hosts over 600 small shops and provides an authentic Arab shopping and bargaining experience.
