The shipment’s route from Riyadh to Qatar

Stage	Details	Approx. time
Collection and packing	At your home in Riyadh, with dismantling and inventory	One day
Riyadh → Salwa	About 500 km via Al Ahsa	Hours
Crossing and clearance	Salwa, then Abu Samra	Hours
Abu Samra → your address	The highway north to Doha and Al Rayyan	Hours

Riyadh is one of the cities our trucks leave for Qatar from most often, with several trips a week. The distance is relatively short, so a home loaded in Riyadh in the morning can reach Doha the next day if its papers were sent to the broker in advance.

Which crossing does your shipment from Riyadh use?

Saudi → Qatari crossing	Location	Beyond it
Salwa → Abu Samra	South-east of Al Ahsa, on Qatar’s only land border	The highway north to Doha, Al Rayyan, Al Wakrah and the other municipalities

Salwa is the only land crossing between the Kingdom and Qatar, and all Riyadh shipments pass through it to Abu Samra, then the highway to Doha, Al Rayyan and Al Wakrah.

Who ships from Riyadh to Qatar?

Most of our customers on this route are Qatari families who lived in Riyadh for work or study, employees moving with their work between Riyadh and Doha, companies with branches in both countries, and traders sending Saudi goods to Qatari markets. Some buy furniture from Riyadh showrooms and send it to their home in Doha with the showroom invoice.

If you are moving a whole home, the guide to moving furniture from Riyadh to Qatar covers every stage from survey to reassembly.

Packing furniture in Riyadh

The road to Qatar crosses the desert, so we pack to withstand heat and vibration for long hours:

Majlis seating and sofas in a layer of plastic, then moving blankets, with cushions in separate bags.
Bedrooms and wardrobes dismantled, with each piece’s screws in a numbered bag.
Screens in padded boxes, appliances in double-wall cartons.
Dishes and crystal wrapped piece by piece in divided cartons.
Fridges and washing machines emptied and dried a day before.

Loading in Riyadh and the truck type

At villas the truck stops at your door and is loaded in front of you; in apartment buildings we use the lift or an external hoist. We build the load in layers, heavy at the bottom and fragile on top, and strap it for a road of more than a thousand kilometres.

Truck type	Best for	How it is priced
Shared truck	Cartons, one or two rooms, a few appliances	Per kg, per item or per cubic metre
Private dyna or medium truck	A small flat or an office	One price for the whole trip
13 to 15 m closed trailer	A villa or large home, or goods	One price for the whole trip
Refrigerated truck	Dates, food and sensitive medicines	Per pallet or per trip
Enclosed car carrier	One or more cars	Per car, by size

A few items go on the shared truck with your own colour mark and number, so nothing gets mixed up at unloading.

Car shipping from Riyadh to Qatar

We collect your car from your home in Riyadh, photograph it from every side, fit a protective cover, then load it onto an enclosed car carrier that keeps desert sand off it all the way.

Qatar has conditions for importing used cars, chiefly that a light vehicle is no more than five years old from its manufacture date, meets the approved specifications and passes the FAHES inspection, with 5% customs duty on the value assessed by customs. A car is not covered by the household-goods exemption. These conditions can change, so we review your car’s details with the broker in Qatar before booking. Its papers from the Kingdom: a valid registration, no fines or liens, an export request through Absher or the traffic department with the plates handed in, the purchase invoice or sale contract, and a copy of your ID or iqama.

If you will drive your own car to Qatar for a visit and bring it back, that is an ordinary crossing at Salwa with valid insurance covering Qatar and the car’s papers, and needs no shipping.

Delivery in Qatar

After release at Abu Samra the truck continues to your address in Doha, Al Rayyan, Lusail, Al Wakrah or elsewhere. The crew unloads the furniture, carries it inside using the freight lift in towers, and reassembles bedrooms and wardrobes if that is part of the agreement, and then you check the items against the packing list with us.

Air freight from Riyadh to Qatar

Urgent parcels and documents go by air from King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh to Hamad International Airport in Doha, usually arriving in one to two working days including clearance.

Air suits:

Documents, contracts and certificates.
Small devices such as laptops and phones in their original boxes.
Commercial samples and urgent spare parts.
Gifts and light personal items.

It is charged on the greater of actual and volumetric weight; send us the weight and dimensions and we will work it out for you. A truck to Qatar arrives in a few days, so land is far cheaper for furniture and appliances.

Shipping goods from Riyadh to Qatar

For Riyadh traders and companies we ship packaged food, dates, personal-care products, appliances, spare parts and online-store products to Qatar. We stack the goods on wrapped pallets, prepare the invoice, GCC certificate of origin and packing list, and ship on a shared or full truck, refrigerated for sensitive items.

Riyadh districts we collect from

Al Malqa, Al Narjis, Al Yasmin, Al Arid, Al Sahafa and Hittin in the north; Al Olaya, Al Sulimaniyah, Al Malaz and Al Muruj in the centre; Al Rawdah, Al Naseem, Al Rayyan, Al Sulay and Al Nadhim in the east; Al Suwaidi, Dhahrat Laban and Tuwaiq in the west; Al Aziziyah, Al Shifa and Al Hazm in the south; plus Al Kharj, Diriyah and Al Muzahmiyah.

Qatari customs and used furniture

Personal effects and used household furniture of someone moving to live in Qatar for the first time for work or residence may be exempt from customs duties if they are for private use, not trade, and meet the conditions. The broker at Abu Samra files them, and usually requires:

A copy of the receiver’s passport and Qatar ID.
A copy of a valid Qatari residence for non-nationals.
A numbered packing list with the contents of every carton and item.
An official authorisation for the customs broker.
Avoid shipping new boxed appliances in quantity, as they may be treated as goods.

Some items need prior permission, such as medicines in quantity. We tell you before packing so you can decide what to ship and what to carry with you.

GCC-origin goods and the customs exemption

Saudi Arabia and Qatar are members of the GCC customs union, and goods of GCC national origin enter Qatar free of customs duties when accompanied by a valid certificate of origin. Goods of foreign origin are treated under the customs union rules and may attract duties or applicable taxes depending on their situation. So we ask traders for the commercial invoice, certificate of origin and packing list before loading.

Documents required for shipping to Qatar

A copy of the sender’s ID or iqama and passport.
A copy of the receiver’s passport and Qatar ID.
A numbered packing list.
For goods: a commercial invoice, certificate of origin and packing list.
For cars: the export certificate from the traffic department and the purchase invoice.
An authorisation for the clearing company in Qatar.

Crossing and clearance between Salwa and Abu Samra

The truck leaves the Salwa crossing once the export papers are stamped, then enters the Abu Samra crossing, where the broker files the customs declaration and the load is checked against the packing list, before continuing on the highway to Doha.

Cargo insurance

The road to Qatar spends long hours in the desert, so we pack for a long journey and recommend insuring cars, expensive appliances and antiques for a small percentage of their declared value, and we photograph your belongings before loading.
