Shipping from Makkah to Qatar: the road through Taif and Riyadh
Makkah shipments do not head west to Jeddah, as some people assume. They climb east to Taif and take the Taif–Riyadh highway across Najd, past Dhalm and Al Quwayiyah, into the capital. From Riyadh the truck continues on the Khurais road to Hofuf, then to the Salwa border, entering Qatar at Abu Samra. This puts Doha about 1,450 km away, slightly closer than from Jeddah.
Because the route passes large cities with regular trips to Qatar, Makkah shipments join those trips in Riyadh or Al Ahsa, so a small shipment does not wait long for a truck to fill. The coordinator tells you the next departure when you book, and a dedicated truck leaves on the day you choose.

Collection across Makkah
Al Saif collects from every Makkah district: Al Aziziyah, Al Naseem, Al Awali, Al Sharaya, Al Zaher, Al Rusaifah, Al Kakiyah, Al Otaibiyah, Al Shawqiyah, Batha Quraish, Wali Al Ahd, Al Sabhani and Al Khalidiyah. Many older Makkah buildings sit on hillsides with long staircases and no lift, so the crew brings extra hands or a crane, and this is shown in the quote in advance. Collection also covers nearby Al Jumum, Bahrah and Al Kamil.
What is shipped from Makkah to Qatar

- Sedans, SUVs and luxury cars.
- Boxes, suitcases and personal parcels.

Shipping prices from Makkah to Qatar
Prices from Makkah start at the same figures as every other Saudi city. Because Makkah is one of the cities far from the Qatari border, the price can rise with distance, and the itemised quote confirms the final price before loading.
| Shipment from Makkah | Starts from |
|---|---|
| Box or bag up to 30 kg | SAR 120 |
| Boxes per kg (shared road) | SAR 7.5 |
| One room with dismantling and packing (shared load) | SAR 880 |
| 2–3 bedroom apartment (dedicated dyna) | SAR 1,700 |
| Large villa (trailer) | SAR 7,900 |
| Sedan (shared open carrier) | SAR 1,100 |
| SUV | SAR 1,400 |
| Enclosed carrier | SAR 1,850 |
| Commercial goods per m³ or per tonne | SAR 420 |
| Dedicated truck (dyna / lorry) | SAR 1,700 |
| Air freight per kg | SAR 46 |
An example from Al Awali
A family in Al Awali moves a three-bedroom apartment to Al Wakrah. On a dedicated dyna the price starts from SAR 1,700, covering dismantling, packing and loading; a crane is added if the building has a narrow staircase, and assembly in Qatar depends on the number of pieces. If the family were sending just one room and a few boxes, a shared load from SAR 880 per room would suit them better.
How to save when shipping from Makkah
- Use a shared load if you have one room or less.
- Sell heavy old pieces; the road is long and the cost follows volume.
- Combine boxes and furniture on one trip.
- Avoid booking during Makkah’s peak seasons, when truck movement is restricted.
Furniture moving from Makkah to Qatar
Options depend on the home: a shared load for one or two rooms from SAR 880, a dedicated dyna for an apartment from SAR 1,700, and a trailer for large villas in Al Awali and Al Sharaya from SAR 7,900. The crew dismantles in Makkah and reassembles in Qatar.

Dismantling and packing
The road from Makkah climbs to Taif and then descends into Najd, so the load faces more tilting and bends than on flat roads. The crew adds extra ratchet straps and fills gaps inside the truck. Mattresses and sofas are stretch-wrapped, wooden surfaces covered with blankets, glass protected with rigid cardboard and screws kept in numbered bags. Air conditioners are removed by a technician, and the fridge is emptied and dried a day ahead.
Qurans, books and rugs
Makkah homes often hold large collections of Qurans and books. They are packed into small boxes of no more than 15 kg so they do not split, with the Qurans carefully wrapped and placed at the top. Rugs are rolled tightly and covered with plastic to keep out dust.

