Shipping options from Jeddah to the UAE and their timing
There is more than one way to ship from Jeddah to the UAE, each differing in timing, cost and the shipments it suits:
- Dedicated road freight: a truck just for you, arriving in 3 to 4 days — best for house moves and fixed-date shipments.
- Consolidated road freight: your goods in a shared load by the cubic meter, arriving in 5 to 7 days — cheapest for small quantities.
- Air freight: 24–48 hours for documents, samples and urgent parcels, charged on chargeable weight.
- Sea freight from Jeddah port: full containers to Jebel Ali, suited to large quantities and equipment, slower than road.
| Method | Timing from Jeddah | Best for | Charged by |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dedicated road | 3 to 4 days | House moves, fixed-date shipments | Volume and truck size |

| Sea from Jeddah port | Longer than road | Full containers and equipment | Per container |
Air freight from Jeddah to the UAE
For small parcels, documents, samples and urgent spare parts, air freight from Jeddah reaches Dubai and Abu Dhabi in 24 to 48 hours. It is charged on chargeable weight — the greater of actual and volumetric weight — so a large light box is charged on its size.
| Parcel | Dimensions and actual weight | Chargeable weight (divisor 5000) |
|---|---|---|
| Box of clothes | 60×50×40 cm — 8 kg | 24 kg (volume wins) |
| Box of books | 40×30×30 cm — 25 kg | 25 kg (weight wins) |

| Two-bedroom apartment | 15–20 m³ | Medium dedicated truck |

Prohibited and restricted items
A preparation timeline
| When | What to do |
|---|---|
| 3 weeks before | Request the survey and quote, and start sorting. |
| 2 weeks before | Prepare documents and ask the destination building about delivery rules. |
| 1 week before | Fix the loading date and pack non-essentials. |
| 2 days before | Disconnect appliances, empty the fridge, remove liquids and aerosols. |
| Loading day | Review the list with the team and get a signed copy. |

How to compare shipping companies
- Does the price include packing, loading, clearance and door delivery?
- Where exactly does the price end — door or warehouse?
- Will you give me an itemised quote?
- What is the lifting fee if there is no lift?
- Is there insurance, and on what value?
The full list is in questions to ask a shipping company before you pay, and how to read a quote in how to read a shipping quote.
Common costly mistakes
- Choosing the cheapest without comparing what the price covers.
- A vague packing list means the shipment is opened at the border.
- A forgotten restricted item in a storeroom box.
- No coordination with the destination building management.
- Signing before checking — all the mistakes are in common international shipping mistakes.

What happens on loading day?
How each piece is packed
| Item | Packing |

Temporary storage
If your UAE home isn’t ready when the shipment arrives, we arrange temporary storage in a secure warehouse until handover, with the cost stated in the quote.
Tracking and communication
- A shipment number and bill of lading at loading.
- An update at every stage: loading, border arrival, crossing, arrival in the emirate, delivery.
- One responsible person with a direct number throughout.
- Immediate notice of any border delay and its cause.
Delivery to Dubai and Abu Dhabi towers
Special cases
Shipping from the UAE to Saudi Arabia
We also ship in the reverse direction with the same services, from every emirate to every Saudi city.
Shipping appliances and electronics to the UAE
Appliances ship with most furniture and are among the items most damaged by poor packing. UAE voltage is close to Saudi Arabia’s (about 230 V) with three-pin plugs common in both, but the frequency differs: 60 Hz in Saudi Arabia and 50 Hz in the UAE, so check motor-driven appliances.
| Appliance | Preparation |
|---|---|
| TVs | Foam and rigid cardboard, carried upright. |
| Fridges | Emptied and dried a day before; switch on hours after arrival. |
| Washers | Water drained and drum locked with transit bolts. |
| Computers | Back up data; anti-static packing. |
| Split ACs | Removed by a technician with the gas held in the outdoor unit. |
Insuring your shipment
Carrier liability is capped and doesn’t always cover real value, while cargo insurance covers the declared value within covered risks. We recommend it for whole-house moves, valuable appliances and cars, and show the premium separately in the quote — see international cargo insurance.
How to choose a shipping company to the UAE
