If you need a shipping company from Fujairah to Jordan to move your home, car or goods from the East Coast to Amman, Aqaba or Irbid, Al Basmah International Shipping collects from your door in Fujairah, Dibba, Masafi or Mirbah, packs your furniture for Jordan’s cold, rainy winter, and drives it overland through Saudi Arabia in customs transit to the Al Omari border and on to your address, in roughly 6 to 10 days depending on the city. Large loads and full containers can go by sea to Aqaba port, and urgent items by air to Queen Alia International Airport. Send the details on WhatsApp +971557643821 and you will get the price.

Packing for Jordan’s winter
- Furniture leaves Fujairah’s humid air and arrives in a cold, wet winter, so we pack with one layer that blocks water and one that absorbs shocks, and we never trap moisture inside plastic.
- By road through Saudi Arabia in transit, then the Al Omari border: Amman, Zarqa and Salt in about 6–9 days; Aqaba and Irbid in about 7–10 days.
- Large loads and full containers can sail to Aqaba in about 2–3 weeks plus clearance.
- Small cars (hatchbacks and sedans) travel in an enclosed carrier once the team has checked Jordan’s model-year rules.
- The price depends on volume, city and type of shipment: send the details on WhatsApp and you will get the price.
What do we ship from Fujairah to Jordan?
We ship complete households and apartments, small loads of boxes and suitcases, parcels, palletised commercial goods, appliances and cars from Fujairah to Jordan. Most people who contact us from the East Coast are a Jordanian family heading home after years of work in the UAE, an employee relocating to Amman or Aqaba, or a trader sending goods to a Jordanian importer.
Full household
Bedrooms, majlis seating, tables and kitchen appliances, dismantled, packed and loaded at home, then delivered and reassembled in Jordan.
Small loads
Boxes, suitcases and one or two appliances added to a shared truck, so you pay only for your own volume.
Commercial goods
Numbered pallets and cartons with a commercial invoice, packing list and certificate of origin, delivered to the importer.
Cars
Hatchbacks, sedans and family cars in an enclosed carrier, after a check against Jordan’s import conditions.
If your shipment is a mix, say a household plus a car, we plan it as one job: the furniture in a truck, the car in a carrier, and arrival dates close together so you do not wait in Jordan twice.
Pickup areas in Fujairah and the East Coast
We collect across Fujairah city and its surroundings: Al Faseel, Sakamkam, Al Mraishid, Al Gurfa, the Hamad Bin Abdullah Road and old town area, Fujairah Free Zone and the industrial area. We also go north to Dibba Al Fujairah, inland to Masafi on the mountain road, along the coast to Mirbah, Qidfa and Bidiyah, and we collect from nearby Kalba and Khor Fakkan on the same coast.
After loading, the truck crosses the Hajar Mountains on Sheikh Khalifa Road towards Dubai and then heads west past Abu Dhabi, which adds around two hours compared with a Dubai pickup. That is why Fujairah collections are usually booked early in the morning, so the load makes the shared truck’s loading slot at the warehouse. If your building in Al Faseel or on the corniche has a lift, we book it with the watchman a day ahead; carrying a whole home down the stairs in coastal humidity takes longer and is hard on both the furniture and the crew.
From a hot, humid coast to a cold, rainy winter: why packing differs
Packing for a Fujairah-to-Jordan move has to protect against rain and against trapped humidity at the same time. Furniture in Fujairah lives in humid air most of the year. When it is wrapped straight in plastic and then travels through cold nights in northern Saudi Arabia into an Amman winter, moisture condenses on the inside of the wrap and drips onto wood and fabric. What we see when people pack it themselves: marks on the wood, a damp smell in the mattresses, and sometimes light mould on the back of a sofa.
Wood and wardrobes
We wipe the wood and let it dry, then wrap it first in fabric blankets or corrugated card that touches the wood and absorbs any moisture, and only then in an outer stretch layer that keeps rain off if delivery day in Amman or Irbid turns wet. Doors and drawers are fixed with tape that leaves no marks, and corners get card protectors.
