Shipping Company from Dubai to Khobar +971557643821: Office and Business Relocation and Sports Car Shipping to Khobar’s Towers

If you need a shipping company from Dubai to Khobar to move your office or whole business, or a sports car that needs an enclosed carrier, the usual way is by road: we collect from your address in Dubai, the truck crosses Al Ghuwaifat and then Al Batha, and reaches Khobar in about 2 to 4 days including clearance. Al Basmah International Shipping works from its Deira branch on Port Saeed Street, takes orders on WhatsApp +971557643821 around the clock, and sends you an update at every stage until the last box is inside your new office in Khobar.

What we ship from Dubai to Khobar

Most requests on this lane come from companies opening a branch in the Eastern Province or moving their whole base, and from staff relocating with their job who bring a home’s furniture and a car. So we treat the shipment as a small project: what leaves first, what must arrive first, and where everything goes in Khobar.

• Office contents: staff desks and task chairs, meeting tables, metal cabinets, partitions and reception furniture.
• Archives and files: numbered, sealed file crates, archive cabinets and confidential documents.
• IT equipment: desktops and monitors, large printers, small servers and network racks, and other company devices.
• Commercial goods and equipment: samples, showroom stock, or operating equipment for a new Khobar branch.
• Relocating staff’s household goods: a full apartment or villa as a dedicated or shared load.
• Cars: sports cars and coupes in an enclosed carrier; sedans and SUVs on an open carrier.
• Small parcels: cartons, documents and personal items by road, or by air when urgent.

Office and business relocation from Dubai to Khobar

An office move differs from a home move in one way: every day the work stops costs money. So we don’t start with the truck, we start with a schedule. We ask for the current floor plan and the Khobar layout if you have it, agree the dismantling, loading and set-up days, and map each department to a room or floor in the new premises.

Inventory and labelling by department

Before loading day we walk the office with your contact person and list every item. Each department gets a label colour, say blue for finance and green for sales, and every box carries the department number and the desk or room number in Khobar. The unloading crew then knows where each box goes without asking anyone, and each employee arrives to find their things at their desk.

• One label on top and one on the side, so it can be read when boxes are stacked.
• A serial number for every box on the list, so you know at delivery if anything is missing.
• Each employee’s personal items in a box with their name, kept apart from department items.

Desks, cabinets and heavy furniture

Large workstations and meeting tables are taken apart, and the screws go into numbered bags tied to the piece itself. Metal cabinets are emptied, wrapped in moving blankets and strapped inside the truck. Glass tops get a cardboard frame and corner guards, and chairs are covered in plastic and stacked so nothing presses on the backrest or armrests.

IT equipment and servers

Devices worry companies most, and they do need care. We ask for a data backup before dismantling, then each device is packed with its cables in one bag carrying its number. Monitors go back into their original boxes if you kept them, or into padded cartons. Small servers and network racks travel upright and secured, with a photo of the connections taken before unplugging so set-up in Khobar is quick. UPS units contain batteries, so they stay on the road shipment and never go by air.

Weekend moves to avoid downtime

The way most companies prefer: the Dubai office works until the last working day, we start dismantling and loading that evening and over the weekend, and the truck leaves straight away. In about 2 to 4 days it reaches Khobar, and your team there starts with desks ready. For a large office we split the move into two phases: archives and furniture that isn’t used daily first, then staff workstations the following weekend, so your clients never lose a day of service.

Archives and confidential files

Archive crates are closed in front of you, sealed with tape carrying their number, and logged on the list. They are not opened on the way unless customs asks for an inspection, and your company representative is told if that happens. Our advice: keep sensitive originals such as contracts and official records with a member of staff who carries them personally, and ship copies and the old archive on the truck.

If the company is also sending goods or another branch to other Saudi cities, the general details are in the Dubai to Saudi Arabia shipping guide.

