A box or bag up to 30 kg starts from SAR 120, one room of furniture from SAR 880 and a sedan from SAR 1,100. To book, call 0555915287.

Shipping company from Madinah to Qatar: how the shipment travels

There is no direct road from Madinah to Qatar, so the truck heads east on the Al Hanakiyah road towards Qassim, drops down to Riyadh and joins Al Saif’s regular Qatar runs there. It then continues through Khurais to Al Ahsa and Hofuf, and on to the Salwa crossing near the east coast. Once Saudi export clearance has been filed online through Fasah, the truck crosses to Abu Samra, where Qatari import clearance takes place, and reaches Doha in under an hour and a half.

Because of this routing, the transit time from Madinah is close to that from Jeddah even though the road is different. Madinah customers also benefit from shared loads: small shipments are consolidated with Riyadh cargo so each customer pays less, while large moves such as villas or several cars leave on a dedicated truck straight from your door.

Why Madinah families choose Al Saif

Our crews know Madinah housing: older buildings around the central area with narrow stairwells, modern villas in Shuran, Al Aziziyah and Bani Harithah, and new plots along the Universities Road. Each needs a different handling plan. Older buildings sometimes need an external lift, and villas need a larger crew for bedrooms and majlis sets. We schedule loading away from peak traffic near the Prophet’s Mosque and arrange truck access permits for busy districts when required.

Shipping prices from Madinah to Qatar

These are starting prices and apply from Madinah as from every other Saudi city. The final figure depends on volume, weight, truck type and the delivery city in Qatar. Madinah is one of the cities far from Salwa, so the price may rise a little with distance; the itemised quote after the survey confirms the final price.

How the cost is calculated

Four things set the cost: volume in cubic metres or weight in kilograms, whether the load is shared or dedicated, extras such as dismantling, packing or a lift, and the delivery city in Qatar. A delivery to Doha or Al Rayyan costs differently from one to Dukhan or Al Shamal, which takes an extra day. For air freight we charge actual or volumetric weight, whichever is higher, where volumetric weight = L × W × H ÷ 6000.

Example: a graduate of the Islamic University sends 5 boxes of books and clothes, about 120 kg, to family in Doha. On a shared road load this starts from around SAR 900 and arrives in 4–5 days.

How to save when shipping from Madinah

• Choose a shared load if your shipment is under half a truck.
• Sell or give away old furniture in Madinah instead of paying to move it.
• Pack boxes tightly so you are not paying for empty space.
• Book early before the end of the academic year, when students and families travel most.
• Combine the car and furniture in one booking so a single trip covers both.

Furniture moving from Madinah to Qatar

Every move starts with a free survey at home or over photos and a video call, after which the supervisor sets the volume and truck type. On moving day the crew dismantles beds, wardrobes and kitchens, wraps each item in suitable material, then numbers and records it on the inventory that travels with the shipment to Qatar.

Furniture moving options

• One or two rooms on a shared load: suits employees and students, from SAR 880.
• Full apartment on a dedicated dyna: the truck is opened only at your door in Qatar, from SAR 1,700.
• Villa by trailer: for villas in Shuran, Al Aziziyah and Al Khalidiyah, from SAR 7,900.
• Single items: a fridge, washing machine or sofa travelling with other cargo.

Luxury furniture and valuables

Gilded majlis sets, marble tables, crystal chandeliers, Qurans and valuable manuscripts get special handling: custom wooden crates, foam layers and corner guards, loaded at the front of the truck away from heavy cargo. Insurance for valuable items can be added on request.

Dismantling, packing and assembly

The crew uses bubble wrap for glass, double-wall cartons for crockery and books, moving blankets for wood and fitted mattress covers. Screws and small parts go into bags labelled with each item, so assembly in Qatar is quick and accurate. On arrival the crew carries everything to the right rooms, reassembles beds and wardrobes and removes the packing materials.

What we ship from Madinah to Qatar

We ship household and office furniture, appliances, boxes and bags, cars, commercial goods, home libraries, and packaged dates from the farms of Madinah, Quba and Al Awali with their health documents. Common requests include gifts sent by pilgrims to relatives living in Qatar, students’ book collections, and the belongings of families relocating to Doha for work.

Parcels, boxes and bags

A box or bag up to 30 kg starts from SAR 120, and anything above is charged per kilo from SAR 7.5 on a shared road load. Reinforce book boxes because they are heavy, and write the Qatar consignee’s name and mobile number on every box.

