Shipping options from Riyadh to the UAE and their timing

  • Dedicated road freight: a truck just for you, arriving in 2 to 3 days — best for house moves and shipments with a fixed date.
  • Consolidated road freight: your goods in a shared load charged by the cubic meter, arriving in 4 to 6 days — the most economical for small and medium quantities.
  • Air freight: 24 to 48 hours for documents, samples and urgent parcels, charged on chargeable weight.
  • Sea freight via Dammam or Jeddah: full containers and heavy equipment to Jebel Ali port; slower than road.

Shipping prices from Riyadh to the UAE in 2026

Prices start from SAR 230 for a carton or small parcel and vary with the type and size of the shipment, the method and the destination emirate. These are starting prices for the most requested shipments:

Commercial goods by weightSAR 14 per kgConsolidated commercial freight
Villa or large homeBy volumeDetailed quote after survey
📌 Why prices start at these figures
Each figure is the starting price for the smallest shipment in its category. The final price depends on volume in cubic meters, dedicated or consolidated transport, extra services such as dismantling and assembly, and floors and lifts at both ends. Work out your volume in the CBM calculator before requesting a price.

What raises or lowers the price?

Volume
The biggest factor; every cubic meter less lowers the price.
Dedicated or consolidated
Dedicated is faster and costs more; consolidated is cheaper and a little slower.
Services
Dismantling, packing, assembly and special materials.
Floors and lifts
Dubai and Abu Dhabi towers need lift booking; hand-carrying adds a fee.
Destination emirate
Abu Dhabi is closest to the border; Fujairah and Ras Al Khaimah the farthest.
Season
Year-end and holidays put pressure on truck availability.

Air freight and parcels

Air freight arrives in 24 to 48 hours, but watch volumetric weight: a large light box is charged on its size. A 60×50×40 cm box of clothes weighing 8 kg is charged as 24 kg at divisor 5000. Try the volumetric weight calculator and read volumetric weight vs CBM.
