Who ships from Mecca to the UAE, and what do they ship?

Makkah is not a city of trade and industry like Jeddah and Riyadh, and its shipments reflect that. Three kinds of people ship from it most: a resident who has finished work and is moving to the UAE with his family, an Emirati Umrah or Hajj pilgrim sending what exceeds the airline allowance, and a trader supplying from Makkah’s markets what the Gulf asks for, such as prayer beads, prayer rugs, dates and perfumes. Each type has a method that suits it:

Shipper	What they ship	Most suitable method
A family moving to the UAE	A full home’s furniture and appliances	Full truck with dismantling and assembly
A relocating employee	A bedroom, cartons and suitcases	Shared load
An Umrah or Hajj pilgrim	Suitcases, gifts and excess luggage	By the suitcase or carton by land, or air for urgent items
A trader	Prayer beads, rugs, dates, perfumes and ihram clothing	By the pallet or the kilogram, with an invoice
A car owner	An ordinary or luxury car	Car carrier
Companies, official bodies and embassies	Office furniture, equipment and files	A dedicated truck on a set date

Route and transit time from Mecca to the UAE

The road crosses the Kingdom from its west to its far east. The truck climbs from Makkah to Taif, then takes the Riyadh motorway for about 870 km. From Riyadh it heads east to Al-Ahsa and then south-east to the Batha border post, about 500 km. After the Emirati Ghuwaifat post, 350 km remain to Abu Dhabi and 480 km to Dubai. That makes it the longest Gulf route from Makkah after Oman.

Stage	Approximate distance	Usual time
Dismantling, packing and loading in Makkah	—	A day
Makkah → Riyadh	About 870 km via Taif	A day
Riyadh → Batha	About 500 km via Al-Ahsa	6–8 hours
Batha and Ghuwaifat	—	Hours to a day
Ghuwaifat → Abu Dhabi and Dubai	350–480 km	4–6 hours
Unloading and assembly	—	Half a day to a day

Method	Door-to-door time	Suits
Full truck	4–6 days	A full home’s furniture and goods
Shared load	6–10 days	A room, cartons and a few pallets
Car carrier	4–6 days	Cars
Suitcases and cartons by land	6–10 days	Pilgrims’ luggage and gifts
Air via Jeddah airport	One to two days	Documents and urgent parcels

What lengthens the time?

• Hajj and Ramadan: truck movement inside Makkah is restricted in both seasons, so loading is delayed unless booked early.
• Waiting for consolidation: a shared load from Makkah joins the Jeddah trips and waits for the truck to fill.
• Missing documents: a truck reaching Batha with complete papers crosses in hours, and one without spends the night.
• New among used: boxed appliances are valued and pay duty.
• The tower’s permit: towers in Dubai and Abu Dhabi require the service lift to be booked and an entry permit for the truck.

Shipping prices from Mecca to the UAE

Nearly two thousand kilometres make this one of the dearest Gulf routes for a full truck, and one of the most economical for those who share. So the first question is always: how much of the truck does your shipment take? These are the prices our services start from, from your door in Makkah to the consignee’s door in the UAE:

What you ship	Method	Price starts from
Carton	Land freight	SAR 140
Suitcase	Land freight	SAR 230
Belongings above 50 kg	Land freight	SAR 4.6 per kilogram
Small part load	Shared load	SAR 740
Ten cartons or suitcases	Shared load	SAR 1,100
Bedroom with a sitting room	Shared load	SAR 1,850
A flat’s furniture	Truck	SAR 4,600
Car	Car carrier	SAR 3,500
Air freight	Via Jeddah airport	SAR 14 per kilogram
Documents	Express	SAR 83

Prices quoted in the market for this route: small parcels by land between SAR 150 and 500, a room or part-load furniture between SAR 1,200 and 2,700, medium commercial goods between SAR 800 and 2,000, a car between SAR 4,000 and 6,000, and air between SAR 16 and 25 per kilogram. So use the table as a point of comparison for any offer you receive, and always ask what the figure covers.

What sets the price	Its effect
Volume	The first factor. Work it out with the volume calculator
Full truck or shared	Full is faster and dearer; shared means you pay for your space only
The emirate	Abu Dhabi is nearer; Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah are about 250 km farther
Dismantling, packing and assembly	Lines stated in the offer, not added after it
The home’s location in Makkah	Hillside districts and narrow streets may need a small vehicle to shuttle to the truck
Season	Ramadan, Hajj and summer see higher demand

How do you lower the cost?

