Anyone looking for a shipping company from Ajman to Khamis Mushait is usually in an apartment in Al Nuaimiya, Al Rashidiya or Al Jurf and wants the living-room sofas, bedroom furniture and car to reach a new flat in Al Yarmouk or another Khamis district. The usual way is by road: we dismantle and wrap in your Ajman apartment, the truck crosses Al Ghuwaifat and then Al Batha, where clearance is done electronically through the Fasah platform, and the furniture reaches Khamis Mushait in about 4 to 5 days including clearance. A sedan travels in a two-deck enclosed carrier. Al Basmah International Shipping takes orders on WhatsApp +971557643821 at any hour, and our Sharjah branch at Industrial Area 18 is the closest to you, a few minutes from the Ajman border.

Sofas without a scratch
- Velvet sofas are wrapped in soft fabric first and plastic second, because plastic straight on the pile leaves marks.
- Leather sofas are never left in plastic alone for days; we add a breathable layer between leather and cover so moisture does not build up.
- Cushions and back pillows go in sealed bags numbered with the sofa they belong to.
- Sofa legs come off where possible and travel with their screws in a bag tied to the sofa.
- A final waterproof layer over every piece, because the Asir highlands get summer rain and fog.

What we move from Ajman apartments to Khamis Mushait
Most shipments from Ajman to Khamis Mushait are apartment furniture: a family whose work contract in the UAE has ended and is going home to Asir, or an employee who has moved to a job in Khamis and wants to take the living room as it is. An Ajman flat is not a villa; there are fewer pieces but each is worth more, and the sofa set is often the most expensive thing in the home and the first to suffer if it is moved carelessly.
- Living-room sofas: velvet sofas, genuine or faux leather sofas, L-shaped corner sofas that split into modules, recliners and floor seating.
- Living-room tables: coffee tables with glass or marble tops, side tables and TV units.
- Bedrooms: beds that dismantle, mattresses in bags, wardrobes and dressing tables with mirrors.
- Kitchen and appliances: fridge, washing machine, cookware and utensils in numbered cartons.
- Rugs and curtains: rugs rolled and wrapped, curtains in their own cartons.
- Vehicles: sedans in an enclosed carrier, SUVs on an open or enclosed carrier.
Pickup areas in Ajman
We collect from every part of Ajman and agree the lift booking and truck parking with the building management a day before loading. The most common areas on this line:
- Al Nuaimiya and Al Rashidiya towers: the busiest pickup points; lifts are shared, so we book the loading slot with the watchman or building management.
- Al Jurf, Al Hamidiya and Al Rawda: villas and flats, usually with easier truck access.
- Ajman Corniche and Al Zorah: residential towers with limited parking, so loading is done at quiet hours.
- Emirates City, Garden City and Al Mowaihat: large residential compounds where we agree the entry gate in advance.
- Ajman Free Zone and the industrial area: for anyone shipping a small shop’s stock along with their furniture.
- Manama and Masfout: Ajman’s inland enclaves, by prior appointment.
If your flat is on a high floor and the lift is small, send us the lift door size with photos of the sofas. A corner sofa splits into its modules, but a long one-piece sofa may need to go down the stairs, and we want to know that the day before loading, not on the day.
Wrapping sofas against scratches and moisture
Sofas get damaged in transit by three things: rubbing against another piece, pressure from loads on top, and moisture. Moisture is what many people forget when shipping to Khamis Mushait; the city sits at roughly 2,000 metres, gets summer rain and fog and has cold winter nights, and a piece sealed tight in plastic after a hot desert crossing can sweat on the inside.
- Velvet: a moving blanket or soft fabric against the pile, cardboard on the corners and arms, then a plastic outer cover.
- Leather: wrapping paper or cotton fabric that lets it breathe, padded corners, and plastic only as the last layer. No tape goes directly on leather.
- Cushions and pillows: in sealed bags, each marked with the sofa number and room name.
- Glass and marble tops: removed from the table where possible, bubble-wrapped and stood upright between cardboard sheets.
- Inside the truck: sofas go on top or along a dedicated side with nothing heavy on them, strapped so they do not shift on the bends of the climb into Asir.
- Off the floor: cartons are raised off the truck floor on an insulating layer so they absorb no moisture.
Tip: clean the sofas and let them dry completely before wrapping day. Fabric wrapped while still damp from cleaning can show stains or a smell when it is opened in Khamis.
The road route from Ajman to Khamis Mushait
The truck leaves Ajman through Sharjah, Dubai and Abu Dhabi to Al Ghuwaifat and then the Saudi Al Batha border, where clearance is done through the Fasah platform. Then comes Al Ahsa (Hofuf) and Riyadh, south through Al Kharj, Wadi Al Dawasir and Bisha, and the final climb onto the Asir highlands to Khamis Mushait. The distance is roughly 1,950 to 2,100 km.
- Small closed dyna (about 3 tons): for a one-bedroom flat, or just a living room with some cartons.
- 5-ton or 7-ton dyna: for a two- or three-bedroom apartment.
- 10-ton lorry or closed trailer: for a large flat with office furniture or goods.
- Shared load: for a living room and a few cartons, priced per cubic metre; it may wait a few days until the truck fills.
In a shared load your sofas sit next to other customers’ goods, so we wrap more heavily, separate your items with a divider and label them with your shipment number. If you need your Khamis flat furnished on a set date, a dedicated truck suits you better.

