Shipping Company from Madinah to Turkey: From Taybah to Anatolia

Madinah and Turkey share a long historical bond that Madinah’s people know well, and visitors can still see its traces at the Hejaz Railway station. Today homes, cars and goods travel from Madinah to Turkey by sea, and parcels by air. A sea shipment begins with a truck carrying your container or furniture from your district along the Hijrah expressway to Jeddah Islamic Port, a road leg of one or two days depending on the port delivery slot. The vessel then sails north up the Red Sea to the Suez Canal and crosses the Mediterranean to Turkey.

We use Jeddah port for Madinah customers because it lies directly on the shipping lane to the Suez Canal and has regular sailings to the Turkish ports, unlike shipping from Dammam, which goes around the Arabian Peninsula. In Turkey we route the container to the port nearest your address: Mersin for Konya, Adana, Gaziantep and Antalya, Iskenderun for Hatay, Izmir for the west coast, and Ambarli for Istanbul, Bursa, Yalova and Sakarya.

Why your small shipment doesn’t wait long for a shared container

We gather shipments from Madinah and nearby towns at our consolidation warehouse, then truck them to Jeddah to join the shared containers leaving from there. Your small shipment therefore doesn’t have to wait for a container to fill from Madinah alone; it catches the next available sailing to the Turkish port you need.

Why Madinah Residents Choose Al Saif

Madinah has a Turkish community working in trade and hotels, Turkish students at the Islamic University who return home after graduating with their libraries and belongings, Saudi families who own homes in Istanbul, Bursa and Trabzon, and residents who have moved to live in Turkey. Experience tells us that a scholar’s books need special packing, a family home needs container planning, and a car needs complete papers before it reaches the port.

• Regular trucking to Jeddah port: for full containers and shared shipments.
• Special packing for books and libraries: small, strong boxes that carry the weight of books.
• Dismantling, packing and assembly: from your home in Madinah to your home in Turkey.
• Door delivery or port handover: whichever suits you.
• Itemised quotes: no surprises on loading day.
• Optional insurance: insurance can be added for valuable items on request.

Furniture Moving from Madinah to Turkey

After the survey we set the shipment volume and decide whether a shared container is enough or a 20 ft or 40 ft is needed. On loading day our crew arrives with cardboard, bubble wrap, blankets and tape, dismantles, wraps and numbers the furniture, and writes the contents list you need for Saudi and Turkish customs.

Bedrooms and majlis seating

We dismantle beds and wardrobes and keep their screws in numbered bags, seal mattresses in tight plastic covers, wrap sofas and majlis sets in bubble wrap, blankets and cardboard, and protect corners with card guards. The journey is long, with a road leg, a sea leg and another road leg in Turkey.

Kitchens, including IKEA kitchens

We dismantle kitchen cabinets and number doors, drawers and shelves. IKEA kitchen panels are wrapped one by one, since they are delicate at the edges, and stood upright. If the kitchen in your Turkish home is already fitted, you may not need to ship yours at all, so check this before the survey.

Appliances and air conditioners

Our technician removes the air conditioners and seals the pipes, and we empty and dry the fridge and washing machine and secure the drum. Turkey uses 220 V with European plugs; most Saudi appliances work with a plug adapter, but check each rating plate.

Libraries, books, antiques and office furniture

A student’s or teacher’s library can be the heaviest thing in the house, so we pack books in small, strong boxes that won’t burst under the weight and number them by shelf. Precious copies of the Quran, antiques, paintings and hand-made rugs go into padded wooden crates, and insurance can be added for valuable items on request. We also move office furniture for travel and trading companies opening offices in Turkey.

Sea Freight from Madinah: Containers to Mersin, Istanbul and Izmir

Sea is the practical route for shipping furniture, cars and commercial goods to Turkey. With a full container (FCL), a 20 ft or 40 ft box is loaded and sealed outside your home and trucked straight to Jeddah port, opened only at Turkish customs. With a shared container (LCL), your goods go to the consolidation warehouse and are loaded with other shipments heading to the same port, priced per cubic metre on their volume, and we send you the price once the volume is measured.

