Shipping Company from Khamis Mushait to Turkey: Highlands, Port, Then Sea

Khamis Mushait is a mountain city in the heart of Asir, far from the ports, so a shipment to Turkey goes through two clear stages: a road stage in which the truck descends from the highlands to the Red Sea coast at Jeddah, and a sea stage in which the vessel carries the container to Turkey. We do not offer a road route to Turkey, because sea is the practical way to move furniture and cars; the container is sealed outside your home in Khamis and opened only at the Turkish port.

The truck covers about 700 km from Khamis Mushait to Jeddah Islamic Port, either on the Tihama road that drops through the Shaar or Dhila escarpment passes to the coast and heads north via Muhayil, Al Qunfudhah and Al Lith, or on the highland road through Al Namas, Al Baha and Taif. We choose the road according to the load, the type of truck and the weather, since the escarpment passes call for drivers who know them well, especially with rain and fog in the summer season. From Jeddah the container sails north to the Suez Canal and into the Mediterranean, reaching Mersin in southern Turkey, Ambarli on the European side of Istanbul or Izmir on the west coast.

Why Jeddah Rather Than Dammam?

King Abdulaziz Port in Dammam is further from Khamis Mushait than Jeddah, and vessels from there to Turkey must sail around the Arabian Peninsula before entering the Red Sea, lengthening both the road and sea legs. We therefore route Asir shipments through Jeddah Islamic Port, the nearest port for them on the Turkey lines.

What Khamis Mushait Customers Get with Us

Our customers in Asir range from families in Khamis and Abha who love Turkey’s mountain climate and own summer apartments there, to expatriates of many nationalities working in the region who have decided to move to Turkey, students at Turkish universities, and traders importing furniture, fabrics and building materials from Turkey for the Khamis markets. Because the city is far from the sea, customers need a single provider to follow the shipment from their front door to the door of their apartment in Turkey.

• A team working in Asir: dismantling, packing and loading in Khamis, Abha and the surrounding governorates.
• Drivers who know the passes: bringing the container safely down from the highlands to Jeddah.
• Shared and full containers: from a single room to a villa.
• Turkish port chosen for you: according to the city you live in.
• Itemised quote: trucking, ocean freight, clearance and delivery each priced separately.
• Optional insurance: insurance can be added for valuable items on request.

Shipping Prices from Khamis Mushait to Turkey

We apply the same starting prices in every Saudi city, so a Khamis Mushait customer pays no more for shared container space or air freight than anyone else. The difference shows in the trucking from Asir to Jeddah port, the Turkish port and the delivery point. Destination port charges, inland delivery in Turkey and Turkish customs clearance are set out in the itemised quote before loading.

Factors That Affect the Price

• Collection point in Asir: central Khamis or Abha differs from Tathlith, Dhahran Al Janub or the villages of Rijal Alma.
• Volume: a room, a small household, or a 20 ft or 40 ft container.
• Access to the house: some Asir homes sit on narrow mountain roads and need a small truck to shuttle goods to the container.
• Turkish port: Mersin, Ambarli, Izmir or Iskenderun.
• Services: wooden crates, assembly and storage.

How to Lower the Cost

A shared container is the cheapest way to ship a room or a few items, because you pay only for your share of the space. If you are moving the whole house, ask about a 40 ft container, which may hold everything for a reasonable difference over a 20 ft. Do not ship heavy old furniture that can be replaced in Turkey, pack small items in boxes of the same size, and book well before the summer season.

Furniture Moving from Khamis Mushait to Turkey

Asir’s rainy, humid spells make protecting furniture from moisture a priority from the moment of packing, all the more so before a sea voyage lasting weeks. Our team surveys your home in Al Raqi, Al Mousa, Dhurah or Al Dhiyafah, writes a numbered contents list, wraps every item in layers that keep moisture out and stows everything tightly in the container.

Bedrooms and Majlis Seating

We take beds and wardrobes down into panels, wrap them in padded plastic and heavy cardboard and keep screws in numbered bags. Mattresses go into sealed covers. Asiri majlis seating, floor cushions and rugs are folded and wrapped in blankets, with moisture-absorbing sachets added inside the boxes.