These times are approximate and change with border congestion, complete documents, public holidays and waiting time in a shared load; we tell you on WhatsApp about any change. If part of the furniture is going to Riyadh, see shipping company from Ajman to Riyadh.
Car shipping from Ajman to Khamis Mushait
A sedan usually travels in a two-deck enclosed carrier: each car in its place on one of the decks, wheel-strapped, and protected from dust and sun on the long desert road and from rain and fog on the final mountain stretch. We photograph the car from every side at collection and send you the photos on WhatsApp, then photograph it again at delivery.
- Enclosed carrier: from 4,100 AED, the best choice for newer and premium cars.
- Open carrier: sedans from 2,000 AED and SUVs from 2,750 AED.
- Car age: used passenger cars must not be more than 5 years old from the model year.
- Before handing it over: the car must be empty of personal belongings, and we do not put apartment cartons inside it.
Documents: the vehicle registration, the export certificate and plate cancellation from the Ajman licensing authority, and a copy of the owner’s passport and ID. Any special case, such as a car under finance or registered to someone else, is checked with the team before booking. To ship a car to another Saudi city, see shipping company from Ajman to Saudi Arabia.
Air freight from Ajman to Khamis Mushait
Air freight does not suit sofas and furniture, but it helps with things that cannot wait for the truck: clothes for the first week, original documents, small electronics, or personal medicines with their prescription, subject to the rules. Ajman has no cargo airport, so parcels are handed in at nearby Sharjah International Airport or at Dubai or Abu Dhabi, and fly to Abha International Airport, a short drive from Khamis Mushait, where cargo capacity is limited, or go via Jeddah or Riyadh and then by road. It takes about 2 to 4 days including clearance.
- Restricted by air: lithium batteries, liquids and perfumes.
- How it is priced: actual weight or volumetric weight (L × W × H in cm ÷ 6000), whichever is higher.
- Example: a 70 × 45 × 30 cm suitcase has a volumetric weight of about 16 kg; if it actually weighs 11 kg you pay for 16 kg.
Sea freight is used for large commercial containers into Jeddah Islamic Port or Jazan port and then by road; for apartment furniture and cars, road remains the usual way.
Documents for moving apartment furniture
- A copy of the owner’s passport and Saudi ID or iqama/residence visa.
- A detailed contents list in Arabic or English; we help you write it while packing by numbering each carton.
- New items in commercial quantities are treated as dutiable goods, so do not add new appliances or fabrics in bulk to the shipment.
- If you ship a shop’s stock with your furniture: a commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and a Saudi commercial registration for the consignee, plus a SABER certificate for many consumer products. Saudi VAT of 15% applies on imports.
Prohibited and restricted items
Warning: Do not put in the apartment cartons: alcohol, pork products, narcotics, weapons and ammunition without permits, gambling tools or counterfeit goods. Drones and some medicines need prior permits, soil and plants are restricted, and food and cosmetics are subject to SFDA requirements.

What decides the cost of moving your apartment?
- Volume in cubic metres: a full sofa set takes far more space than most people expect.
- Packing level: layered wrapping for velvet and leather takes more material and time.
- Dismantling and assembly: beds, wardrobes and corner sofas.
- Lift and floor: a building without a lift, or with a small one, adds time to loading or unloading.
- Shipping type: shared or dedicated truck.
- Delivery point: a flat in Al Yarmouk is different from a house in a mountain village that needs a smaller truck for the last leg.

- We agree the loading date, and you book the lift with the building management.
- Dismantling and layered wrapping in the flat according to each piece, with numbered cartons and a written contents list.
- Loading and handing the car to the carrier, then a WhatsApp update at each stage: loading, the border, clearance and arrival.

Delivery in Al Yarmouk and other Khamis Mushait districts
Al Yarmouk is one of the sought-after residential districts of Khamis Mushait, with many apartment buildings. We deliver there and to Al Wurud, Al Mansurah, Al Shifa, Al Mustaqbal, Al Musif, Al Nur, Al Ta’awun, Al Azhar, Al Safa, Al Rasras, Al Dhurfah and the Dhahban area, as well as Abha, Ahad Rafidah, Tendaha, Sarat Abidah and Bisha.
- Apartment buildings: many have stairs and no large lift; before arrival we ask about the floor and stair width so we bring the right number of workers.
- Unloading in rain: we do not take sofas out of the truck in the rain; we wait for it to ease or carry pieces straight into the covered building entrance.
- After unwrapping: we remove the covers inside the flat and leave leather sofas uncovered to breathe before the cushions go back on.
- Villages and farms: the mountain roads around the city are steep and winding, and the last leg may need a smaller truck; the team checks access with the receiver.

Tips before moving your apartment
- Photograph the sofas from every side before wrapping so you can compare when they are opened.
- Keep a small bag with you holding documents, medicines and phone chargers; do not put it on the truck.
- Empty and dry the fridge the day before, and drain the washing machine.
- Write the Khamis room name on each carton, not the Ajman one.
- Tell the Ajman building management your move-out date and check the flat handover terms so nothing holds you up.
- Ask the team about optional insurance if the furniture includes valuable pieces.