A 20 ft container starts from SAR 6,000 and fits a two- or three-bedroom flat, while a 40 ft starts from SAR 8,200 for a villa or large home. After sailing we send you the container and bill of lading numbers to follow with the shipping line.

Car Shipping from Madinah to Turkey

We move the car from Madinah to Jeddah port on a car transporter, then ship it to Turkey either by RoRo, where it is driven on board and secured, or inside a sealed container, strapped down. A sedan starts from SAR 5,100, an SUV from SAR 7,500, and a car in its own enclosed container from SAR 12,000.

Car shipping documents

• Valid vehicle registration.
• Owner’s ID or iqama.
• Export plates or an export certificate.
• A bank letter if the car is financed.

Can the car be brought into Turkey?

Turkish Customs sets the conditions for bringing cars in, by temporary import or full import. They vary with the owner’s status, residence and the car’s specifications, and change from time to time. Confirm them with Turkish Customs or the Turkish consulate before shipping; we prepare the Saudi export papers according to the regulations in force at the time of shipping.

Commercial Cargo and Dates from Madinah to Turkey

Madinah dates, especially Ajwa, are sought after by Muslims in Turkey, and traders ship them factory-packed in full or part container loads. Madinah merchants also export licensed perfumes, prayer beads and rugs, and import fabrics, clothing, homeware and packaged sweets from Turkey. We ship full loads in a dedicated container and part loads in a shared one, with commercial cargo from SAR 2,300 per ton. Documents: commercial registration, commercial invoice, packing list and certificate of origin.

Air Freight from Madinah to Istanbul Airport

For parcels, documents and urgent items we fly from Prince Mohammad bin Abdulaziz International Airport in Madinah, or from King Abdulaziz Airport in Jeddah when needed, to Istanbul Airport in 2–4 days, and also to Sabiha Gökçen, Antalya Airport and Ankara Esenboğa. Air freight starts from SAR 14 per kg, charged on actual or volumetric weight, whichever is higher (length × width × height ÷ 6000).

It suits returning students who need some of their books straight away before the container arrives, families sending gifts and dates, and traders sending samples.

Sea or Air? A Quick Comparison

Shipping to Turkey is by sea and air only; as for land, sea is the practical route for household goods and cars.

Shipping Prices from Madinah to Turkey

Starting prices are the same in every Saudi city. Destination port charges, inland delivery in Turkey and Turkish clearance are set as separate lines in your itemised quote, as is the road leg from Madinah to Jeddah port.

What sets the final price?

• Volume and weight: the number of items and boxes, and the weight of any library.
• Container type: shared, 20 ft or 40 ft.
• Arrival port and address distance: delivery to Konya from Mersin is short, to Trabzon from Ambarli longer.
• Extra services: assembly, wooden crates, a hoist and storage.

Ways to save

The cheapest way to ship a room or a student’s library is a shared container. Sort your books and belongings before the survey and donate what you don’t need, since every cubic metre counts. Combine the car and furniture in a 40 ft container where possible, and book early ahead of busy seasons.

Documents and Turkish Customs

Furniture documents

• ID or iqama, and passport.
• A detailed contents list.
• Fasah authorisation for Saudi clearance.
• The consignee’s details in Turkey: passport, Turkish tax number and full address.

Used personal effects and returnee exemptions

A Turkish student returning after years of study, a foreign resident moving to Turkey and a property owner furnishing a home may each be treated differently by customs, and a residence permit or a transfer-of-residence certificate from the consulate may be requested. These rules are set by Turkish Customs and they change, so confirm them with Turkish Customs or the consulate before shipping. We prepare the contents list and Saudi documents according to the regulations in force at the time of shipping.

Receiving in Turkey: To the Door or at the Port

With port-to-door service our Turkish agent handles discharge, clearance and delivery to your home, with assembly on request. With port-to-port service your container is collected at Mersin, Ambarli or Izmir by your own Turkish clearance agent, which suits customers whose family in Turkey can follow the formalities.

Residents moving to live in Turkey after years in Madinah ship their whole homes in a dedicated container.