• Choose a shared load if your date is not pressing.
• Do not ship what costs less in the UAE than carrying it 1,900 km.
• Gather your suitcases and cartons into one shipment; ten cost less each than two.
• Book outside Ramadan and Hajj if you can, or two weeks before them.
• Send clear photos of everything you ship; an accurate estimate prevents a price difference on loading day.

What sets shipping from Makkah apart

Shipping from Makkah is not like shipping from Jeddah, even though they are an hour apart. Makkah has three particularities that those who know it allow for. The first is that it has no airport or port, so air freight goes through Jeddah airport. The second is that large trucks enter it at regulated hours, more tightly restricted in Ramadan and Hajj. The third is that many of its districts are hilly with narrow streets, so a large truck cannot reach the door.

Particularity	Its effect	How we handle it
No airport in Makkah	An air shipment is carried to Jeddah	We collect from your door and take it to King Abdulaziz Airport the same day
Regulated truck entry	Loading at set hours	We fix the appointment in advance and load in the permitted time
Hillside districts and narrow streets	A large truck cannot reach the door	A small vehicle shuttles to the truck at the nearest wide street
Hajj season	Restrictions on entering Makkah	We load before the season, or store the shipment until after it
Hotel accommodation	No room for lengthy packing	We collect suitcases and cartons ready from reception

Shipping furniture and household goods from Mecca to the UAE

Furniture leaving Makkah stays on the road for at least four days, passes two border posts, and may have part of it opened for inspection. So packing that is enough for a move between Aziziyah and Shawqiyah is not enough here. We pack on the assumption that every piece will be loaded and unloaded more than once.

• Survey: by photos or at the home, to estimate the volume and learn whether the truck can reach the door.
• Dismantling: bedrooms, wardrobes and kitchens are dismantled and their parts numbered, with the screws in bags taped to them.
• Packing: blankets then corrugated cardboard for wood, foam and wooden crates for glass and marble, and wrap for sofas and mattresses.
• Appliances: the fridge and washing machine are emptied and dried a day before. The UAE’s supply is 230 volts with the same plugs as the Kingdom, so your appliances work there without an adapter.
• Inventory: a numbered list of every carton and piece, which is what goes to UAE customs.
• Assembly: our crew in the UAE takes each piece to its room, assembles it and removes the packing waste.

Service details are on the furniture shipping page, and packing methods in the packing guide.

Land freight from Mecca to the UAE: full truck or shared load?

Land is the main method on this route. The first decision in it changes both price and time. A full truck moves on your loading day and stops only for rest and the border. A shared load joins the Jeddah trips and waits to fill, and each shipment is then unloaded at its owner’s address in the UAE.

Comparison	Shared load	Full truck
You pay for	Your shipment’s space only	The whole truck
Time	6–10 days	4–6 days
Departure	Once the truck is full	On loading day
Handling	May be moved between two trucks	Loaded once and unloaded once
Best for	Up to about three rooms	A full home or a lot of goods

Details are on the land freight page.

Shipping pilgrims’ luggage and parcels

An Emirati pilgrim buys more in Makkah than his suitcase holds: rugs, prayer beads, dates and gifts for the family. And the airline charges for every extra kilogram. The answer is for the luggage to travel ahead of him or follow by land: we collect it from the hotel or residence and deliver it to his address in the UAE.

• Suitcase: from SAR 230, wrapped and numbered.
• Carton: double-wall from SAR 140, no more than 30 kg.
• Ten cartons or suitcases: from SAR 1,100, the best fit for groups and pilgrim parties.
• Per kilogram: from SAR 4.6 above 50 kg.
• Collection from the hotel: leave the luggage at reception under your name and number, and we collect it against a receipt.
• What not to put in: Zamzam water, cash, gold, and medicines without a prescription.

Details are on the parcel shipping page.

Shipping commercial goods from Mecca to the UAE

Makkah’s markets sell what the whole Gulf asks for in the seasons: prayer beads, rugs, ihram clothing, dates, perfumes and incense. A UAE trader buys wholesale and wants his goods before Ramadan or Hajj. Saudi Arabia and the UAE are in one customs union, so goods of Saudi origin cross with no duty on a certificate of origin.