Pickup areas in Dubai

We collect from any address in Dubai and fit the timing to each building’s rules; most commercial towers set hours for the service lift and loading bay, so we request the move permit from building management before the date. Areas we collect from most often:

• Business districts: Business Bay, DIFC, Sheikh Zayed Road, Jumeirah Lakes Towers, Deira and Port Saeed, Bur Dubai.
• Free zones: Jebel Ali Free Zone, Dubai Airport Free Zone, Dubai Media City and Dubai Internet City, Dubai Silicon Oasis, Dubai South.
• Warehouses and industrial areas: Al Quoz, Al Qusais, Ras Al Khor, Jebel Ali Industrial.
• Residential areas: Dubai Marina, Al Barsha, Jumeirah, Arabian Ranches, Mirdif, Al Warqa, Dubai Sports City, Jumeirah Village Circle.

For a small shipment you can drop it at the Deira branch on Port Saeed Street, which saves the collection charge.

The road route from Dubai to Khobar

The truck leaves Dubai heading west through Abu Dhabi to the Al Ghuwaifat border post on the UAE side, then Al Batha on the Saudi side, where clearance runs electronically through the Fasah platform. After Al Batha it heads to Al Ahsa (Hofuf), then north on the eastern highway to Dammam and Khobar. The distance is roughly 850 to 950 km depending on the pickup point in Dubai and the delivery address in Khobar.

• Dedicated truck: leaves on the date you choose, the natural choice for a full office move.
• Shared load: cheaper for a few boxes or pieces, but may wait a few extra days until the truck fills.
• Truck sizes: small closed dyna (about 3 tons), 5-ton and 7-ton dynas, 10-ton lorry, closed trailers of 12 to 13.6 m, plus enclosed and open car carriers.

A mid-sized office of 15 to 25 staff usually needs a 10-ton lorry or a closed trailer, while a five-person office usually fits in a 7-ton dyna. We confirm the size after seeing the list or photos, because archives and metal cabinets take more space than people expect.

Transit times from Dubai to Khobar and nearby cities

These times are approximate for a dedicated truck after loading and include clearance at Al Batha when the documents are complete. A shared load may need a few extra days.

Air freight from Dubai to Khobar

When the company needs something in Khobar within a day or two, such as devices for a new starter, documents and samples for a meeting, or an urgent spare part, we fly it from Dubai airport to King Fahd International Airport in Dammam and deliver it to Khobar by road. It usually takes one to two days including clearance.

• Suits: small parcels, laptops without loose batteries, documents, samples and spare parts.
• Doesn’t suit: office furniture and cabinets; they are heavy and bulky and very costly by air.
• Restricted by air: loose lithium batteries and UPS units, liquids and perfumes.
• How it’s charged: actual weight or volumetric weight, whichever is higher; volumetric weight = length × width × height in cm ÷ 6000.

Example: a 60 × 50 × 40 cm carton has a volumetric weight of 20 kg even if it actually weighs only 8 kg, so we keep cartons as small as possible for air. Send the dimensions and weight on WhatsApp and get your price.

Sports car shipping from Dubai to Khobar

We don’t put sports cars and coupes on an open carrier. They travel in an enclosed carrier that protects them from dust, gravel and road sun, and they are loaded on a low-angle ramp because their front splitters sit close to the ground and can scrape a standard ramp. Inside, the car is strapped by the wheels, not the body, and we photograph it from every side before loading and send you the photos.

• Car age: imported used passenger cars must not be more than 5 years old from the model year, counted back and excluding the current year.
• Documents: vehicle registration, the export certificate and plate cancellation from Dubai’s RTA, and the owner’s passport and ID.
• Before handover: the car empty of personal belongings, minimal fuel, and a spare key if you have one.
• Special cases: modified cars or cars with non-original exhausts and systems are checked with the team before booking.

For an ordinary family sedan or SUV, the open multi-car carrier is the cheaper option. When an employee moves home and car together, we time the car to arrive around the same days as the furniture.

Packing for Khobar’s humidity

Khobar is on the coast, and its summers are hot and very humid. Humidity does less harm on the road than when furniture sits wrapped for days in a closed room after arrival. So we pack against both knocks and moisture, and recommend unwrapping within a few days of delivery.

• Wood and desks: moving blankets then plastic, with drawers held by tape that leaves no mark.
• Devices: padded cartons with moisture-absorbing sachets inside each device box.
• Paper archives: strong file crates closed tight, never open plastic bags.
• Glass and artwork: a reinforced cardboard frame and corner guards, or a wooden crate for large pieces.
• Chairs and sofas: a full plastic cover against dust and rubbing.

