Your taxi from the airport to Sharjah Hilton will be about 70AED due to the 20AED Sharjah surcharge.

Coming back, I'd expect a fare in the region of 170 AED from Sharjah Hilton to the Waldorf.

Also, don't forget Sharjah is a totally dry Emirate. A bottle of duty free in your bag would likely go unnoticed, BUT is nonetheless illegal if you were caught.
