Shipping company from Saudi Arabia to Morocco: how your shipment gets there

The distance between the Kingdom and Morocco is long. Morocco sits at the far west of North Africa on the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, and the land route to it crosses several countries, each with its own procedures. That is why the practical route for household furniture, cars and commercial goods from Saudi Arabia to Morocco is the sea, while air freight serves parcels, documents, suitcases and urgent shipments. A sea container is closed and sealed once at your door and is only opened at the Moroccan port for customs inspection, so your furniture is not loaded and unloaded again and again along the way.

The journey starts with a land leg inside the Kingdom, from your city to Jeddah Islamic Port on the Red Sea. Then comes the sea leg: the ship heads north up the Red Sea to the Suez Canal, crosses into the Mediterranean and sails west to the Strait of Gibraltar, reaching Tanger Med in northern Morocco or continuing to Casablanca on the Atlantic. At the Moroccan port a clearance agent handles customs, and a truck then carries the furniture to your home in Casablanca, Rabat, Marrakech, Fes or any other city.

King Abdulaziz Port in Dammam is on the Arabian Gulf, and ships from it go around the Arabian Peninsula through the Arabian Sea, Bab el-Mandeb and the Red Sea before reaching Suez, so the voyage from there is usually longer. That is why we prefer Jeddah for most Morocco shipments, even from the Eastern Province, and use Dammam when its sailing schedule suits your date or when the cargo is commercial stock already in Eastern Province warehouses.

Sea, air or land?

The question Moroccan customers in the Kingdom ask most is whether to ship by sea or by air. The answer depends on what you are sending. Air freight is charged on actual weight or volumetric weight, whichever is higher, and volumetric weight is length × width × height in centimetres divided by 6000. A sofa or wardrobe takes up a lot of space, so flying it becomes very expensive, while a sea container is priced by cubic metre at a far lower rate. So furniture and cars go by sea, and suitcases, clothes, gifts and documents go by air.

Why customers across the Kingdom choose Al Saif for Morocco

Shipping to Morocco is not a short trip, and customers need one company that takes the shipment from their door in the Kingdom to their door in Morocco and explains every step before they pay. That is what we offer:

  • Collection from every city: teams in Riyadh, Jeddah, Makkah, Madinah and Dammam, and service to Al Ahsa, Qassim, Tabuk, Khamis Mushait, Abha, Jazan and Taif.
  • Packing materials made for the sea: heavy-duty cartons, bubble wrap, moisture-proof film and wooden crates for delicate pieces.
  • A container loaded at your door: sealed in front of you, then trucked to the port.
  • The right arrival port: Casablanca for central Morocco, 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: inland transport, 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.

Many of our customers are Moroccans who have lived in the Kingdom for years and have whole homes of furniture and appliances that they want to move as they are to their homes in Casablanca, Fes or Marrakech. Others are Saudis who own homes in Morocco, or traders who import and export between the two countries. Each needs a different service, so we always start by asking about volume, destination city and timing before we suggest anything.

Shipping prices from Saudi Arabia to Morocco

The prices below are starting prices that include collection from your city. 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.

What sets the cost of shipping to Morocco

The first factor is volume: a shared container is charged by cubic metre, while a full container has a fixed price however full it is. Next is the city you ship from, because the truck run to Jeddah port from Riyadh, Dammam or Tabuk is longer than from Makkah or Jeddah itself. Then come the arrival port and the delivery city: a home in Casablanca is close to the port, while one in Oujda or Errachidia needs a longer inland run. On top of that is the type of service: full dismantling, packing and assembly, or cartons you pack yourself; storage before or after shipping; and whether you add insurance for valuable items.

One factor some customers overlook is the season. Before summer, demand for containers to Morocco rises because many families travel home for the holidays, and space in shared containers can get tight, so booking early keeps your date.

How to save on shipping to Morocco

  • Leave behind the heaviest, lowest-value items: shipping an old fridge or washing machine can cost more than buying a new one in Morocco.
  • 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 can take a car and an apartment’s furniture.
  • The cheapest way to send clothes and gifts: pack them into 20–30 kg boxes rather than many small parcels.
  • Book early: especially before summer, Ramadan and Eid.
  • Prepare documents in advance: so the container is not held at the port and does not run up waiting charges.

