Prices start from SAR 17 per kg by air, SAR 520 per room in a shared container, SAR 5,600 for a 20 ft container and SAR 1,700 for a sedan. Call or WhatsApp: 0555915287.

Shipping company from Jeddah to Tunisia: why the journey is shorter from here

Jeddah is the Kingdom’s gateway to the Red Sea, home to Jeddah Islamic Port, from which most ships bound for the Suez Canal and the Mediterranean sail. Anyone shipping from Jeddah to Tunisia therefore starts at the point customers in Riyadh, Qassim and Madinah only reach after a long road journey. A container loaded at your home in the morning can be in the port yard by evening, saving you the cost of road transport and reducing the furniture’s exposure to heat and vibration on the highways.

Jeddah has a large Tunisian community working in hospitals, hotels, restaurants, trading companies, hospitality and education, many of whom have lived in the city for years and own a full household and sometimes a car. Tunisians living in Makkah, Madinah and Taif also ship from Jeddah, as it is their nearest port. We collect from all these cities and consolidate shared shipments in our Jeddah warehouse before they enter the container bound for Rades.

Once in the port the container is registered with Saudi Customs through Fasah, waits for its vessel, is loaded and sails north up the Red Sea, through the Suez Canal and west across the Mediterranean to Tunisia, possibly switching vessels at a transhipment port. On arrival our agent clears it with Tunisian Customs and delivers to your home.

Sea or air from Jeddah to Tunisia?

Sea is for the home, the car and the goods; air is for urgent and light items. From Jeddah the time difference between the two is clearer than elsewhere, because the container loses no time on the road to the port. Remember that air freight is charged on actual or volumetric weight, whichever is higher, so it does not suit furniture or large light items.

Why Tunisians in Jeddah choose Al Saif

Close to the port: our Jeddah team loads the container and takes it into the port with no long road haul.
Collection from Makkah, Madinah and Taif: and from Rabigh, King Abdullah Economic City and Khulais.
A container sealed in front of you: not opened until Rades unless Customs requests an inspection.
Regular shared sailings: Jeddah gathers shipments from several cities, so shared containers to Tunisia leave at close intervals.
Delivery across Tunisia: port to door with assembly, or port to port.
An itemised quote: every line item clear from home to home.
Optional insurance: insurance can be added for valuable items on request.
One number: 0555915287 for booking and follow-up.

Our Jeddah team knows the city’s neighbourhoods: old buildings in Al Sharafiyah and Al Baghdadiyah with narrow stairs, towers on the Corniche and Al Shati with lifts and access rules, and villas with gardens in Obhur and Al Muhammadiyah. Each needs its own loading method, so we bring a hoist where needed and coordinate with tower management in advance.

Shipping prices from Jeddah to Tunisia

These are starting prices; the final price is set after estimating volume and confirming the arrival port and Tunisian city. Because the port is in Jeddah, no long road haul is added to your quote, which is one reason the total cost from Jeddah is lower.

What sets the price from Jeddah

Price depends first on volume, then on shipping type: shared, charged per cubic metre, or a dedicated container at a fixed price. The arrival port matters too, as delivery in Tunis from Rades is closer than delivery to Sfax or Djerba. Your floor, the need for a hoist and extras such as wooden crates, storage and insurance also count. If you live in Makkah, Madinah or Taif, transport to Jeddah is added, which is far shorter than from Riyadh.

How to save on shipping from Jeddah

Use shared shipping: sailings from Jeddah are frequent, so two rooms do not need a full container.
Time your move-out with the container: so you do not pay for storage you do not need.
Sell what will not suit your Tunisian home: such as extra ACs and large old furniture.
Put family gifts in the container: instead of separate air parcels.
Book before the summer season: when return requests peak.

Furniture moving from Jeddah to Tunisia

We start with a volume estimate by visit or video call, then choose the container type and number of cartons and agree a packing day. The team arrives in the morning with cartons, blankets, bubble wrap and corner protectors, dismantles the large pieces, labels every carton with its room and contents and prepares the contents list for Saudi Customs and Tunisian Customs.

Packing a Jeddah apartment before shipping to Tunisia — Al Saif

Jeddah’s humidity is high most of the year, and salt in the sea air affects metal and electronics. So we pack on as dry a day as possible, make sure wood and mattresses are completely dry before wrapping, place moisture absorbers in the container and wrap metal and appliances in an anti-rust layer.

Bedrooms and living rooms

We dismantle wardrobes and beds, wrap panels in cardboard, put mirrors in crates and mattresses in thick covers. Salons and sofas are wrapped piece by piece. Many Jeddah homes have heavy imported solid-wood furniture, which we protect with two layers and place at the bottom of the container so it does not press on anything.

Kitchens and IKEA kitchens

IKEA kitchens in modern Jeddah apartments are dismantled after we photograph them and number the units, with each unit’s screws bagged. Made-to-measure kitchens can also be dismantled, though kitchen dimensions in Tunisia may differ. Marble and granite travel upright in wooden crates.

Appliances and air conditioners

Split ACs are removed by a technician who recovers the gas; the fridge is emptied and dried and the washing machine drum locked. Tunisia runs on 220 V with European sockets, so prepare adapters. Appliances that have worked for years in Jeddah’s humidity may be near the end of their life, so assess whether each is worth shipping.