• Units: by the carton or pallet in a shared load, and by the truck for quantities.
• Certificate of origin: for Saudi and Gulf goods, and it is what exempts them from duty.
• Foreign goods: they carry the unified Gulf duty of 5% if it was not paid when they entered the Gulf.
• Value added tax: 5% in the UAE on commercial imports.
• Dates and foodstuffs: with a label and expiry date.
• Perfumes and incense: declared by type and quantity, and restricted in air freight.

Details are on the commercial shipping page.

Shipping appliances and cars from Mecca to the UAE

Appliances and cars share one rule: their value is high, so recording their condition before loading is a must. An appliance is photographed while working, and a car is photographed from every side with a condition report signed with the driver.

What you ship	How it ships	What it needs
Screens and electronics	In the original carton or a wooden crate, carried upright	An invoice for new ones
Fridges, washing machines and air conditioners	Emptied and dried, in foam and reinforced cardboard	Moving parts secured
An ordinary car	Car carrier, from SAR 3,500	An export certificate from traffic after fines are paid
A luxury car	Enclosed carrier	Insurance at value, and detailed photos
A financed car	As the others	A no-objection letter from the finance provider

• Duty on a car: 5% of the value assessed by UAE customs, then 5% value added tax.
• Age: the UAE has a condition on the age of a used car to be registered, which we confirm before shipping.
• Registration: a technical test and UAE insurance, then the emirate’s plates.
• Before loading: a quarter tank of fuel, and no personal items inside the car.

Details are on the car shipping page.

The Batha border post and UAE customs

Every shipment goes through two clearances: export at Batha, and import at Ghuwaifat. The border is 1,400 km from Makkah, so a missing paper is not easily made good. That is why we prepare the file in Makkah before the truck moves, and send a copy to our broker at the border.

Item	Rule
Customs duty	5% of the value of the goods and their freight on most items
Gulf origin	Exempt on a certificate of origin
A mover’s used furniture	Usually exempt, with a list of contents and the consignee’s residence permit or Emirates ID
New items among furniture	Anything in its box pays duty
Value added tax	5% on commercial imports
Restricted items	Medicines, foodstuffs, cosmetics and radio devices with their permits

Type of shipment	Documents
Used furniture and belongings	ID or Iqama, the consignee’s residence permit or Emirates ID, and a detailed list of contents
Commercial goods	Invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, and the importer’s registration in the UAE
Car	Registration, export certificate and owner’s ID
Suitcases and personal parcels	Description and value of the contents, and the consignee’s address and UAE number

The documents are explained on the required documents page, and the procedures on the customs clearance page.

What cannot be shipped to the UAE or needs a permit

Item	Rule
Zamzam water	Its export is restricted, and it is not shipped with goods
Flammables and gases	Prohibited in general freight
Medicines	Personal quantities with a prescription; commercial by permit
Radio devices and drones	By prior permit
Seeds and plants	With a plant health certificate
Weapons and anything resembling them	Prohibited
Cash, gold and original documents	Not shipped with furniture; keep them with you
Counterfeits	Confiscated

The general list is on the prohibited items page.

The UAE cities we ship to from Mecca

After Ghuwaifat the truck passes Abu Dhabi first, then Dubai, then the northern emirates. So the emirate sets the delivery day: Abu Dhabi usually on the crossing day itself, and Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah the day after.

City	Approximate distance from Makkah	Delivery note
Abu Dhabi	About 1,770 km	The first major city after the border
Al Ain	About 1,870 km	Served from the Abu Dhabi road
Dubai	About 1,900 km	Towers that require the service lift booked and an entry permit
Sharjah and Ajman	About 1,930 km	Delivery outside rush hours is preferable
Umm Al Quwain	About 1,960 km	On the Dubai day or the next
Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah	About 2,020 km	The day after crossing

Send us the area name, building, flat number and a UAE mobile number. Destination details are on the shipping to the UAE page.

Shipping for individuals, companies, government bodies and embassies

The service is the same at its core, and differs in what surrounds it. An individual cares that his home arrives as it left. A company cares that its work is not interrupted. An official body or an embassy cares about procedure, records and privacy.