Kitchens, Including IKEA Kitchens

We dismantle kitchen cabinets and number each unit so it can be rebuilt as it was. IKEA kitchens are handled with care because their panels swell with humidity, so we wrap them in two layers and load them upright. Crockery and plates are wrapped piece by piece.

Appliances and Air Conditioners

We empty and dry the fridge and washing machine a day ahead and lock the washer drum. A technician removes air conditioners, pumping down the gas and sealing the pipes, and we pack screens and small appliances in padded boxes.

Antiques and Office Furniture

Antiques, mirrors, chandeliers and traditional Asiri pieces go into made-to-measure wooden crates, and insurance can be added for valuable items on request. We move office furniture with desks, cabinets and equipment numbered by department.

From Asir to Jeddah Port: The Road Leg Before Sailing

If the street is wide enough, the container comes to your house and is loaded and sealed in front of you. If the house is on a narrow or steep road, we carry the goods in a smaller truck to a loading point and then into the container. For small shipments we gather items at our warehouse and add them to a shared container. We time the trip down to Jeddah to the sailing date and follow export formalities through the Fasah platform until the container is on board.

Sea Freight from Jeddah to Turkish Ports

We offer full container loads (FCL) in 20 ft from SAR 6,000 for an apartment or medium home and 40 ft from SAR 8,200 for a villa or large house, and shared containers (LCL) where a single room starts from SAR 3,250 and a small household from SAR 3,700. The voyage from Jeddah Islamic Port takes 15–20 days to Mersin and 18–25 days to Ambarli in Istanbul, and can be routed to Izmir for the Aegean or Iskenderun for the south-east.

Port to Door or Port to Port

With port-to-door service a local Turkish clearance agent handles the container’s formalities, then we deliver to your address in Turkey and assemble on request. With port-to-port service the container arrives in Mersin or Ambarli and is collected by a Turkish customs broker chosen by the consignee, who handles clearance and inland transport.

Turkish Cities We Serve

People from Asir are at home with green mountains, fog and rain, so many choose Trabzon and the Black Sea highlands for the summer, or Bursa, Sakarya and Sapanca. Those moving for work or study usually settle on either side of Istanbul or in Ankara. In mountain towns we arrange a smaller truck for the last stretch and a furniture lift for upper floors where needed.

Asir Families with Summer Homes in Turkey, Students and Movers

Many requests from Khamis Mushait and Abha come from families who have bought an apartment or house in Turkey and want to send furniture, soft furnishings and kitchenware before the holidays. We arrange a shared or 20 ft container for them and deliver when a family member or their agent is present. We send students at Turkish universities their luggage, books and devices by air or sea, and for residents relocating to Turkey we handle the whole house from dismantling to assembly.

Turkish Customs: Used Effects and Cars

Export formalities are completed in the Kingdom through Fasah, then the shipment is cleared at the Turkish port by Turkish Customs. Turkish Customs sets the conditions for bringing in used furniture, personal effects and cars, and treatment differs by the consignee’s situation: a returning Turkish citizen, a foreigner holding a residence permit, or a non-resident property owner. Some cases may qualify for relief on used goods when a residence permit or transfer-of-residence certificate is presented, and cars have their own regime that may allow temporary import for certain categories. Because these rules change, confirm with Turkish Customs or the Turkish consulate before shipping, and we will prepare the declarations in line with the regulations in force at the time of shipping.

Furniture Documents

• ID or iqama, and passport.
• Numbered contents list.
• Fasah authorisation.
• Consignee details in Turkey: passport, Turkish tax number and full address.

Commercial Cargo Documents

Commercial registration, invoice, packing list and certificate of origin, and we review with you any additional certificates the Turkish authorities require for the type of goods.

