Shipping company from Riyadh to Morocco: why your shipment goes through Jeddah

Riyadh lies in the centre of the Arabian Peninsula and Morocco at the far west of Africa, thousands of kilometres apart. So many of our Riyadh customers ask which route to take. The answer is that household furniture, cars and goods go to Morocco by sea, because the land route crosses several countries with different procedures and takes longer, while a sea container is closed at your Riyadh door and not opened until the arrival port in Morocco. Your belongings travel in two stages: a land leg from Riyadh to the port, and a sea leg from the port to Morocco.

King Abdulaziz Port in Dammam may look like the natural choice, as it is only about 400 km from Riyadh. But ships from Dammam leave the Arabian Gulf and sail around the whole peninsula, through the Arabian Sea, Bab el-Mandeb and the Red Sea, before reaching the Suez Canal and continuing to the Mediterranean and Morocco. Jeddah Islamic Port sits directly on the Red Sea, and ships from it head straight north to Suez. So the truck that covers about 950 km from Riyadh to Jeddah saves your container days at sea, which makes Jeddah the preferred port for most Riyadh shipments to Morocco. We use Dammam when its sailing schedule suits your date, or for commercial goods already stored in the Eastern Province.

Either way, none of the road is your concern: the truck carries the sealed container from your Riyadh door to the port gate, we complete export formalities through Fasah, follow the loading onto the ship and send you the container number.

Sea or air from Riyadh?

Riyadh customers heading to Morocco are mostly of three kinds. A Moroccan family ending its residence and moving its home ships by sea, in a full or shared container. A student or employee sending suitcases and boxes to family ships by air from King Khalid Airport. A Riyadh trader sending goods to Casablanca or Tangier uses sea for volume and air for samples. The rule we explain to everyone is that air freight is charged on actual or volumetric weight, whichever is higher, with volumetric weight equal to length × width × height in centimetres ÷ 6000. That makes flying a large, light piece of furniture expensive, while a container is priced by cubic metre.

Comparison Sea via Jeddah port Air from King Khalid Land

Why Riyadh residents choose Al Saif for Morocco

The hardest part of shipping from Riyadh is the distance between home and port, which is a long journey in itself that needs the right truck and coordination with the ship’s schedule. We take care of that distance completely, and of everything after it:

  • A packing team in Riyadh: at your home in Al Malqa, Al Narjis, Al Yasmin, Al Suwaidi, Al Olaya, Al Rawdah, Al Naseem or any other district.
  • A container at your door: loaded and sealed in front of you, so your furniture is not reloaded at the port.
  • Coordinated trucking to Jeddah: we time the truck to reach the port before the vessel’s booking cut-off.
  • The right Moroccan port: Casablanca for the centre, Tanger Med for the north and Agadir for the south.
  • Delivery across Morocco: port to door with assembly on request, or port to port with your own agent.
  • An itemised quote: trucking from Riyadh, sea freight, destination port charges, clearance and delivery.
  • Optional insurance: insurance can be added for valuable items on request.
  • One number to follow up: 0555915287 from packing day to delivery day.

Riyadh has a large Moroccan community of teachers, doctors, nurses, engineers and people working in companies and hotels, and many have lived in the capital for years and built full homes. Riyadh also has Saudis who own homes in Tangier and Marrakech, and companies opening branches in Casablanca. Each case needs its own approach, so we start by asking about volume, destination city and timing, then suggest the right container.

Shipping prices from Riyadh to Morocco

The prices below are starting prices that include collection from your Riyadh home. The final price is set after the volume is estimated and the arrival port and Moroccan city are known. Destination port charges, inland delivery in Morocco and customs clearance are set line by line in the itemised quote.