Luxury furniture
Valuable pieces such as chandeliers, antiques and marble tables travel in made-to-measure wooden crates and are photographed before packing. Insurance can be added for valuable items on request.
Assembly in Qatar
The delivery team coordinates with the consignee a day ahead, unloads, checks against the list, reassembles rooms and the kitchen and distributes the boxes, whether in a Lusail tower or an Al Rayyan villa.
Car shipping from Makkah to Qatar
Shipping a car from Makkah to Qatar starts from SAR 1,100 for a sedan on a shared open carrier, SAR 1,400 for an SUV and SAR 1,850 on an enclosed carrier for luxury cars under our VIP service, arriving in about 5–6 days.

- Send the car details to 0555915287.
- Prepare the registration, owner’s ID and export plates or export certificate, plus a bank letter for a financed car.
- Empty the car and photograph it from all sides.
- It is collected, strapped onto the carrier and driven via Taif and Riyadh.
- It crosses Salwa and Abu Samra and is delivered in Qatar.
Commercial goods and online stores from Makkah
From the warehouses of Al Sharaya and the Al Lith road and the shops of Al Aziziyah, goods travel to Qatar as part loads per cubic metre or per tonne from SAR 420, or as a full load on a dedicated truck from SAR 1,700. These trips suit online stores selling rugs, prayer beads, perfume and clothing to customers in Qatar. Goods need a commercial registration, invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and a health certificate for food.
For large commercial containers, the cargo can be trucked to King Abdulaziz Port in Dammam and shipped by sea to Hamad Port. This is for commercial cargo only; furniture and cars go by road.
Boxes and bags from Makkah
A bag or box up to 30 kg starts from SAR 120, and heavier shipments are charged from SAR 7.5 per kg. They are collected from your home or hotel, stretch-wrapped and labelled with the consignee’s name and Qatari number. Perfume and oud are packed in sealed bottles wrapped in bubble wrap.
Air freight from Makkah to Qatar
Makkah has no international airport of its own, so urgent shipments are taken to King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah, about 100 km away, and flown to Hamad International Airport, arriving in 1–2 days door to door. Prices start from SAR 46 per kg on actual or volumetric weight, whichever is higher, with volumetric weight = L × W × H ÷ 6000. Example: a 45 × 35 × 30 cm box of books has a volumetric weight of about 7.9 kg; if it actually weighs 14 kg, it is charged at 14 kg.

Road, air and sea from Makkah
| Mode | Time | Suits |
|---|---|---|
| Road | 4–5 days | Furniture, cars, boxes and goods |
| Air via Jeddah | 1–2 days | Documents and light urgent parcels |
| Sea via Dammam | Per vessel schedule | Commercial containers to Hamad Port |
Salwa, Abu Samra and documents
After a long run across the Kingdom, the truck reaches Salwa, where Saudi export clearance is completed through the Fasah platform, then moves to Abu Samra for Qatari import clearance. The team prepares the paperwork before leaving Makkah, in line with the regulations in force at the time of shipping:
- Furniture: ID or iqama, passport, contents list, Fasah authorisation, Qatari consignee details (QID and mobile).
- Cars: registration, owner’s ID, export plates or certificate, bank letter if financed.
- Goods: commercial registration, invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, health certificate for food.
Prohibited: flammables, gas cylinders, loose batteries, medicines without a prescription, and plants and seeds without a permit.
Delivery across Qatar
Makkah shipments reach Doha and are delivered in districts such as Al Sadd, Al Muntazah, Old Airport, Al Dafna and Al Hilal, and the same day to Al Wakrah and Al Rayyan. Lusail, Al Khor and Mesaieed need about one more day, Dukhan, Al Shamal and Al Ruwais one or two days, and delivery also covers Umm Salal.

The right time to ship from Makkah
Makkah is crowded during Hajj and Ramadan, and truck movement is restricted in many districts, so it is wise to ship before these seasons or after them. Demand also rises at the end of the school year, so book two weeks ahead then.
