Shipping company from Makkah to Kuwait: crossing the peninsula from west to east

Shipping from Makkah to Kuwait is a relatively long journey, because the truck crosses the Arabian Peninsula from the Red Sea coast to the head of the Gulf. That is why a clear, regular route matters to us. The truck collects your goods from your Makkah home, then heads north-east on the highways towards the Qassim region, on to Hafr Al Batin in the north-east of the Kingdom, and then to the Al Ruqi crossing, faced on the Kuwaiti side by the Al Salmi crossing. After Al Salmi the truck takes the road to Jahra and on to the other governorates.

Before the truck sets off, we file the export declaration electronically on the Fasah platform, so formalities at Al Ruqi are completed without a long wait. Kuwait’s General Administration of Customs at Al Salmi then handles clearance, inspects the load and matches it against the contents list. The truck makes regular rest stops along the way, because safety over 1,400 km matters more than saving a few hours.

Why Al Salmi and not Al Nuwaiseeb?

The Al Khafji – Al Nuwaiseeb crossing serves the east coast; reaching it from Makkah would mean driving to Riyadh, then Dammam, then north along the Gulf road — a much longer distance. The western route via Hafr Al Batin and Al Ruqi – Al Salmi is the shorter one for Makkah, Jeddah and Madinah shipments, and brings the truck into Kuwait on the Jahra side. Jahra and Farwaniya are therefore the nearest governorates after the crossing, followed by the Capital and Hawalli, then Mubarak Al Kabeer and Ahmadi in the south.

Who ships from Makkah to Kuwait?

Makkah is home to residents of many nationalities, many of whom have relatives or business in Kuwait. Among our customers we often see people finishing a job in Makkah and moving to work in Kuwait with their whole household; others send family belongings and gifts after Umrah or Hajj — rugs, copies of the Quran, perfumes, properly bottled Zamzam water and dates — as well as traders supplying clothes, abayas, incense and local products to Kuwaiti markets. Our services therefore span home moves, small parcels and commercial cargo.

Why choose Al Saif?

We know Makkah’s shipping challenges: busy districts, buildings that sometimes have no lift, narrow streets around the central area that large trucks cannot enter, and peak seasons such as Ramadan and Hajj. So when needed we send a small vehicle to carry goods from the home to a nearby consolidation point, schedule loading away from peak hours, and handle dismantling, packing, clearance and assembly, with message tracking and temporary storage on request — all with an itemised quote that shows what you pay for each line.

Furniture moving from Makkah to Kuwait

Long distances demand precise packing: the furniture will spend four days or more on the road and pass two crossings and a customs inspection. We start with a survey or photos, prepare a detailed contents list, then the crew dismantles, numbers and wraps each piece. Heavy items go at the bottom, light ones on top, and the load is strapped down so nothing shifts on the road.

Bedrooms and sofas

Beds, wardrobes and dressing tables are taken down into panels, with screws and hinges in numbered bags taped to the piece. Sofas are wrapped in film and then blankets; mirrors and glass in bubble wrap and heavy cardboard.

Kitchens, including IKEA kitchens

We remove kitchen cabinets carefully, protect worktops in wooden frames and disconnect built-in appliances. IKEA kitchens use a modular assembly system that needs experience, so we dismantle them unit by unit, number each one and reinstall them in Kuwait to fit the new kitchen.

Appliances and air conditioners

Fridges and washers are drained and the washer drum locked; ACs are removed after pumping down the refrigerant, with the pipes protected, and reinstalled in Kuwait. TVs travel in original cartons or padded crates.

Antiques and office furniture

Chandeliers, antiques, paintings and carved wooden pieces go into custom wooden crates, and insurance can be added for valuable items on request. Office and shop furniture is labelled by department so it is unloaded straight into place in Kuwait.

Commercial cargo from Makkah

We ship goods from Makkah’s shops and small factories in Al Kakiyah and the industrial area to Kuwait: clothing, abayas, incense, perfumes, packaged foods and supplies. We offer a partial load, priced per cubic metre or pallet and consolidated with other Kuwait-bound shipments, and a dedicated full truck leaving your warehouse directly.

Commercial cargo needs a commercial registration, commercial invoice, packing list and certificate of origin, plus a health certificate for food. We prepare the export declaration on Fasah and coordinate with the clearing agent at Al Salmi, according to the regulations in force at the time of shipping. Heavy equipment goes on a suitable flatbed once secured.