Electronics and appliances
TVs, fridges and washing machines are disconnected the day before; the washer is drained and its drum locked, and the fridge is left open until completely dry. TVs go into their original box or a reinforced framed carton, with a silica pack inside the wrap. We tell every customer the same thing: when an appliance reaches Amman in winter, let it sit at room temperature for a few hours before switching it on, because running it cold can damage its circuit boards through condensation.
Mattresses, sofas and carpets
Mattresses go into thick sealed bags once we are sure they are dry, sofas get a blanket and then plastic, and carpets are rolled, never folded, so the pile does not crack. Heaters and winter blankets, which many people take with them to Jordan, go into separate boxes marked “open first”, because the first winter night in an Amman home needs them before anything else.
Dismantling wardrobes and beds before loading
For Jordan we almost always dismantle large wardrobes, beds and dining tables, for two reasons: the volume shrinks so the price drops, and flat pieces pass easily up the narrow stairwells of Amman buildings. Screws and hinges go into numbered bags taped to the piece itself, and mirrors are taken off dressing tables and given their own wooden or reinforced card crates.
A large sliding wardrobe is the piece most likely to suffer if shipped assembled; its weight flexes the frame over a long, vibrating road, and the doors arrive out of line. On delivery, the crew reassembles what it took apart and tests the drawers and doors in front of you.
The road route from Fujairah to Jordan
Road freight from Fujairah to Jordan crosses Saudi Arabia in customs transit: the load is sealed, passes through Saudi territory without being cleared there, and is cleared only in Jordan. The route in order:
- Fujairah over the Hajar Mountains to Dubai, then west along the Abu Dhabi coastal road.
- Al Ghuwaifat on the UAE side and Al Batha on the Saudi side, where the transit is sealed.
- Riyadh, then north through Qassim and Al Jouf.
- Al Haditha on the Saudi side and Al Omari on the Jordanian side, where Jordanian customs begins.
- From Al Omari to Amman and Zarqa, south to Aqaba, or north to Irbid and Mafraq.
The total distance from Fujairah is roughly 2,500 to 2,700 km. Because the load crosses two countries before Jordan, the paperwork must be complete before the truck leaves; any gap found at a border means the whole truck waits. For more on the Saudi leg of the road, see our guide to shipping from Fujairah to Saudi Arabia.
Transit times from Fujairah to Jordanian cities
A road shipment from Fujairah to Amman takes about 6 to 9 days door to door including clearance, and about 7 to 10 days to Aqaba and Irbid. These are approximate: a shared load leaves when the truck fills, while a dedicated truck leaves on the date you choose.
| City in Jordan | Approx. time by road | Note from Fujairah |
|---|---|---|
| Amman | 6–9 days | Hilltop districts may need a smaller truck for the last stretch |
| Zarqa and Salt | 6–9 days | Salt is a city of slopes; Zarqa is easier to reach |
| Irbid and Mafraq | 7–10 days | Usually delivered after Amman on the same route |
| Madaba and Karak | 7–10 days | Karak is in the south; the date is agreed in advance |
| Aqaba | 7–10 days | By road south from Al Omari, or by sea for full containers |
A practical note: Eid and public holidays bring heavier traffic at the borders, so if your travel date is near a holiday, start arranging well before it.
Road or sea to Aqaba for big loads?
For ordinary furniture and household goods, road is faster and simpler. For a full container, such as a large villa with a car or heavy commercial cargo, sea freight to Aqaba port can work out better value. The container is loaded in Fujairah, moved to Jebel Ali or Khalifa Port, and sails via the Red Sea to Aqaba in about 2 to 3 weeks, plus port handling and clearance, then travels by road to the city.
| Factor | Road through Saudi Arabia | Sea to Aqaba |
|---|---|---|
| Approx. time | 6–10 days | 2–3 weeks sailing + handling and clearance |
| Best for | Homes, flats, small loads, cars | Full containers and heavy commercial cargo |
| Delivery | Straight to the door | From the port, then by road to the city |
| Best for Aqaba when | Medium and small shipments | The receiver is in Aqaba and the load fills a container |
The choice depends on your real volume in cubic metres, the type of goods and your date, and the team compares both options in figures before you book. For the full picture across every emirate and route, read the main guide to shipping from the UAE to Jordan.