Service from Riyadh Starts from Notes
Air freight per kg SAR 18 Actual or volumetric weight, whichever is higher (L × W × H ÷ 6000)
Air box, 20–30 kg SAR 190 From King Khalid Airport to Casablanca
One room in a shared container SAR 560 Including dismantling and packing in Riyadh
Full home SAR 4,600 An apartment with its furniture and appliances
20 ft container SAR 5,600 Two- or three-bedroom apartment
40 ft container SAR 7,500 For Riyadh villas and large homes
Commercial cargo per CBM SAR 790 From Al Sulay warehouses and the industrial cities
Sedan SAR 1,900 RoRo or shared container
SUV in its own 20 ft container SAR 5,600 Full protection

What raises or lowers the price from Riyadh?

After volume, the factor specific to Riyadh is the distance to the port. The container needs a long land leg before it sails, and that leg is part of the cost, but the prices in the table already include it, so you do not need to work it out yourself. Next come the arrival port and delivery city in Morocco: a home in Casablanca or Mohammedia is close to the port, while one in Fes or Oujda needs a longer inland run. The floor of your Riyadh home and whether it has a lift also matter, as do narrow lanes in Morocco’s old medinas, and the type of service: full dismantling, packing and assembly, or cartons you prepare yourself.

How to save on shipping from Riyadh

  • Sell old appliances in Riyadh: the city’s second-hand market is active, and shipping an old appliance a long way can cost more than it is worth.
  • Share a container: if you have one or two rooms, a shared container charges only for your volume.
  • Combine the car with the furniture: one 40 ft container may take a car and an apartment’s furniture.
  • The cheapest way to send gifts: pack the family’s gifts into 20–30 kg air boxes.
  • Plan your move-out early: so you do not need storage if your lease ends before sailing.

Furniture moving from Riyadh to Morocco

Riyadh homes are usually spacious: separate majlis rooms for men and women, several bedrooms, large kitchens and an air conditioner in every room. So the move starts with an accurate volume estimate, either a visit from our Riyadh team or a video call where we go through every room. That tells us whether a 20 ft container is enough, whether you need a 40 ft, or whether your belongings fit a share of a container.

Packing a Riyadh home’s furniture before shipping to Morocco — Al Saif
Packing a Riyadh home’s furniture before shipping to Morocco — Al Saif

Your furniture’s journey from Riyadh to Morocco includes a land leg in summer heat and then weeks on the humid Red Sea and Mediterranean, and we pack with that in mind. Wood is wrapped in bubble wrap, then cardboard, then film; sofas and mattresses go into moisture-proof covers; appliances go into their own boxes or reinforced cartons with foam; and glass, mirrors and paintings go into separate crates.

Bedrooms and majlis seating

Riyadh bedrooms often have large, tall wardrobes. We take the wardrobe down to its panels, protect them with cardboard and corner guards, number them and tape bags of screws to each panel. Large Arabic majlis sets are wrapped piece by piece and loaded on top so that nothing heavy rests on them. Many Moroccan families in Riyadh take their majlis home, as it suits spacious Moroccan salons.

Kitchens, including IKEA kitchens

Many modern Riyadh apartments have IKEA or ready-made kitchens. We photograph them before dismantling, number the units, keep each unit’s hinges and screws in its own bag and protect worktops between reinforced boards. In Morocco the delivery team reassembles them on request. For kitchens built to measure for a Riyadh home, we suggest comparing their dimensions with your kitchen in Morocco before dismantling, so you do not ship something that will not fit.

Appliances and air conditioners

Split and window air conditioners are common in Riyadh homes, and a technician removes them, recovers the gas and protects the pipes. Bear in mind that many Moroccan cities have a milder climate than Riyadh, so you may not need every unit there, and it can be better value to ship some and sell the rest. Fridges are switched off and dried a day ahead, washing machine drums are locked, and televisions go into dedicated cartons.

Antiques and office furniture

For chandeliers, antiques, rugs and paintings we build wooden crates to size, and insurance can be added for valuable items on request. Many Riyadh companies move staff or equipment to Morocco or open an office in Casablanca; we dismantle desks, chairs and cabinets, number them by department, pack computers and printers carefully and set them up in the new office.

