About shipping to the UAE
Home Safe ships from Saudi Arabia to the UAE, covering Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman and Ras Al Khaimah and other cities. We collect from Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, Makkah, Madinah and every other city in the Kingdom, and ship by land, sea and air according to the size of your shipment and how urgent it is, at competitive prices and with a written quote that shows what the price includes before you commit.
The service covers inspection and volume estimate, dismantling and professional multi-layer packing, loading and transport, preparing the documents and customs clearance at Jebel Ali Port and the Al Batha crossing, optional insurance on the value of the goods, temporary storage where needed, and then delivery to the address with reassembly. An update reaches you at every stage of the shipment until final receipt, so you are never left waiting without news.
We ship to the UAE whole-home furniture and appliances, personal effects and students’ boxes, commercial cargo and exhibition supplies, and heavy or delicate pieces that need wooden crates and special securing inside the container. Our busiest route, and from it we re-export many cars to Europe and Africa.

- Chargeable weight — the greater of actual and volumetric weight, and the basis of air freight.
- The nature of the goods — delicate pieces need packing or wooden crates.
- Additional services — dismantling and assembly, temporary storage, insurance, delivery to the floor.

Car shipping to the UAE
We ship vehicles to the UAE — RoRo or container
UAE is one of the destinations we move cars to regularly, through Jebel Ali Port and the Al Batha crossing. We recommend the most economical method for your car’s value and the arrival port, and prepare the entry documents before departure, not after the vehicle arrives.
- RoRo: The vehicle drives on by its own wheels — the most economical for used cars.
- Container: Secured with four straps and chocks under the tyres — more protective for luxury and classic cars.
- Triptyque: Temporary-entry procedures and release documents ready before shipping.
About this route
What sets shipping to the UAE apart
The nature of the route
Our shortest and busiest route. A shipment leaves Jeddah or Riyadh and arrives by road within days, which is why it suits anyone moving a home’s furniture or a shop’s goods who does not want to wait for the sea.
What its customs look at
The UAE is exacting about the description and value of goods, and asks for the invoice to match the actual contents. Free zones follow different procedures from the local market — tell us if delivery is inside a free zone.
What we ship there most
- A whole home’s furniture
- Commercial goods for shops
- Cars for re-export
- Project equipment and supplies
A tip from experience
Many of our customers buy cars from showrooms in Dubai and Sharjah, and we collect them straight from the showroom with a simple authorisation.