Furniture moving from Saudi Arabia to Morocco

Moving a home to Morocco starts with an accurate volume estimate, either through a visit from our team or a video call where we go through the rooms one by one. We then suggest the right option: one or two rooms in a shared container, an apartment in a 20 ft container or a villa in a 40 ft container. We set the packing day, and the team arrives with materials and tools to dismantle, wrap and number the furniture and write the contents list needed for clearance in Morocco.

The voyage to Morocco is one of the longer sea journeys from the Kingdom, passing through summer heat inland and the humidity of the Red Sea and the Mediterranean, so we take more care over packing than on short trips. Wood is wrapped in bubble wrap, then cardboard, then film; fabrics and mattresses go into moisture-proof covers; electronics go into their original boxes or reinforced cartons with foam; and glass and mirrors go into separate crates with corner guards.

Bedrooms and majlis seating

Large wardrobes are taken down to their panels, the panels and doors are numbered, and screws and hinges go into labelled bags taped to the panel itself. Beds are dismantled and mattresses go into protective bags. Arabic majlis seating and large sofas are wrapped in bubble wrap and blankets and loaded so that nothing heavy rests on them. Many Moroccan families take home the majlis they bought in the Kingdom, so we give it extra attention, because its fabric suffers from humidity if it is not well wrapped.

Kitchens, including IKEA kitchens

IKEA and ready-made kitchens are easy to take down and rebuild if they are dismantled properly. We photograph the kitchen first, number each unit, keep its hinges and screws with it, and protect marble or wooden worktops between reinforced boards. In Morocco the delivery team reassembles the kitchen on request, or you can hand it to a local carpenter with the numbered photos. For kitchens built to measure for a particular home, decide before dismantling whether they will fit your home in Morocco; if not, it may be better value to ship only the appliances.

Appliances and air conditioners

Fridges are switched off a day before and dried completely, washing machine drums are locked with transit bolts, and televisions go into dedicated cartons. Split air conditioners are removed by a technician who recovers the gas and protects the pipes, and window units are wrapped whole. Saudi appliances generally run on the same voltage used in Morocco, but check the plugs, as you may need simple adapters.

Antiques, valuables and office furniture

For chandeliers, antiques, valuable rugs and paintings we build wooden crates to size, and insurance can be added for valuable items on request. For companies moving their offices or opening a branch in Casablanca or Tangier, we dismantle desks, chairs and cabinets, number them by department, pack computers, printers and servers carefully, and set them up in the new office in the same order.

Moroccan residents in the Kingdom: final return, students and gifts

Returning to Morocco for good after years of work in the Kingdom is a big decision, and it comes with many questions: what to take, what to sell, and whether your belongings will be exempt from duties. In general, Moroccan Customs gives Moroccans returning permanently from abroad facilities on their personal effects and used furniture, but the conditions and documents for these facilities are set by Moroccan Customs and change over time. Please confirm them with Moroccan Customs or the Moroccan consulate in Riyadh or Jeddah before shipping. We prepare the detailed contents list you need and connect you with a clearance agent at the arrival port.

We advise returning residents to start planning well before their contract ends or their final exit: decide what to ship, sell what you no longer need, and book packing a few days before handing over your home so you do not need storage. If you fly before the sailing date, we can collect the furniture and keep it in a closed warehouse until it ships, and you can follow the shipment from Morocco on the same number.

For Moroccan students who have finished their studies at Saudi universities, or who are going home for the holidays, we ship books, clothes and devices by air in 20–30 kg boxes, or by sea in a shared container if there is a lot. In Ramadan and at Eid many Moroccans in the Kingdom send gifts to their families: clothes, perfume, dates and small appliances. We gather these into air boxes and deliver them in the Moroccan city, with a reminder that large quantities of a single item may be treated as commercial goods by customs.

Trucking the container from your city to Jeddah Islamic Port

After loading and sealing at your door, the truck takes the container to Jeddah Islamic Port. From Riyadh the road is about 950 km, from Dammam about 1,350 km, from Madinah about 420 km, from Makkah about 80 km, from Qassim about 1,000 km, from Tabuk about 1,050 km and from Khamis Mushait about 650 km. The container stays sealed throughout and is only opened for inspection at the port if required.

If your belongings are less than a full container, we take them in a closed truck to our warehouse in Jeddah, where they are loaded into a shared container with other shipments for Morocco, after every piece is marked with your name and shipment number. This saves you a lot, because you pay only for your own volume.