Air freight from Fujairah to Jordan
Air freight from Fujairah to Jordan suits urgent, light items: documents, a suitcase of clothes, spare parts, trade samples and small devices. We collect the parcel in Fujairah, take it to Dubai, Sharjah or Abu Dhabi airport, and it lands at Queen Alia International Airport in Amman, usually 2 to 4 days door to door including clearance.
Air is charged on actual or volumetric weight, whichever is higher. Volumetric weight = length × width × height in cm ÷ 6000. A 60×50×40 cm carton has a volumetric weight of 20 kg even if it actually weighs only 8 kg, which is why bulky, light boxes cost more by air than people expect.
- Air does not suit furniture or large appliances; those belong on road or sea.
- Lithium batteries, liquids and perfumes are restricted on air freight, so ask the team before packing.
- Documents and small personal items are the most common air shipments on this route.
Car shipping from Fujairah to Jordan
We ship cars from Fujairah to Jordan in enclosed carriers by road, so they arrive clean of road dust and protected from stones. Most cars from the East Coast are the small hatchbacks and sedans that employees drive, and these go into the enclosed carrier strapped by the wheels, with nothing rubbing against the body.
Before any booking, the team checks your car’s model year, specification, engine and fuel type against Jordan’s current import rules, because Jordan sets conditions on imported cars and its car taxes are high and vary with engine and fuel type. That check saves you from shipping a car that may be refused or that carries charges you had not counted on. If you are sending a sea container to Aqaba with furniture, the car can travel inside the same container.
- UAE registration (ownership) in your name.
- Export certificate and plate cancellation from the traffic department.
- Copy of the owner’s passport.
- The car empty of personal belongings: no boxes in the boot or on the seats.
Documents for shipping to Jordan
Personal effects and used furniture
A returning Jordanian who lived abroad for more than 12 months can usually bring in used personal effects once per family with an exemption. You will need a passport copy, proof that your UAE residence has ended (such as the cancelled residence), a detailed list of the contents and the family book. Foreigners, new items and anything that looks like a commercial quantity are dutiable. The team checks your case before shipping, and we never promise an exemption before customs grants it.
Commercial goods
You need a commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and the Jordanian importer’s details. Goods of UAE origin with a certificate of origin can benefit from the Greater Arab Free Trade Area exemption on customs duty, but Jordan’s general sales tax (16% standard rate) and other fees still apply. Food, medicines, cosmetics and many electrical products need approvals from the Jordan Food and Drug Administration or the Jordan Standards and Metrology Organization before shipping. Jordan Customs processes declarations electronically, so any mismatch between the invoice and the truck stops the shipment.
Cars
Ownership, export certificate and plate cancellation, the owner’s passport, and a check of Jordan’s model-year and specification rules before shipping, as explained above.
Prohibited and restricted items for Jordan
- Prohibited: narcotics, weapons and ammunition without permits, counterfeit goods and gambling equipment.
- Need a prior permit: drones, some medicines and some wireless devices.
- By air: lithium batteries, liquids and perfumes are restricted.
Warning: Do not put medicines, wireless devices or a drone inside furniture boxes without telling the team. One small undeclared item can hold the whole truck at Al Omari and delay other people’s belongings too if the load is shared.
Shipping prices from Fujairah to Jordan
We do not publish a fixed price from Fujairah to Jordan, because one shipment differs widely from the next: a single room in a shared truck is not a whole home in a dedicated truck to Aqaba. Instead, we price your own shipment:
- Full household: send the details on WhatsApp and you will get the price.
- Small loads in a shared truck: send the details on WhatsApp and you will get the price.
- Cars in an enclosed carrier: send the details on WhatsApp and you will get the price.
- Sea container to Aqaba: send the details on WhatsApp and you will get the price.
- Air parcels: send the details on WhatsApp and you will get the price.
The quickest way: photograph the rooms and large pieces, write the city and district in Jordan, and say whether there is a lift at both ends.