Antiques and office furniture

For antiques, chandeliers and valuable rugs we build wooden crates or wrap them with particular care. If your company, restaurant or clinic in Jeddah is moving equipment to Tunisia, we dismantle, pack and number by department. Insurance can be added for valuable items on request.

Sea freight from Jeddah Islamic Port to Rades, Sfax and Sousse

Sea freight is the main route from Jeddah to Tunisia for furniture, cars and goods. Jeddah Islamic Port is a major Red Sea port served by lines sailing to the Mediterranean through the Suez Canal. After loading, the ship sails north, transits the canal and heads west to Tunisia, possibly calling at a Mediterranean transhipment port where the container moves to another vessel. The voyage takes about 18–25 days port to port, varying with the line and transhipment calls.

A furniture container sailing from Jeddah Islamic Port to Rades port in Tunisia — Al Saif

From Jeddah we offer a full container load (FCL), a 20 ft or 40 ft container for you alone, loaded at your door and sealed, and shared shipping (LCL), where you take part of a container, pay only for your volume and your goods are packed on pallets under your name. Because Jeddah consolidates shipments from Makkah, Madinah and Taif, shared containers to Tunisia fill faster, so your goods sail closer to your date.

Port to door or port to port?

With port to door, our agent receives the container in Tunisia, completes Customs formalities, moves the furniture to your home and assembles it on request. With port to port, we hand over the container at Rades, Sfax or Sousse and the consignee collects it through a local clearing agent, then arranges transport. Either way we send the bill of lading and contents list before the ship arrives.

Arrival at Rades and Tunisian Customs clearance

At Rades the container is discharged and the clearing agent submits the bill of lading, contents list, consignee’s passport and proof of returning-resident status where applicable. Customs may inspect the container in the agent’s presence, then release it once any duties due are paid, and it is delivered to your address. If your home is in Sfax or Sousse, the container may arrive directly at your city’s port and clear there.

Returning residents from Jeddah, Makkah and Madinah, students and family gifts

A returning resident from Jeddah, Makkah or Madinah usually ships a complete household, often after many years in the Kingdom. We advise asking Tunisian Customs or the Tunisian consulate in Jeddah about exemption conditions for returning residents’ effects, which are set by the Tunisian authorities according to the regulations in force at the time of shipping, and keeping proof of residence and employment in the Kingdom.

Tunisian students at universities in Jeddah, Makkah and Madinah ship books, references and devices; books are heavy, so sea is far more economical. Gifts from Jeddah such as dates, perfumes, clothes and rugs go as air parcels or in the container, after checking that each item is allowed for shipping.

Commercial goods from Jeddah to Tunisia

Jeddah is a trading centre with large warehouses in the south of the city and the industrial area, and we ship goods from here to Tunisia.

Partial loads

From SAR 790 per 100 kg: goods are consolidated with others in a shared container and you pay on their weight or volume. This suits small shops and traders sending regular quantities.

Full loads

A 20 ft or 40 ft container is loaded and sealed at your Jeddah warehouse and usually enters the port the same day. We share sailing schedules with you.

Commercial documents

Commercial registration, commercial invoice, packing list and certificate of origin. The Tunisian importer may need licences or conformity certificates for some products.

Car shipping from Jeddah to Tunisia

From Jeddah the car is handed over at the port directly, with no car carrier from another city. It ships to Tunisia by RoRo, driven onto the ship and secured on deck with no cover, or inside a shared or dedicated container secured with straps and chocks. Shared shipping for a sedan starts from SAR 1,700, and an SUV in its own 20 ft container starts from SAR 5,600. A 40 ft container with your furniture may have room for the car too.

Car documents from Jeddah

Vehicle registration (istimara).
Owner’s ID or iqama and passport.
Export plates or an export certificate.
A bank letter if the car is financed.

Importing the car into Tunisia

Conditions for importing cars into Tunisia, from vehicle age to required certificates and the special schemes for Tunisians resident abroad, are set by Tunisian Customs according to the regulations in force at the time of shipping and change from time to time, so confirm them with Customs or the consulate before shipping. Jeddah cars are exposed to sea humidity, so check the body and treat any rust before shipping, and photograph the car from every side.

Customs, exemptions and required papers

We handle export from Jeddah port through Fasah with your authorisation, and the clearing agent in Tunisia handles import. Rules on returning residents’ effects and imported cars are set by Tunisian Customs and change over time, so confirm them with Customs or the consulate before shipping.

Furniture documents from Jeddah

ID or iqama.
Passport.
Contents list.
Fasah authorisation.
Consignee details in Tunisia: name, passport or national ID card, address and phone.

Parcels, bags and e-commerce from Jeddah

From Jeddah, small parcels fly from King Abdulaziz Airport and large numbers of bags go by sea in shared shipping. Many Tunisian Umrah and Hajj visitors use this service to send purchases from Makkah and Madinah home instead of carrying them on the plane. Jeddah online sellers can batch orders for customers in Tunisia and send them in one consignment.

Air freight from King Abdulaziz Airport to Tunis–Carthage

Air freight from Jeddah to Tunisia suits documents, parcels, bags and samples. It departs from King Abdulaziz International Airport and reaches Tunis–Carthage International Airport in 2–5 days, from SAR 17 per kg, charged on actual or volumetric weight, whichever is higher; volumetric weight is length × width × height in centimetres divided by 6000. We collect parcels from your Jeddah home or from Makkah.