Moroccans in Riyadh: final return, students and gifts

Many Moroccans spend years in the capital and then decide to return to Morocco for good. That decision brings questions: what should I ship, which documents do I need, and is the furniture exempt from duties? In general, Moroccan Customs gives those returning for good facilities on their personal effects and used furniture, but the conditions and documents are set by Moroccan Customs and change over time. Confirm them with Moroccan Customs or the Embassy of the Kingdom of Morocco in Riyadh before shipping; we prepare the detailed contents list that is usually requested.

Our advice for anyone returning for good from Riyadh: start well before your final exit, decide what to ship, sell what you do not need and book packing a few days before handing over the apartment. If you fly before the sailing date, we collect the furniture, keep it in a closed warehouse in Riyadh, ship it on schedule, and you follow up from Morocco on the same number.

Riyadh’s universities host Moroccan students, and on graduation or holidays a student needs to ship books, clothes and devices. We send these by air in 20–30 kg boxes from King Khalid Airport, or by sea in a shared container if there is a lot. In Ramadan and at Eid, Moroccans in Riyadh send gifts home: dates from Qassim and Al Kharj, perfume and oud, clothes and small appliances. We gather them into air boxes and deliver them in Moroccan cities, noting that large quantities of a single item may be treated as commercial goods.

Trucking the container from Riyadh to Jeddah Islamic Port

After loading and sealing at your door, the truck heads west on the highway towards Taif, then Makkah and Jeddah, a trip of one or two days depending on the load and port entry times. The container stays sealed throughout and is only opened for inspection at the port if required. We schedule loading in Riyadh so the container reaches the port before the vessel’s booking cut-off, so it does not wait long.

If your belongings are less than a full container, we take them in a closed truck to our warehouse near Jeddah port, where they are loaded into the shared container for Morocco after every piece is marked with your name and shipment number. You pay only for your volume, not for a full container.

Sea freight from Riyadh to Morocco

Sea freight is the core service for Riyadh customers heading to Morocco. You have two options: a full container (FCL), 20 ft or 40 ft, for you alone, loaded and sealed at your door, or a shared container (LCL), where you pay for your volume. A 20 ft container holds roughly a two- or three-bedroom apartment, and a 40 ft takes a Riyadh villa or an apartment plus a car.

From Jeddah Islamic Port the ship sails north up the Red Sea, crosses the Suez Canal and travels west across the Mediterranean to Tanger Med on the Strait of Gibraltar, or continues to Casablanca on the Atlantic. For Souss and the south it can arrive at Agadir. We choose the arrival port according to the city you will live in, because that shortens inland transport in Morocco.

From Riyadh to Suggested arrival port Approximate time
Casablanca and Mohammedia Casablanca About 18–25 days at sea after reaching Jeddah
Rabat, Salé and Temara Casablanca About 18–25 days, then about 90 km by road
Kenitra Casablanca or Tanger Med Depending on the sailing schedule
Marrakech Casablanca About 18–25 days, then about 240 km by road
Fes and Meknes Casablanca or Tanger Med Inland trucking
Tangier and Tetouan Tanger Med Close to the port
Oujda Tanger Med or Casablanca Longer inland run
Agadir Agadir or Casablanca Set in the quote

Add one to two days for trucking from Riyadh to Jeddah, the days for export formalities and loading, then clearance and delivery in Morocco. All of these times are approximate and depend on shipping line schedules.

Air freight from Riyadh to Morocco

From King Khalid International Airport in north Riyadh we fly shipments to Mohammed V International Airport in Casablanca, Morocco’s main airport, and to Marrakech Menara and Rabat-Salé airports. Transit is 2–5 days depending on flights and clearance. We collect from your home or office in any district, weigh and measure the shipment in front of you and send you the air waybill number.

Prices start from SAR 18 per kg on actual or volumetric weight, whichever is higher, and from SAR 190 per 20–30 kg box. Air freight suits official documents, suitcases, gifts, small devices, traders’ samples and urgent spare parts. We do not recommend it for furniture, because the volumetric weight of large pieces makes it far more costly than sea.