Saudi city Approx. distance to Jeddah port Sea transit from Jeddah to Morocco
Jeddah Within the city About 18–25 days
Makkah About 80 km About 18–25 days
Madinah About 420 km About 18–25 days
Khamis Mushait and Abha About 650 km About 18–25 days
Riyadh About 950 km About 18–25 days
Qassim About 1,000 km About 18–25 days
Tabuk About 1,050 km About 18–25 days
Dammam and Al Ahsa About 1,300–1,350 km, or sailing from Dammam port Usually longer from Dammam, as the ship goes around the peninsula

Add one to two days for the land leg inside the Kingdom, the days needed for export formalities and loading, and then clearance and delivery in Morocco. All of these times are approximate and depend on shipping line schedules and port congestion.

Sea freight from Saudi Arabia to Morocco

Sea freight is our core service for 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 only for your volume. A full container suits apartments, villas and large cargo, and saves time because it does not wait to be filled. A shared container suits one or two rooms, students and small commercial quantities, and sometimes needs a few extra days to fill.

From Jeddah the ship sails north up the Red Sea, crosses the Suez Canal into the Mediterranean and heads west along the African coast to Tanger Med, a major port on the Strait of Gibraltar serving northern Morocco. From there, or directly, containers reach Casablanca, the main commercial port on the Atlantic, serving Casablanca, Rabat, Marrakech and central Morocco. For southern cities such as Agadir, Taroudant and Tiznit the container can arrive at Agadir port. We choose the arrival port according to the city you will live in, because that shortens inland transport in Morocco and its cost.

20 ft or 40 ft container?

A 20 ft container holds roughly the furniture of a two- or three-bedroom apartment with its appliances, while a 40 ft container takes a villa or large house, or an apartment plus a car. The price difference between them is small compared with the difference in space, so if your furniture is a little over a 20 ft load, a 40 ft is usually better value than a 20 ft plus an extra shared shipment.

Air freight from Saudi Arabia to Morocco

Air freight serves what you need quickly: documents, parcels, excess luggage, gifts, commercial samples and urgent spare parts. We collect from your home or office, weigh and measure the shipment, and fly it from King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah, King Fahd International Airport in Dammam or your city airport to Mohammed V International Airport in Casablanca, Morocco’s main airport, or to Marrakech Menara and Rabat-Salé. Transit is 2–5 days depending on flights and clearance.

Prices start from SAR 18 per kg on actual or volumetric weight, whichever is higher, and from SAR 190 per 20–30 kg box. To avoid surprises from volumetric weight, choose boxes of a sensible size and fill them well; a large box that is half empty is charged on its size, not its weight.

Car shipping from Saudi Arabia to Morocco

We ship cars to Morocco in two ways. The first is RoRo, where the car is driven onto the ship and secured on deck; it is not covered in this method, which suits ordinary cars and starts from SAR 1,900 for a sedan. The second is inside a container, either shared with another car or in its own 20 ft container from SAR 5,600 for an SUV, which gives full protection from dust and humidity and can allow some belongings to travel with the car where regulations permit.

Car shipping documents

  • 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, such as its age, specifications, duties and whether it counts as part of a returning resident’s belongings, are set by Moroccan Customs and change over time. Confirm them with Moroccan Customs or the consulate before shipping, so the car does not arrive to charges you had not planned for. We bring the fuel down to a suitable level and photograph the car from every side before shipping, and send you the photos.

Commercial cargo from Saudi Arabia to Morocco

For traders we ship goods by full container (FCL) or by cubic metre in a shared container (LCL) from SAR 790 per CBM. We collect from warehouses in Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam and the industrial cities, and ship permitted foodstuffs, dates, perfume, clothing, appliances, building materials, spare parts and more. For full loads we stuff the container at your warehouse; for part loads we consolidate the goods at our Jeddah warehouse before loading.

Documents for commercial goods: commercial registration, commercial invoice, packing list and certificate of origin. The importer in Morocco needs a clearance agent to handle the formalities according to the regulations in force at the time of shipping, and some goods may need conformity certificates or special permits, so ask about them before shipping.