Car shipping from Makkah to Kuwait

Cars go from Makkah to Kuwait by road on dedicated carriers along the same western route. We collect the car from your home or the loading yard, record its condition with photos and the odometer reading, and secure it to the carrier with wheel straps. Because the trip is long, we recommend a hydraulic flatbed or enclosed carrier for luxury and classic cars, protecting them from dust and sun all the way.

Documents for the car

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

Customs, crossings and exemptions

Export from Saudi Arabia goes through the Fasah platform, and import into Kuwait is handled by the General Administration of Customs at Al Salmi. People moving to live in Kuwait may qualify for exemptions on personal effects and used furniture, according to the regulations in force at the time of shipping. That is why we write the contents list carefully, separating used items from new ones and gifts from commercial goods — mixing them delays clearance.

Furniture moving documents

• National ID or iqama, and passport.
• Detailed contents list.
• Fasah authorisation.
• Kuwaiti consignee’s details: civil ID, mobile, and address by area, block, street and house.

Air freight from Makkah to Kuwait International Airport

If your shipment cannot wait four days on the road, air freight is the answer: we collect from your Makkah home and hand it over at King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah, from where it flies to Kuwait International Airport in 1–2 days. It starts from SAR 46 per kg, charged on actual or volumetric weight, whichever is higher; volumetric weight = length × width × height in cm ÷ 6000. It suits documents, light gifts, samples and small spare parts.

Sea freight for commercial containers

For companies shipping full containers, sea freight can run from Jeddah Islamic Port, close to Makkah, to Shuwaikh Port or Shuaiba Port in Kuwait, or the container can be trucked to King Abdulaziz Port in Dammam and shipped from there, depending on shipping line schedules. This option is only for large, non-urgent cargo; furniture and cars go door to door by road.

Shipping prices from Makkah to Kuwait

We use the same starting prices for every Saudi city, but distance raises the final price. Makkah is one of the farther cities from Kuwait, so its final prices are usually above the starting figures; the itemised quote after the survey confirms the price line by line.

Cost factors

Volume or weight, shipment type, the need for dismantling, assembly or wooden crates, the delivery governorate in Kuwait, floor level and lift access at both ends, difficult access to some central Makkah districts, a shared load versus a dedicated truck, and extra storage or insurance.

How to lower the cost

The cheapest way to cover long distances is a shared load, because the truck’s cost is split between several customers. Book outside Ramadan, Hajj and holiday peaks, part with old furniture before the move instead of paying to ship it, pack small items in same-size cartons, and keep air shipments compact, since volumetric weight can raise the price.

Prohibited items and packing

We cannot accept flammables, gas cylinders, loose batteries, medicines without a prescription, or plants and seeds without a permit. Zamzam water travels in its official sealed containers, and incense and perfumes in tightly closed cartons away from fabrics. Label every carton with its contents and room, and keep jewellery and important documents with you.

Parcels, bags and online stores

We collect a parcel or bag from any Makkah district and deliver it to the recipient in Kuwait, from SAR 65 for a parcel up to 10 kg and SAR 140 for a box up to 30 kg. For Makkah online stores selling perfume, incense and abayas to Kuwaiti customers, we offer scheduled pick-ups, consolidate orders into one shipment and distribute them across the governorates.

Kuwaiti governorates we cover

• Jahra: Jahra, Saad Al Abdullah, Qasr, Oyoun, Naseem, Waha, Abdali.
• Farwaniya: Farwaniya, Khaitan, Jleeb Al Shuyoukh, Ardiya, Andalus, Riggae, Abdullah Al Mubarak.

Distance and time table

Steps to ship from Makkah to Kuwait

1. Call 0555915287 and send photos or a list of your items.

Shipment tracking

You receive a shipment number after loading, then WhatsApp updates when the truck leaves Makkah, passes Qassim, reaches Hafr Al Batin and Al Ruqi, and clears Al Salmi. The driver calls before arriving at your address.

Storage before or after shipping

If you leave Makkah before your Kuwait home is ready, we keep your furniture wrapped in a closed warehouse until you ask us to ship, or store it in Kuwait after arrival, priced by volume and duration.

Shipping from Kuwait to Makkah

We serve the reverse route from Kuwait to Makkah for families and residents moving there and for traders, with the same services through Al Salmi then Al Ruqi, including dismantling, packing, clearance and assembly.

When is shipping most suitable?

The milder months from autumn to spring are kinder to appliances and wooden furniture, since the road is long and summer heat is high. During Ramadan and Hajj, Makkah is crowded and truck access to some districts is harder, so book well before or after.
