Travelex has launched three new stores at Sharjah Airport (SHJ), reflecting confidence in the long-term strength of both inbound and outbound tourism to and from the UAE.
The new stores, located across departure locations, will serve both departing and transit passengers, offering access to travel money in more than 60 currencies, which can be purchased on the day of travel or collected after pre-ordering on the Travelex website. Returning tourists can also receive VAT refunds in cash, providing added convenience before they continue their journey.
The stores have also been designed with passenger inclusion in mind, with priority systems for customers with disabilities and a wide range of language options to support international passengers.
The new locations further strengthen Travelexโs presence at Sharjah Airport, where Travelex has operated since 2007 and now operates a total of four stores. Sharjah reported a 38% increase in tourism in 2025.
