Shipping Company from Dubai to Saudi Arabia | Apartment & Villa Moving and Car Shipping to Riyadh and Jeddah

With Al Saif International Shipping, we collect from your apartment, villa or warehouse in Dubai — Al Barsha, Deira, Jumeirah, Al Qusais, Dubai Marina or JLT — and arrange the move-out permit and service-lift booking with your building management. The shipment then goes by road through Ghuwaifat to Al Batha, reaching Riyadh, Dammam, Khobar and Al Ahsa in 2–4 days and Jeddah, Makkah and Madinah in 4–6 days. Prices start from SAR 65 per parcel, SAR 2,300 for a 2–3 bedroom apartment and SAR 1,100 for a sedan. Call or WhatsApp: 0555915287.

🏙️ From a Dubai tower to your Saudi door

  • Before loading: move-out permit from building management and a service-lift booking.
  • By road: 2–4 days to Riyadh and the Eastern Province, 3–5 days to Qassim, 4–6 days to Jeddah, Makkah and Madinah, 5–7 days to Tabuk and Abha.
  • By air: 1–2 days to Riyadh, Jeddah or Dammam.
  • Starts from: SAR 65 per parcel, SAR 880 per room, SAR 2,300 per apartment, SAR 1,100 per car, SAR 750 per pallet.

Shipping from Dubai to Saudi Arabia: route and time

The truck leaves Dubai heading west on the coastal highway, passes Abu Dhabi and continues to the Ghuwaifat crossing at the far west of the UAE. Exit formalities are completed there, then it crosses to the Saudi Al Batha crossing for customs clearance, and on to Riyadh, the Eastern Province or the rest of the Kingdom. This is the only land route between the two countries, so every furniture and car truck from Dubai takes it.

Dubai is the baseline we use for the other emirates: Abu Dhabi is about half a day closer, Sharjah and beyond about half a day to a day further. The time covers pickup, packing, loading, both border crossings and delivery to your door.

Times from Dubai to Saudi cities

Saudi city By road, door to door By air
Riyadh 2–4 days 1–2 days
Dammam, Khobar, Al Ahsa 2–4 days 1–2 days via Dammam airport
Qassim 3–5 days via Riyadh airport
Jeddah, Makkah, Madinah 4–6 days 1–2 days via Jeddah airport
Tabuk, Abha, Khamis Mushait 5–7 days via Jeddah or Riyadh airport

We also deliver to Taif, Hail, Jubail, Jazan, Najran and other cities, with the time confirmed in your quote.

Shipping from Dubai to Riyadh

Riyadh is a frequently requested destination from Dubai, especially families whose work has moved to the capital. The shipment arrives in 2–4 days, and we deliver to northern districts such as Al Malqa, Al Narjis and Hittin as well as the east, west and south, calling the consignee before arrival to set the unloading time.

Shipping from Dubai to Dammam and Khobar

The Eastern Province takes about the same time: after clearance at Al Batha the truck heads north to Al Ahsa, then Dammam, Khobar, Dhahran and Jubail.

Shipping from Dubai to Jeddah, Makkah and Madinah

The west of the Kingdom is further from the border, so the shipment needs 4–6 days and the price is a little higher than Riyadh because of the distance. We deliver door to door with assembly across Jeddah, Makkah and Madinah.

Crossing Ghuwaifat and Al Batha

At Ghuwaifat the shipment’s UAE exit papers are stamped; at Al Batha its details and contents list are submitted to ZATCA, and some boxes may be opened for inspection. That is why we number every box and label its contents in Arabic and English, so inspection goes smoothly. Any applicable duties are calculated according to the regulations in force at the time of shipping.

Pickup across Dubai

We cover every part of Dubai, and each area loads differently:

  • Dubai Marina and JLT: high-rise towers with service lifts booked by time slot and designated loading bays below.
  • Al Barsha and Jumeirah: apartments and villas; villas usually need a dedicated truck.
  • Deira and Al Qusais: busy streets, so we pick the loading hour with the least traffic.
  • Jebel Ali and Al Quoz: traders’ warehouses for goods and pallets.

Move-out permits in Dubai towers

Most residential towers in Dubai will not let furniture out without a move-out permit from the building or property management company, and some ask for utility clearance or the landlord’s approval. The service lift is booked for set hours, and a refundable deposit may be requested. So we ask you to start the permit a few days before loading, and we send the building the truck and crew details if they need them.

Area-by-area pickup notes in Dubai

Dubai Marina: many towers set loading hours and do not allow large trucks to park on the main road, so if needed we send a mid-size truck that shuttles the furniture to the large truck outside the area, and the rear loading bay is booked in advance.

JLT: each cluster has its own service entrance and furniture lift, so we ask for your tower and cluster name to reach the right entrance without losing booked time.

Al Barsha: a mix of apartments and villas; villas usually allow the truck to park at the door, so loading goes quicker than in towers.

Jumeirah: villas with large furniture and gardens; we bring covers for outdoor pieces and tools to take down swings and shades.

Deira and Al Qusais: narrow streets and heavy traffic, so we set an early loading hour and use a truck sized for the street.

