Foreign exchange provider Travelex has opened three new stores at Sharjah International Airport, expanding its presence to four outlets as passenger and tourism demand grows.
Located across the
airport's departure areas, the new stores will serve departing and transit
passengers, offering travel money in more than 60 currencies, available for
same-day purchase or pre-order collection.
The outlets will also
provide cash VAT refunds for returning tourists and feature accessibility
measures, including priority services for passengers with disabilities and
multilingual support.
Travelex has operated
at Sharjah International Airport since 2007. The expansion follows a 38%
increase in tourism in Sharjah in 2025.
“As the UAE continues
to thrive as a leading transit hub and tourist destination, we’re delighted to
be expanding our estate at Sharjah International Airport, meeting increasing
passenger demand and ensuring travellers have convenient access to travel money,”
said Batu Dölay, Managing Director, Travelex Middle East & Southeast Asia.
“Our three new stores
have been designed with inclusive customer experience and reinforce our
commitment to delivering a convenient, accessible and seamless experience.
Travelex now operates four stores at Sharjah International Airport, further
strengthening its presence and ability to serve passengers across the airport,”
he added.