Commercial goods and e-commerce

For Madinah shops selling dates, perfumes, carpets and Qurans, we offer full loads on a dedicated truck from SAR 1,700, or part loads per cubic metre or per tonne from SAR 420. For online stores we consolidate orders into a regular shipment delivered to a warehouse in Doha or straight to customers, with commercial registration, invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, and a health certificate for food and dates.

Car shipping from Madinah to Qatar

Cars from Madinah travel on a shared open carrier from SAR 1,100 for a sedan and SAR 1,400 for an SUV, or on an enclosed carrier from SAR 1,850 for luxury and classic cars that need full protection from dust and heat on a long road.

VIP car service

With VIP service the car is collected from your home, fitted with a protective cover, photographed from every side before loading, strapped onto an enclosed carrier and handed over in Qatar with arrival photos for comparison.

Car shipping steps

1. Send the registration and the owner’s ID.
2. Obtain export plates or an export certificate, plus a bank letter if the car is financed.
3. Inspect and photograph the car and record the mileage.
4. Load onto the carrier and follow the route to Salwa.
5. Clear at Abu Samra and deliver in Qatar.

Air freight from Madinah to Qatar

For urgent and small shipments we fly from Prince Mohammed bin Abdulaziz Airport in Madinah, or through King Abdulaziz Airport in Jeddah when needed, to Hamad International Airport in Doha, arriving in 1–2 days door to door. Prices start from SAR 46 per kg, charged on actual or volumetric weight, whichever is higher. Air suits documents, electronics, gifts and prescription medicines; furniture and cars are far cheaper by road.

Land, air or sea: which suits you?

Sea freight is an option for large commercial containers moved from King Abdulaziz Port in Dammam to Hamad Port. We do not use it for furniture or cars, because the road is faster and involves less handling.

The Salwa and Abu Samra crossings

Salwa, in Al Ahsa governorate, is the only land crossing between Saudi Arabia and Qatar, facing Abu Samra on the Qatari side. Export formalities filed in advance through Fasah are completed at Salwa; at Abu Samra the import clearance, inspection and inventory check take place. Our agent follows the shipment through both crossings so it is not held up by a missing statement or an inventory error.

Customs and documents

Procedures and fees apply according to the regulations in force at the time of shipping. We do not ship flammables, gas cylinders, loose batteries, medicines without a prescription, or plants and seeds without a permit. Madinah customers should note that palm offshoots and seedlings need an agricultural permit.

Qatari cities we deliver to

In Doha we deliver across Al Dafna, West Bay, Al Sadd, Old Airport, Al Mansoura, Al Hilal, Al Aziziyah and Fereej Bin Mahmoud. Al Rayyan and Al Wakrah are delivered the same day the shipment arrives; Lusail, Al Khor and Mesaieed add about a day; Dukhan, Al Shamal and Al Ruwais add 1–2 days; Umm Salal sits just north of Doha.

Steps to ship from Madinah to Qatar

1. Call 0555915287 or send photos of the shipment on WhatsApp.
2. Survey, volume, shipping method and price.

5. Departure via Qassim, Riyadh and Al Ahsa to Salwa.
6. Clearance at Abu Samra.
7. Delivery and assembly at your address in Qatar.

Shipment tracking

After loading you receive a shipment number, and the supervisor sends WhatsApp updates on reaching Riyadh, entering Salwa and leaving Abu Samra. A few hours before delivery the driver calls to confirm the location.

Storage before or after shipping

If you hand back your Madinah home before your Qatar home is ready, we store the furniture wrapped in a closed warehouse and ship it on the date you choose. Short-term storage in Qatar is also available until you receive your keys.

Daily trips and regular schedules

Al Saif’s Qatar trips leave from Riyadh and the Eastern Province almost daily, and Madinah cargo joins them on reaching Riyadh, so your shipment does not wait long for a full load.

When is a good time to ship?

Winter and spring suit delicate furniture and appliances, since summer heat on a road of about 1,400 km calls for heavier packing. Demand rises before the start and end of the school year and before Eid, so booking early at those times secures a convenient slot.

Shipping from Qatar to Madinah

We also serve the reverse route, from Doha and the rest of Qatar to Madinah, with the same prices and services, for families returning home or moving to live near the Prophet’s Mosque. Call 0555915287.
