Shipping options from Riyadh to Qatar and their timing
There is more than one way to ship from Riyadh to Qatar, each differing in timing, cost and the shipments it suits:
- Dedicated road freight: a truck just for you, arriving in 1 to 2 days — best for house moves and fixed-date shipments.
- Consolidated road freight: your goods in a shared load by the cubic meter, arriving in 3 to 5 days — cheapest for small quantities.
- Air freight: 24–48 hours for documents, samples and urgent parcels, charged on chargeable weight.
| Method | Timing from Riyadh | Best for | Charged by |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dedicated road | 1 to 2 days | House moves, fixed-date shipments | Volume and truck size |
| Consolidated road | 3 to 5 days | Cartons, parcels, small quantities | Cubic meter or weight |
| Air | 24–48 hours | Documents, samples, urgent parcels | Chargeable weight |

Air freight from Riyadh to Qatar
For small parcels, documents, samples and urgent spare parts, air freight from Riyadh reaches Doha and Lusail 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) |

Moving furniture from Riyadh to Qatar
We move Riyadh homes to Qatar in one or two days: a day for dismantling, packing and loading, then the road, the crossing and delivery. Because the trip is relatively short, the whole move can often be done within 48 hours with a complete file.

|---|---|---|
| Room or studio | 8–12 m³ | Consolidated or small truck |
| Two-bedroom apartment | 15–20 m³ | Medium dedicated truck |
| Three-bedroom apartment | 22–30 m³ | Large dedicated truck |
| Small villa | 35–45 m³ | Large truck or two |
| Large villa | 50 m³ and up | By survey |
- Sort before the survey; worn pieces can cost more than their replacement — see how to sort your furniture.
- Appliances need special packing and documents — see shipping electronics to Doha.
- A packing list that passes smoothly — see why Qatar shipments get inspected.
Car shipping from Riyadh to Qatar
We ship cars from Riyadh to every city in Qatar on open or enclosed carriers, photographing the car’s condition before loading and after delivery, from SAR 1,600 for a sedan on a shared carrier. Cars imported into Qatar are generally subject to a 5% customs duty on their value, so factor it in first.
- A valid registration and clearance of traffic fines before shipping.
- An official authorisation if the shipper isn’t the registered owner.
- The car emptied of personal belongings, which ship separately.
- Fuel at a minimum, and photos from every side with the odometer.
- Check registration conditions in the destination country first.

Commercial goods from Riyadh to Qatar
For companies and stores we ship part or full loads, with a customs file prepared once and updated per batch, delivering to warehouses or free zones — see shipping project supplies to Qatar and e-commerce shipping to Qatar.
| Commercial shipment | Method | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Small repeat batches | Consolidated by weight or CBM | Saved customs file per batch |
| Pallets and part loads | Shared truck | By number of pallets |
| Full load | Dedicated truck | Timing under your control |
| Mesaieed and Ras Laffan | Truck with entry permit | Reference number from the consignee |

Shipping steps

Documents required

|---|---|
| Furniture and personal effects | ID or residence permit and passport, Qatari ID or proof of residence, numbered packing list, broker authorisation. |

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. |
| Delivery day | Count and check the parcels before signing. |
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.
Truck types for shipping from Riyadh to Qatar
We choose the truck by the size and type of shipment, so you don’t pay for space you don’t need:
| Truck | Approximate load | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Small closed truck (dyna) | Up to 3 tonnes | A room, studio or parcels |
| Medium closed truck | 5–10 tonnes | Two- or three-bedroom apartment |
| Large closed trailer | Up to 25 tonnes | A whole villa or full commercial load |
| Flatbed | By load | Building materials and equipment |
| Multi-axle lowbed | Heavy loads | Construction equipment and machinery |
| Open or enclosed car carrier | Several cars | Car shipping |
What happens on loading day?
How each piece is packed
| Item | Packing |
|---|---|
| Bedrooms and wardrobes | Full dismantling, numbered bolt bags, blankets and stretch film. |
| Sofas | Fitted covers, then dust-proof film. |
| Glass and mirrors | Foam, corner guards and two rigid boards, carried upright. |
| TVs | Foam and rigid cardboard or original box, upright. |
| Fridge and washer | Emptied and dried a day before, drum locked, upright. |
| Kitchenware | Plates upright with dividers, cups stuffed with paper. |
| Antiques and paintings | Custom wooden crates — see shipping valuables. |
Office and company moves to Qatar
We move offices and branches to Qatar: office furniture, computers and servers, archives and safes, with cables and devices numbered, anti-static packing for sensitive equipment, and delivery outside working hours in commercial towers.
Temporary storage
If your Qatar 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 Lusail, West Bay and The Pearl towers
Special cases
Shipping from Qatar to Saudi Arabia
We also ship in the reverse direction with the same services, from Doha and every Qatari city to every Saudi city.
Shipping appliances and electronics to Qatar
Appliances ship with most furniture and are among the items most damaged by poor packing. Qatar runs at about 240 V against 230 V in Saudi Arabia, with three-pin plugs common in both, but the frequency differs: 60 Hz in Saudi Arabia and 50 Hz in Qatar, 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.
