Shipping to the UAE from the first line:

  • Land: the main route for furniture and goods, on a shared or private truck.
  • Crossing: Al Batha in the Kingdom, facing Ghuwaifat in the UAE.
  • Air: for documents and urgent parcels in one to two days.
  • GCC-origin goods: duty-free with a valid certificate of origin.
  • Cars: on an enclosed carrier after reviewing UAE registration conditions.

The shipment’s route from Saudi Arabia to the UAE

Stage Details Approx. time
Collection and packing At your home in any Saudi city One day
The road to Al Batha From about 400 km from Al Ahsa to about 1,550 km from Jeddah Hours to two days
Crossing and clearance Al Batha, then Ghuwaifat Hours
Ghuwaifat → your address Abu Dhabi, then Dubai and the other emirates Hours to a day

The UAE is a land neighbour, so land remains the route for most furniture and goods: the truck is loaded at your door and unloaded at your door. We only use sea to Jebel Ali for large goods containers, and air for urgent, light items.

Which crossing does your shipment from Saudi Arabia use?

Saudi → UAE crossing Location Beyond it
Al Batha → Ghuwaifat The far east of the Kingdom on the Abu Dhabi border The coastal road to Ruwais and Abu Dhabi, then on to Dubai, Sharjah and the other emirates

Al Batha is the only land crossing between the Kingdom and the UAE, leading to Ghuwaifat and then the coastal road to Ruwais, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah and the other emirates. Because it is one of the busiest truck crossings, we send the papers to the broker in advance so the truck does not wait long.

Shipping to the UAE by your region in the Kingdom

Collection region Approx. distance to Dubai Approx. time
Al Ahsa About 800 km One to two working days
Dammam, Khobar and Jubail About 900 km One to two working days
Riyadh and Al Kharj About 1,100 km Two to three working days
Qassim and Hail About 1,450 km Two to four working days
Madinah About 1,900 km Three to five working days
Jeddah and Taif About 2,000 km Three to five working days
Makkah About 2,000 km Three to five working days

The closer your city is to the Al Batha crossing, the shorter the time and the lower the cost. If you are shipping the other way, the page on shipping from the UAE to Saudi Arabia has what you need.

If you are moving a whole home, the guide to moving furniture from Saudi Arabia to the UAE covers every stage from survey to reassembly.

Packing furniture in Saudi Arabia

Furniture packing from Saudi Arabia to the UAE

The road to the UAE spends long hours in the desert, so we pack for a long journey, not a move across town:

  • Sofas and majlis seating: plastic, then moving blankets.
  • Wardrobes and beds: dismantled, with screws numbered in bags.
  • Fridges and washing machines: emptied, dried, doors secured.
  • Screens: boxes lined with foam.
  • Glass, mirrors and antiques: protective frames or wooden crates.
  • Dishes: each piece wrapped on its own in divided cartons.

Loading in Saudi Arabia and the truck type

We build the load in layers: heavy at the bottom, fragile on top, gaps filled and straps tight, and the truck is closed after the load is checked against the packing list.

Loading the truck from Saudi Arabia to the UAE
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 shared truck is cheaper for anyone with few items, a private truck is faster and loaded in a single day, and a refrigerated truck is for dates, food and sensitive medicines.

Car shipping from Saudi Arabia to the UAE

We collect your car from your home, clean it and photograph it from every side, fit a protective cover, then load it onto an enclosed car carrier and secure it with straps and chocks.

Car shipping from Saudi Arabia to the UAE

Registering an imported car in the UAE has conditions, usually chiefly that it is no more than ten years old from its year of manufacture, passes the technical inspection, and comes with an export certificate from the traffic department in the Kingdom and proof of ownership. A car already cleared through customs in a GCC country may be exempt from UAE customs duty on proof of that; otherwise duty and VAT apply. These conditions can change, so we review your car’s details 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 the UAE for a visit and bring it back, that is an ordinary crossing at Al Batha with valid insurance covering the UAE and the car’s papers, and needs no shipping.

Air freight from Saudi Arabia to the UAE

Air freight from Saudi Arabia to the UAE goes from the airports of Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam and Madinah to the airports of Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah, and usually takes one to two working days.

Air freight from Saudi Arabia to the UAE

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. Many of our customers send a suitcase of urgent things by air and leave the rest of the home to the truck.

Shipping commercial goods to the UAE

For traders and companies we ship food, dates, personal-care products, appliances, spare parts, building materials and online-store products from the Kingdom to the UAE. We stack the goods on wrapped pallets, prepare the commercial invoice, certificate of origin and packing list, and ship on a shared truck, a full trailer or a refrigerated truck.

Delivery across all seven emirates

We deliver to Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah, to homes, flats, towers, offices and warehouses. The crew unloads the furniture, carries it inside using the freight lift in towers, and reassembles it if that is part of the agreement, and you check the items against the packing list with us before signing.

Will duties be charged on your belongings in the UAE?

Used household belongings are not usually treated like commercial goods, but customs assesses each shipment on its own and asks for proof that the contents are personal and that you are a national or resident of the UAE. The main papers:

  • A copy of the receiver’s passport and Emirates ID.
  • A copy of a valid UAE 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.

We tell you plainly what may delay a shipment: medicines, new appliances in quantity, and a vague packing list. We arrange their papers before the road.

GCC-origin goods and the customs exemption

Saudi Arabia and the UAE are members of the GCC customs union, and goods of GCC national origin enter the UAE 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 UAE VAT 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 the UAE

  • A copy of the sender’s ID or iqama and passport.
  • A copy of the receiver’s passport and Emirates 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 the UAE.

What happens at the border?

We send copies of the papers to the broker before the truck arrives, so preparation starts before it joins the queue. Al Batha is one of the busiest truck crossings, so we book the departure to avoid the peak as far as possible.

Do you need insurance?

If your shipment includes a car, expensive appliances or furniture that is hard to replace, insurance is worth its small cost. It is calculated as a percentage of the declared value, and we document the items’ condition with photos during packing.

What cannot be shipped to the UAE

  • Flammable materials, gas cylinders and fuel.
  • Weapons, ammunition and anything resembling them.
  • Narcotics and restricted medicines without a prescription and permission.
  • Seeds and plants without agricultural permits.
  • Counterfeit goods and anything banned under either country’s rules.
  • Loose lithium batteries by air.

Tips before shipping to the UAE

  • Have the receiver’s Emirates ID and residence copies ready before loading.
  • Do not ship new boxed appliances in quantity with household furniture, as they may be treated as goods.
  • Carry medicines, gold and important documents with you.
  • Check the registration conditions for your car in the UAE before you ship it.
  • Book the freight lift in the tower you will live in before the arrival date.
  • Empty and dry the fridge and washing machine the day before loading.