Car shipping from Riyadh to Morocco

We collect the car from your Riyadh home and take it on a car carrier to Jeddah port, where it ships in one of two ways. The first is RoRo: the car is driven onto the ship and secured, and it is not covered in this method; it starts from SAR 1,900 for a sedan. The second is inside a container: shared with another car, or in its own 20 ft container from SAR 5,600 for an SUV, protecting the car from dust and humidity. You can also combine the car with your furniture in a 40 ft container.

Car shipping documents from Riyadh

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

The conditions for bringing a car into Morocco, including its age, specifications, duties and whether it counts among a returning resident’s belongings, are set by Moroccan Customs and change, so confirm them with Moroccan Customs or the embassy before shipping. We photograph the car from every side before loading and send you the photos.

Commercial cargo from Riyadh to Morocco

Riyadh is a major trading hub, and its warehouses in Al Sulay, the Second and Third Industrial Cities and along the Al Kharj road serve traders exporting to Morocco: dates, perfume and oud, clothing and abayas, permitted foodstuffs, appliances and spare parts. We ship full loads in a container stuffed at your warehouse, and part loads by cubic metre in a shared container from SAR 790 per CBM.

Required documents: commercial registration, commercial invoice, packing list and certificate of origin. The importer in Morocco needs a clearance agent, and some goods may need certificates or special permits according to the regulations in force at the time of shipping.

Customs and clearance in Morocco

In Riyadh the shipment is exported through Fasah with your authorisation. In Morocco it goes through inspection and clearance at the arrival port. The exemption rules for returning residents’ belongings and for car imports are set by Moroccan Customs and change, so we do not quote figures or conditions that may have shifted; please confirm them before shipping. All procedures follow the regulations in force at the time of shipping.

Furniture moving documents from Riyadh

  • ID or iqama.
  • Passport.
  • Contents list.
  • Fasah authorisation.
  • Consignee details in Morocco: name, national ID card or passport number, address and phone.

Port to door or collection at the port?

With port to door, our agent handles clearance in Casablanca or Tanger Med, then we take the furniture to your home and assemble it on request. With port to port, we deliver the container to the port and the consignee collects it through a local clearance agent of their choice. The second suits those with relatives in Morocco who can follow the formalities; the first suits anyone who wants to arrive to a ready home. Either way, we send the documents and the expected arrival date early.

Moroccan cities we deliver to from Riyadh

We deliver to every district of Casablanca, plus Mohammedia and Bouskoura; to Rabat, Salé and Temara; to Kenitra; to Marrakech‘s newer districts, with special arrangements for the medina; to Fes and Meknes; to Tangier and Tetouan, close to Tanger Med; to Oujda and the east; and to Agadir and Souss. The inland cost from the port to your city is set in the quote.

Prohibited items and packing

  • Flammable materials.
  • Gas cylinders.
  • Loose batteries.
  • Medicines without a prescription.
  • Plants and seeds without a permit.

We mark every carton with its room and contents and a number matching the contents list, putting heavy items in small cartons and light ones in large cartons. This makes customs inspection in Morocco easier and helps you settle into the new home.

Parcels, suitcases and e-commerce from Riyadh

If you only want to send a suitcase, a box or documents, we collect from your Riyadh home and fly it to Casablanca, Marrakech or Rabat. For Riyadh online stores selling to Morocco, we consolidate orders and ship regularly, by air for urgent orders and by sea in a shared container for stock.

Shipping from Morocco to Riyadh

We also ship from Morocco to Riyadh: furniture for Moroccans coming to work in the capital, belongings of Saudis returning from Morocco, and Moroccan goods such as argan oil, rugs, ceramics, leather and kaftans. The container is loaded in Casablanca or Tangier, sails to Jeddah or Dammam, is cleared according to the regulations in force at the time of shipping, and is then trucked to your Riyadh home or warehouse.

When to ship from Riyadh to Morocco

Demand from Riyadh rises before summer when Moroccan families travel, at the end of the school year and of contracts, and before Ramadan and Eid. Book early in these periods. Autumn and winter offer more flexible dates. In the Riyadh summer we start loading early in the morning to protect the furniture and the crew from the heat.