Commercial Cargo Between Khamis Mushait and Turkey

Khamis Mushait’s markets are busy, and their traders import furniture, carpets, fabrics, clothing and building materials from Turkey. We also ship goods from Asir to Turkey as part loads from SAR 2,300 per ton in a shared container, or in a full 20 ft or 40 ft container, preparing the customs data and following the container to the consignee’s warehouse.

Car Shipping from Khamis Mushait to Turkey

We ship cars to Turkey by sea in two ways: a roll-on/roll-off (RoRo) vessel, where the car is driven up the ramp and secured on deck, or an enclosed container of its own for owners who want more protection. Sedans start from SAR 5,100, SUVs from SAR 7,500 and a car in its own enclosed container from SAR 12,000. We take the car from Khamis to Jeddah on a covered car carrier, so it does not descend the escarpment passes on its own wheels.

Car Shipping Documents

• Vehicle registration and owner’s ID.
• Export plates or export certificate.
• A bank letter if the car is financed.
• Traffic fines settled before export.

Bringing the Car into Turkey

Conditions and fees for bringing cars into Turkey are set by Turkish Customs and change from time to time, so confirm your car’s situation with Turkish Customs or the Turkish consulate before shipping, so it does not reach the port and meet an unexpected obstacle.

Air Freight from Khamis Mushait to Istanbul Airport

For documents, parcels, devices and anything that must arrive quickly, we offer air freight to Istanbul Airport, Sabiha Gökçen Airport on the Asian side, Antalya Airport or Ankara Esenboğa Airport. We collect from your home in Khamis or Abha, and the shipment departs from Abha International Airport or via King Abdulaziz Airport in Jeddah depending on flights, arriving in 2–4 days. Prices start from SAR 14 per kg, charged on actual or volumetric weight, whichever is higher; volumetric weight = length × width × height ÷ 6000 in centimetres.

Documents start from SAR 85 and parcels up to 5 kg from SAR 110. Because a large, light box is charged by its size, leave furniture to the sea and use air for what cannot wait.

Sea, Air or Road?

For Khamis Mushait customers: furniture, cars and cargo by sea from Jeddah, urgent and light items by air from Abha. We do not offer road shipping to Turkey.

Prohibited Items and Packing Tips

We do not accept flammables, gas cylinders, loose batteries, medicines without a prescription, or plants and seeds without a permit. We remind Asir customers that honey, local ghee and farm products may be subject to special requirements, so ask us before adding them. Drain fuel from equipment, take batteries out of devices and carry medicines with their prescription. Use double-wall boxes, fill gaps with paper and add moisture-absorbing sachets to fabrics and books.

Parcels, Bags and E-commerce Orders

Parcels up to 5 kg start from SAR 110, with extra weight from SAR 14 per kg by air. We ship excess luggage, boxes of clothes and gifts for relatives, and we serve online stores in Khamis Mushait and Abha selling to customers in Turkey by collecting their orders and sending them to buyers’ addresses.

Distance and Time from Khamis Mushait to Turkey

Add time for clearance at the Turkish port and delivery to the address, which varies by port and city.

Shipment Tracking

We notify you when the truck leaves Khamis, when it reaches Jeddah and when the vessel sails, and give you the container and bill of lading numbers to follow with the shipping line, then update you on arrival in Turkey and the delivery date.

Storage Before or After Shipping

If you must vacate your Khamis Mushait home before the sailing date, or your apartment in Turkey is not handed over yet, we store your belongings in a closed warehouse until the date, priced by volume and duration.

Shipping from Turkey to Khamis Mushait

We also serve the reverse route: people returning from Turkey to Asir, buyers of Turkish furniture for a new home, and traders importing carpets, fabrics and building materials for the Khamis markets. We collect from any Turkish city, ship to Jeddah and bring the shipment up to Khamis Mushait, in line with the regulations in force at the time of shipping.

When to Ship?

Many of our customers prefer spring and autumn. Summer is busy with holiday-home requests for Turkey, Asir’s summer rain and fog can slow the descent through the passes, and winter snow can delay deliveries to Trabzon and the Black Sea highlands. Book early if your date falls in summer.