Customs, exemptions and clearance in Morocco

On the Saudi side, the shipment is exported through the Fasah platform and needs your authorisation for us to handle it. On the Moroccan side, it goes through inspection and clearance at the arrival port. Two points matter: first, the exemption rules for Moroccans returning for good and the rules for importing cars are set by Moroccan Customs and change, so we do not quote figures or conditions that may have changed; please confirm them with Moroccan Customs or the consulate before shipping. Second, all procedures follow the regulations in force at the time of shipping.

Furniture moving documents

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

Port to door or port to port?

With port to door, our agent in Morocco handles clearance, then a truck carries the furniture to your home, where it is unloaded and assembled on request. This suits anyone who does not know port procedures or does not want the hassle. With port to port, we deliver the container to Casablanca, Tanger Med or Agadir, and the consignee collects it through a local clearance agent of their choice. This costs less in the part you pay us, but you need someone in Morocco to follow it up.

Either way, we send you the shipping documents, the expected arrival date and the container details, so your agent is ready before it arrives and it is not held at the port.

Moroccan cities we deliver to

We deliver to almost every city in Morocco, choosing the arrival port according to the city so that inland transport is as short as possible. These are the most requested:

Moroccan city Suggested arrival port Delivery notes
Casablanca Casablanca Delivery within the city after clearance
Rabat and Salé Casablanca About 90 km from the port
Kenitra Casablanca or Tanger Med Depending on the sailing schedule
Marrakech Casablanca About 240 km from the port
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 to the east
Agadir Agadir or Casablanca For Souss and the south

In Casablanca we deliver to every district, from Ain Chock and Maarif to Sidi Moumen, Bouskoura and Mohammedia. In Rabat, Salé and Temara we deliver to apartments and villas with assembly. In Marrakech we deliver to homes in Gueliz and the newer districts, and arrange in advance for homes inside the medina, where narrow lanes mean belongings are moved in smaller vehicles. In Fes and Meknes we deliver by truck from the port. In Tangier and Tetouan the container is close to Tanger Med, so delivery after clearance is quick. In Oujda and the east, and in Agadir and the south, we arrange the inland leg and set it in the quote.

Prohibited items and packing

Some items cannot be shipped, or need permits, and you should know them before packing day:

  • Flammable materials such as petrol, alcohol and flammable paints.
  • Gas cylinders, even empty ones.
  • Loose batteries; batteries inside devices are handled according to the shipping method.
  • Medicines without a prescription.
  • Plants and seeds without a permit.

Our packing rule is simple: every carton is marked with its room and contents and a number that matches the contents list. This makes customs inspection in Morocco easier and helps you unpack in the new home. Heavy items such as books go in small cartons, light items such as pillows in large ones, and permitted liquids are sealed and protected against leaks.

Parcels, suitcases and e-commerce

Not every customer needs a container. Many want to send a suitcase of clothes, a box of gifts, small devices or official papers. We fly these by the kilo or in 20–30 kg boxes and deliver them in the Moroccan city. For online stores in the Kingdom selling to Morocco, such as perfume, oud, clothing and Saudi products, we consolidate orders and ship regularly, by air for urgent orders or by sea in a shared container for stock, with invoices and packing lists prepared for every shipment.

  8. Clearance and delivery: in Morocco, with assembly on request.

Tracking your shipment

After sailing we send you the container number and the shipping line’s name so you can follow the vessel, and we tell you the expected arrival date and any schedule change. For air freight we send you the air waybill number. Either way you follow up with us on one number: 0555915287.

Storage before or after shipping

If you must hand over your home before the sailing date, or your home in Morocco is not ready yet, we store the furniture in a closed warehouse in the Kingdom until dispatch, or arrange storage in Morocco after arrival, priced by volume and duration.

Shipping from Morocco to Saudi Arabia

We also ship the other way, from Morocco to the Kingdom: furniture for Moroccans coming to work in the Kingdom, belongings of Saudis returning from living in Morocco, and Moroccan goods imported by traders, such as argan oil, Moroccan rugs, ceramics, leather, kaftans and permitted spices. 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 home or warehouse in any Saudi city.

When to ship to Morocco

Demand rises before summer, when Moroccan families prepare to travel, before Ramadan and Eid, and at the end of contracts and the school year. In these periods, book well ahead of your date. Autumn and winter offer more flexible dates and often more space in shared containers. In the Saudi summer we start loading early in the morning and protect appliances and fabrics from the heat.