A tip from the field: photograph device and network connections before unplugging, and write each device’s number on its cables. Those few minutes save a full working day in Khobar.

Documents for shipping from Dubai to Khobar

Office or company contents (commercial shipment)

When a company moves its furniture, equipment and stock to Khobar, the shipment is treated as commercial. The Saudi consignee needs a commercial registration, and the shipment needs a commercial invoice, a packing list and a certificate of origin. Many consumer products need a SABER certificate, and food, cosmetics and medicines have SFDA requirements. Goods of UAE (GCC) origin with a GCC certificate of origin are exempt from customs duty, and Saudi VAT of 15% applies on imports. Clearance runs electronically through Fasah at Al Batha.

Personal effects and used household goods

For an employee moving home: a passport copy, the owner’s Saudi ID or iqama or residence visa, and a detailed contents list in Arabic or English. New items in commercial quantities are dutiable.

Cars

Vehicle registration, the export certificate and plate cancellation from Dubai’s RTA, the owner’s passport and ID, and the age rule above.

Prohibited and restricted items

• Prohibited: narcotics, alcohol, pork products, weapons and ammunition without permits, counterfeit goods, gambling tools.
• Need a prior permit: drones and some medicines.
• Restricted: soil and plants, so leave the office plants out of the truck.

Dubai to Khobar shipping prices start from

The final price depends on volume, weight, city, packing and documents. For a full office we need the list or a video walk-through, then we send an itemised price: dismantling, packing, transport and set-up.

What raises or lowers the cost of an office move?

• Load size: the number of desks, cabinets and boxes sets the truck size.
• Dismantling and assembly: large linked workstations need more time and crew.
• Floors and lifts: a tower with a time-limited service lift means longer working hours.
• Out-of-hours work: night or weekend loading is arranged in advance.
• Shipping type: dedicated or shared truck, road or air.
• Documents: commercial shipments needing extra certificates take more clearance time and cost.

The biggest saving we see comes from clearing out old furniture and unneeded archives before the move, not after. What you won’t need in Khobar, you shouldn’t pay to ship.

Delivery in Khobar: King Fahd Road towers, Al Ulaya and the districts

Many companies rent offices in the commercial towers along King Fahd Road and in and around Al Ulaya. These buildings have rules: set service-lift hours, a loading bay at the back or underground, and sometimes floor and corridor protection before the crew enters. We ask for the building management contact and agree the arrival time and permitted truck size; if a large truck can’t enter the loading bay, we transfer the load to a smaller dyna near the building.

• Districts we deliver to regularly: Al Ulaya, Al Aqrabiyah, Al Thuqbah, North and South Al Rakah, Al Hizam Al Dhahabi, Al Khobar Al Shamaliyah, Al Khobar Al Janubiyah, Al Yarmouk, Al Bandariyah, Al Jisr, Al Rawabi, Al Hamra, Al Corniche, Al Aziziyah, Al Sheraa, Al Lulu.
• Dhahran and Half Moon Bay: offices and homes; residential compounds need gate access arranged in advance and sometimes a smaller truck inside.
• Placing inside the premises: boxes go out by department colour, desks are assembled, and empty cartons are taken away on request.

The King Fahd Causeway to Bahrain starts at the edge of Khobar and is a landmark drivers know, but it isn’t part of this route; your shipment enters through Al Batha directly.

Road or sea? For offices, homes and cars, road remains the usual way. Large commercial loads and full containers can go by sea from Jebel Ali to King Abdulaziz Port in Dammam, next to Khobar, and we truck them on to the warehouse. Dammam details are in the Dubai to Dammam shipping guide.

Choosing a shipping company for your office move: tips and warnings

Ask before you book: does the price include dismantling and assembly? Who deals with building management in Dubai and Khobar? Is the truck dedicated or shared? Who prepares the customs documents? Clear answers to these questions tell you a lot.

• Be wary of a price given without anyone seeing the list or photos; an office move can’t be priced by guesswork.
• Don’t accept loading without a numbered list signed by both sides.
• Ask the team about optional insurance for devices and valuable items.
• Leave a spare day between the shipment’s arrival and the new office’s opening.
• Keep staff’s essential laptops and passwords with a responsible person, not in the boxes.