Customer	What matters to them	What we provide
Individuals and families	Safe furniture and a price with no surprises	A photo survey, dismantling, packing and assembly, and an itemised price
Pilgrims and pilgrim groups	Collection from the hotel and delivery at home	Every suitcase numbered in its owner’s name, and a collection receipt
Companies and hotels	The date and the documents	A dedicated truck, tax invoices, and periodic trips under contract
Government bodies	Official procedure and records	Letters, a collection and delivery record, and sealed packing for files
Embassies and consulates	Privacy and diplomatic exemptions	Coordinating exemption documents, and delivery inside the premises

Air freight from Mecca to the UAE

On a land route that takes at least four days, air becomes a real option for anything light and urgent. We collect the shipment from your door in Makkah and take it to King Abdulaziz Airport in Jeddah the same day. The flight to Dubai, Abu Dhabi or Sharjah is about two and a half hours, with delivery within one to two days including clearance.

• For whom: documents, urgent parcels, small electronics, commercial samples, and the suitcase of a pilgrim in a hurry.
• Charging: on the greater of actual and volumetric weight. Work it out with the volumetric weight calculator.
• Price: air freight starts from SAR 14 per kilogram, and documents by express from SAR 83.
• When land suits better: above 50 kilograms, land is far cheaper, starting from SAR 4.6 per kilogram.
• What it does not suit: furniture, large appliances, liquids, perfumes in quantity and loose batteries.

Details are on the air freight page, and in the article air freight office in Jeddah.

Is sea freight from Mecca to the UAE a better fit?

The nearest port to Makkah is Jeddah Islamic Port. A container from there to Jebel Ali sails round the whole Arabian Peninsula, taking 14 to 22 days. So sea freight only suits heavy commercial goods whose owner is in no hurry. For furniture, luggage and cars, land is faster and cheaper. The full comparison is on the shipping methods comparison page.

Collection from Makkah’s districts and nearby towns

We pack and load at your location, in any district of Makkah: Aziziyah, Shawqiyah, Awali, Naseem, Sharaie, Batha Quraysh, Zahir and Rusayfah. We also collect from nearby towns, and their shipments join the same trip:

Place	Distance from Makkah	Note
Hotels in the central area	Within Makkah	Suitcases and cartons collected from reception
Al Jumum and Bahrah	20–40 km	Collected on the same day as Makkah
Jeddah	About 80 km	The two shipments join in one trip
Taif	About 90 km	On the same road, so loaded on the way

If your home in the UAE is not ready yet, or your travel date falls in Hajj season, we store your shipment in our warehouse, packed and inventoried, until you set the date. Details are on the storage page.

Steps for shipping from Mecca to the UAE

1. Contact: you send what you are shipping with photos, your district in Makkah, and your address in the UAE.
2. Itemised price: it reaches you by line: dismantling, packing, transport, clearance and assembly.
3. Booking: we fix the loading day and its permitted hour, and ask for copies of the ID and the consignee’s residence permit.
4. Packing and loading: at your home, with a numbered list of contents and photos.
5. Export clearance: at the Batha post.
6. UAE clearance: at the Ghuwaifat post.
7. Delivery: to the address, with unloading and assembly if you asked for it.

Tracking and insurance

Four days on the road is a time in which a shipper has every right to ask. So we do not wait for the question: we tell him when the truck leaves Makkah, when it passes Riyadh, when it reaches the border, when clearance is done, and the time of arrival at his door.

• Tracking: by shipment number, with an update at every stage. Details are on the track your shipment page.
• Record: photos of every item before packing and after loading.
• Insurance: optional, calculated as a percentage of the declared value, and we recommend it on this route because the road is long. Details are on the cargo insurance page.
• On receipt: inspect the shipment and note any remark on the delivery report before signing.

Shipping from the UAE to Mecca

The route works in both directions. We collect from the address in the UAE through our crew there, clear at both posts, and deliver to any district of Makkah in the hours permitted for trucks. A Saudi returning from work in the UAE brings in his used furniture exempt with a list of contents. Goods of Emirati origin enter the Kingdom with no duty on a certificate of origin.

Tips before shipping from Mecca to the UAE

• Book two weeks before Ramadan and Hajj, or pick a date outside them.
• Tell us if your street is narrow or steep, so we send the right vehicle.
• Set aside what you will carry yourself: passports, contracts, gold and medicines.
• Ask the tower’s management in the UAE about booking the service lift and the truck’s entry permit.
• Write your name and number on every suitcase and carton.
• Keep a copy of the list of contents on your phone.