What decides the price?
| Factor | How it affects the price |
|---|---|
| Volume in m³ | The biggest factor; dismantling and good packing reduce it |
| Shared or dedicated | Shared is cheaper and waits for the truck to fill; dedicated leaves on your date |
| City in Jordan | Amman is closer than Aqaba or Karak; hilltop districts may need a smaller truck |
| Packing | Rain- and humidity-proof wrapping and crates for mirrors and TVs are added by quantity |
| Documents and clearance | Exempt personal effects differ from dutiable, taxed commercial goods |
| Car type | Its size, the carrier type and what Jordan’s rules require for it |
| Road, sea or air | Air by volumetric weight, sea by container, road by volume and city |
Insurance is optional; ask the team about it if your shipment includes high-value pieces.

- Delivery and reassembly in Jordan; you check the pieces against the list before the crew leaves.
Delivery in Jordan: Aqaba, Amman and other cities
Seaside apartments in Aqaba
Many people moving from Fujairah are used to life by the sea, so they choose Aqaba. Delivering to apartments in coastal compounds and buildings near the beach needs coordination with building management to book the lift and a place for the truck to stop, which we arrange with the receiver the day before. Aqaba stays mild in winter, unlike Amman, but the salty sea air means we keep the wrap on metal and appliances until they are inside the flat.
Amman and its hills
Amman is built on hills, and districts such as Jabal Amman, Tla’ Al Ali and Abu Nseir have very steep streets and long staircases. Sometimes a large truck cannot stop outside the building, so we transfer the load to a smaller truck for the last stretch and the crew carries the rest by hand. That is why we ask the receiver in advance about the street width, the floor, and whether the lift takes a sofa. In winter we avoid delivering in heavy rain or snow where possible, and keep the outer wrap on until each piece is indoors.
Irbid, Zarqa, Salt, Madaba and Karak
Zarqa is easy to reach, Irbid and Mafraq lie in the north close to the Al Omari road, Salt is a city of slopes as tricky as Amman, and Madaba and Karak are south of the capital. Each delivery is arranged by phone directly with the receiver.
The Saudi transit leg and Al Omari
The load is not opened in Saudi Arabia because it is sealed transit, so the first real customs inspection is in Jordan. A precise written contents list is what saves time at Al Omari: the inspector compares the boxes with the list, and the clearer it is, the faster the shipment is released.
Tips before shipping from Fujairah
- Never wrap anything wet or freshly washed; let it dry for a day in Fujairah’s humid air.
- Keep original documents, gold and cash with you, not in the shipment.
- Write on each box the room it will go to in the new home.
- If the home is in Amman, send the team a photo of the street and entrance.
- Do not sell your winter clothes before leaving thinking you will buy there; you will need them in the first week.
The best East Coast move to Jordan starts with a drying day: open the wardrobes and run the air conditioner on dry mode the day before packing, so Fujairah’s humidity does not travel with you into an Amman winter.
If your shipment starts elsewhere on the northern coast, our guides to shipping from Ras Al Khaimah to Jordan and shipping from Sharjah to Jordan, where our Industrial Area 18 branch is, may help.
Frequently asked questions about shipping from Fujairah to Jordan
How long does shipping from Fujairah to Amman take?
About 6 to 9 days door to door by road including clearance. It is approximate and depends on when a shared truck fills or the date of a dedicated truck.
Do you collect from Dibba Al Fujairah and Masafi?
Yes. We collect from Dibba Al Fujairah, Masafi, Mirbah, Qidfa and Bidiyah, from Kalba and Khor Fakkan, and from Fujairah city districts and the Free Zone.
How do you protect furniture from Jordan’s rain and cold?
With an inner layer that absorbs moisture and an outer layer that keeps water out, silica packs for electronics, and drying every piece before wrapping so no condensation forms inside.
Is road or sea better for a big home going to Aqaba?
If the load fills a full container and you have time, sea to Aqaba can be better value, at about 2 to 3 weeks sailing plus clearance. For smaller loads, road is faster.
Can I ship my hatchback to Jordan?
Yes, in an enclosed carrier, once the team has checked its model year and specification against Jordan’s current rules, because car taxes there are high and vary with engine and fuel type.
Will I pay duty on my used furniture?
A returning Jordanian who lived abroad for more than 12 months is usually exempt once per family with specific documents; foreigners and new items are dutiable. The team checks your case before shipping.
