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.

Travelex has operated in the UAE for 20 years and now runs 55 stores across the country, serving inbound and outbound travellers. -TradeArabia News Service
