Jebel Ali to Sharjah Bus: Route 308 Timings, Stops & Fare (2026)
SRTA’s published 308 enquiry lists Jebel Ali Parco Supermarket / Dubai → Rolla Terminal at AED 15, with departures from 07:20 to 23:15. From IBN Batutta Metro Station Stop 1, the same return-direction line 308 R is listed from 07:40 to 23:35 at AED 15. Choose your actual boarding stop; the Parco departure is not the time the bus reaches Ibn Battuta.
In the opposite direction, Rolla → Jebel Ali Parco returns 308 G at AED 20, from 05:30 to 23:00. These selected-stop results were checked on 14 October 2026.

Jebel Ali and Ibn Battuta departures
The daytime patterns below describe the full returned list; the evening departures are written out because their intervals vary. All times use the 24-hour clock.
| Boarding point | Daytime departures | Later departures |
|---|---|---|
| Jebel Ali Parco Supermarket | 07:20, 07:50, then every 30 minutes through 18:20, at :20 and :50 each hour | 18:55, 19:25, 20:00, 20:35, 21:10, 21:45, 22:15, 22:45, 23:15 |
| Ibn Battuta Metro Station Stop 1 | 07:40, then every 30 minutes through 18:40, at :10 and :40 each hour after the first trip | 19:15, 19:45, 20:20, 20:55, 21:30, 22:05, 22:35, 23:05, 23:35 |
For example, the first Parco trip is scheduled 07:20 → 08:55 at Rolla; the Ibn Battuta entry is 07:40 → 08:55. Both final selected trips are scheduled to reach Rolla at 00:50 the next day. Plan onward transport at that late arrival time.
Rolla to Jebel Ali: 308 G departures
For Rolla Terminal → Jebel Ali Parco Supermarket, the enquiry lists 05:30, then every 30 minutes through 16:30, at :00 and :30 each hour after the first departure. The later entries are:
17:05, 17:40, 18:10, 18:40, 19:10, 19:45, 20:20, 20:55, 21:30, 22:00, 22:30 and 23:00.
The first trip is scheduled to arrive at Parco at 07:15, and the final one at 00:45 the next day. The published list therefore does not support the old claim that the final Rolla departure is at 20:00.
Confirm the origin and stop sequence
- Open the SRTA Intercity Bus Schedule.
- Select the exact From stop: Jebel Ali Parco Supermarket / Dubai, IBN Batutta Metro Station Stop 1, or Rolla Terminal / Sharjah.
- Select the actual destination and read its returned line, fare and timetable.
- Confirm the boarding bay or roadside stop location and the direction on the bus display.
Do not treat Jebel Ali Parco, a generic Jebel Ali Bus Station label and Ibn Battuta as the same origin. If you are coming from a workplace inside JAFZA, confirm the journey to the public boarding point separately.
SRTA’s 27 September 2020 corridor announcement described 308 between Rolla and Jebel Ali through Jubail and Ibn Battuta. The current enquiry also returns 308 R for Parco → Jubail. Neither source establishes the old article’s fourteen-stop order or that Ibn Battuta is always the third stop.
Fare and ticket preparation
The selected Dubai-to-Rolla journeys show AED 15; Rolla-to-Parco shows AED 20. An out-and-back purchase of the two terminal journeys would total AED 35 at the published fares. Query an intermediate pair separately rather than assuming every trip costs AED 15.
The timetable does not publish a route-specific accepted-card list. SRTA’s Sayer guidance describes Sharjah city travel and does not verify intercity use on 308. Carry suitable cash and confirm payment before boarding rather than depending on Nol or Sayer alone. A Metro journey to Ibn Battuta is a separate ticket transaction.
Allow for connections and service changes
Arrive before the selected departure and leave a buffer for traffic. Confirm holiday or disrupted service with SRTA, particularly if you are depending on the final bus. The published enquiry is a schedule, not a live vehicle tracker.
Ask about luggage, accessibility or a specific passenger need for the assigned vehicle. Keep your ticket, and make sure you have a practical way to get from Rolla or Parco to your final destination.
From another part of Dubai, compare E303 from Union or E306 from Al Ghubaiba, with their own operator and payment rules. SRTA publishes 600 525252 for enquiries.