Worked example: a family moving from JLT to Riyadh

Take a family in a three-bedroom apartment in Jumeirah Lakes Towers, moving to a district in north Riyadh with an SUV. This is how it goes:

  1. About a week before: the family sends photos of the rooms, we estimate the volume, and they receive an itemised quote: the apartment from SAR 2,300 and the SUV from SAR 1,400.
  2. A few days before: the family requests the move-out permit from building management and books the service lift for long enough to move three rooms.
  3. Pickup day: the team arrives at the start of the slot, dismantles and packs inside the apartment, then brings everything down in one go. The SUV is collected from the tower car park on a car carrier.
  4. On the road: the truck crosses Ghuwaifat and then Al Batha, with WhatsApp messages at each stage.
  5. In Riyadh: the furniture arrives in 2–4 days, is assembled in the new home and checked against the list.

If the Riyadh home is not ready, the furniture stays in storage until the delivery date the family chooses.

Furniture moving from Dubai to Saudi Arabia

Most people moving furniture from Dubai to the Kingdom are families relocating for a job in Riyadh or the Eastern Province, or residents returning after years in Dubai. Either way, the home needs to move as it is, from dismantling in Dubai to assembly in the new home.

Dismantling and packing in your apartment

The team dismantles bedrooms, wardrobes and dining tables and keeps screws in numbered bags with each piece. Wood is wrapped in bubble wrap and then heavy cardboard, mattresses go in covers, and glass and crockery in divided boxes. Because the service lift is booked for set hours, we pack everything inside the apartment first and then bring it all down to the truck in one go during the slot.

Large villa furniture in Jumeirah and Al Barsha

A villa with several rooms, majlis seating and appliances usually needs a dedicated truck, starting from SAR 5,100. We can dismantle outdoor play sets and garden furniture if you want them moved, and pack them separately from the indoor furniture.

Assembly in Saudi Arabia

The team unloads at your new address, carries pieces to the rooms you choose, assembles the furniture and checks every item against the contents list with you. Insurance for valuable items can be added on request.

Car shipping from Dubai to Saudi Arabia

We collect your car from the tower car park or outside your villa and load it onto a professional car carrier to your Saudi address. An open multi-car carrier starts from SAR 1,100 for a sedan and SAR 1,400 for an SUV; an enclosed carrier for new and luxury cars starts from SAR 2,300.

Shipping a car from Dubai to Saudi Arabia on a car carrier — Al Saif

A Dubai-registered car needs its Mulkiya, an export certificate from Dubai’s RTA and the owner’s papers. Conditions for importing a car into Saudi Arabia are set by ZATCA and change over time, so confirm them before shipping according to the regulations in force at the time of shipping, and do not deregister the car before you have the export certificate.

Appliances and electronics from Dubai

Many people leaving Dubai buy appliances and electronics before the move, or take their current ones with them. TVs are packed in heavy cardboard with corner guards and loaded upright, fridges and washing machines have their moving parts secured before loading, and computers travel in padded boxes. Keep the invoices for new appliances, as they may be requested at clearance in Al Batha, and make sure each appliance runs on the voltage used in Saudi Arabia. Loose batteries, such as e-bike and scooter batteries, cannot be shipped with your belongings, so tell us about them in advance and we will agree how to handle them.

Boxes and gifts from Dubai

A parcel up to 5 kg starts from SAR 65 and boxes from SAR 7.5 per kg. This suits people sending clothes, gifts and things from Dubai’s shops to family in the Kingdom, students, and anyone sending belongings in stages before the furniture. Write the consignee’s name, mobile number and city on every box.

Commercial goods from Dubai to Saudi Arabia

Dubai is the trading base for many suppliers to the Saudi market. We collect goods from warehouses in Jebel Ali and Al Quoz and ship them on pallets from SAR 750, as a full truck from SAR 6,500, or in a full sea container from Jebel Ali port to Dammam or Jeddah port. Goods need a commercial invoice, a packing list and a certificate of origin.

A sea container suits large, non-urgent volumes. Household furniture and cars go by road, because door delivery is simpler and the trip is shorter.

For traders in Jebel Ali and Al Quoz

A trader supplying the Saudi market from Dubai needs to settle three things before shipping: the size of the shipment, how it will be cleared, and where it is delivered. For small and medium consignments, pallets on a shared truck are enough; for regular volumes a full truck suits better because it leaves on your schedule without waiting for other shipments.

  • Prepare the commercial invoice, packing list and certificate of origin before loading, and make sure descriptions and quantities match across them.
  • Stretch-wrap goods on pallets and mark each pallet with its number and box count.
  • Set the Saudi delivery address: a warehouse in Riyadh, Dammam or Jeddah, or the customer’s shop directly.
  • Confirm the import requirements for your type of goods according to the regulations in force at the time of shipping.

We collect from Jebel Ali and Al Quoz warehouses at a time that suits the warehouse’s working hours, and send you loading photos and the truck number.

Air freight from Dubai to Saudi Arabia

For documents, spare parts, samples and prescribed medicines, air freight from Dubai delivers in 1–2 days to King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah or King Fahd International Airport in Dammam. It is priced on actual or volumetric weight, whichever is higher; volumetric weight = length × width × height in cm ÷ 6000.

Car Mulkiya, Dubai traffic export certificate, owner’s papers.

Storage in Dubai before shipping

Many Dubai leases end before the Saudi home is ready. In that case we keep your furniture packed in a warehouse and ship it on the date you choose, with storage added by volume and duration.
