Shipping Company from Fujairah to Makkah +971557643821: Home Appliances, Furniture and Car Shipping

Looking for a shipping company from Fujairah to Makkah? Your shipment goes by road: it crosses the Hajar mountains from the east coast to the westbound highway, exits the UAE at Al Ghuwaifat, enters Saudi Arabia at Al Batha, runs through Al Ahsa and Riyadh, then heads west through the Taif area and down into Makkah. That is about 2,000 km or a little more, and door to door it takes about 3–5 days including clearance. Al Basmah International Shipping moves home appliances, furniture, cars and goods from Fujairah and delivers them to your district in Makkah.

What do we ship from Fujairah to Makkah?

Most requests on this route come from families and employees relocating from the UAE east coast to Makkah with a full home or part of one. In those moves the appliances are the pieces most likely to get damaged, so this guide starts with them. Besides homes, we ship goods for Makkah shops, supplies for hotels and furnished apartments, private cars and small parcels.

• Home appliances: washing machines, dryers, fridges and freezers, ovens and cookers, dishwashers, air conditioners once dismantled, water heaters.
• Household furniture: bedrooms, majlis and sofas, dining tables, wardrobes, books and kitchenware, children’s things.
• Cars: sedans, SUVs and family vans, on an open or enclosed carrier.
• Commercial goods: packaged food and dates, clothing and abayas, household goods, spare parts for shops and distributors in Makkah.
• Hospitality supplies: beds and mattresses, linen, room fridges, kettles, reception furniture for hotels and furnished apartments.
• Parcels and equipment: small parcels by land, workshop tools and light equipment.

Where do we collect in Fujairah?

We come to your exact address, whether it is a flat, a traditional house or a warehouse. Mountain roads in some villages are too tight for a big truck, so we send a small dyna to shuttle your things to the main truck on the main road. These are the areas we collect from most:

We also collect from nearby Kalba and Khor Fakkan when the destination is Makkah. If you are heading to another Saudi city, see the Fujairah to Saudi Arabia shipping guide.

The road from Fujairah to Makkah

This trip crosses the Arabian Peninsula from roughly the Gulf of Oman to the Hijaz. It starts in the mountains, ends with the climbs and descents between Taif and Makkah, and has a long desert highway in between. That is why securing appliances inside the truck matters more here than on shorter routes.

1. Loading in Fujairah in the morning, then over the Hajar mountains on the Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed road or the Masafi–Dhaid road.
2. The westbound highway through Abu Dhabi and Al Dhafra to the Al Ghuwaifat crossing on the UAE side.
3. Al Batha on the Saudi side: inspection and electronic clearance through the Fasah platform.
4. Al Ahsa (Hofuf), then Riyadh.
5. West toward the Hijaz via the Taif area, then down to Makkah.
6. Entry into the city during the hours trucks are allowed, and delivery in your district.

Makkah sits about 80 km inland from Jeddah, so if part of your load is going to Jeddah we deliver it on the same trip. For Jeddah on its own, see shipping from Fujairah to Jeddah, and for the capital see shipping from Fujairah to Riyadh.

How long does shipping from Fujairah to Makkah take?

Door to door, a road shipment needs about 3–5 days under normal conditions, including clearance at Al Batha. The table shows approximate times for Makkah and the cities around it:

A shared truck may wait a few days until it is full; a dedicated truck leaves on the date you choose. In peak seasons such as Ramadan and Hajj, truck access to central Makkah is tighter, so we give you a realistic delivery date before loading rather than an optimistic one.

How do we prepare home appliances for the trip to Makkah?

An appliance that arrives broken was usually not damaged on the road but before it was loaded: water left in the washer, a fridge closed while still wet, a drum swinging freely because the transit bolts were never fitted. Here is what we ask of you and what we do ourselves:

Washing machine and dryer

A front loader has holes in the back for the transit bolts that lock the drum. If you still have the original bolts, fit them; if they are lost, tell us before loading day and we will brace the drum another way. Drain the water from the drain hose and the bottom filter, leave the door open so the drum dries, and then we tape it shut and wrap the machine in blankets and stretch film.

Fridge and freezer

Start emptying the food two days before loading and unplug at least 24 hours ahead so all the ice melts. Clean and dry the inside well: moisture in a closed box for several days in the heat leaves a smell that is hard to remove. Glass shelves and drawers are wrapped separately, and the fridge travels upright. On arrival, leave it standing for a few hours before switching it on.

Gas cooker and oven

The cooker ships without its gas cylinder; cylinders are not loaded on the truck, even empty ones. Close the valve and disconnect the hose, and remove the grates and covers so we can wrap them separately. Glass tops on modern ovens and hobs get stiff cardboard before the film.

Air conditioners and water heaters

A split AC needs a technician to pump the gas down into the outdoor unit and dismantle it before shipping; we then wrap both units and the pipes. Water heaters must be fully drained, or they get heavier and leak onto the rest of the load.

TVs and small appliances

A TV is best in its original box; if that is gone, we use a wooden crate or reinforced carton with corners. Small appliances such as kettles, blenders and vacuums go into cartons labelled by room, with cables and remotes in numbered bags.

Take a photo of the back of each appliance before disconnecting it: the hoses, the cables and where each one goes. It saves a lot of time when you reconnect everything in Makkah.

Packing for a long road and Makkah’s heat

Makkah is hot most of the year, and your shipment spends several days in a closed box. So we choose packing by the type of piece instead of wrapping everything in plastic:

• A blanket or paper layer goes first on wood and leather, with film over it, so the plastic does not stick to the surface in the heat.
• Cardboard corners on tables and wardrobes, and wooden crates for glass, mirrors and marble.
• Heavy appliances are secured low and against the front wall of the truck, with lighter pieces on top.
• Cartons numbered by room, with a contents list you keep a copy of.
• Unloading in Makkah in the morning wherever possible, so appliances and electronics are not left in the sun on the pavement.

Car shipping from Fujairah to Makkah

A sedan on an open carrier starts from 2,000 AED and an SUV on an open carrier from 2,750 AED. On a road of over 2,000 km, with desert dust and the Hijaz sun, we recommend an enclosed carrier for SUVs and newer cars; it starts from 4,100 AED. The car is strapped by the wheels inside the carrier and photographed from every side at loading, and we send you the photos on WhatsApp.

• The car ships empty of personal belongings, so do not pack household cartons inside it.
• Used cars must be no more than 5 years old from the model year, counted back and excluding the current year.
• You need the registration (mulkiya), the export certificate and plate handover from the relevant Fujairah authority, and the owner’s passport or ID.
• Special cases, such as a modified car or one registered to a company, are checked with the team before shipping.

Delivery to hillside apartment buildings in Makkah

Makkah is built among mountains, and many of its residential buildings stand on steep slopes with narrow streets, especially in districts such as Al Hijrah, Al Rusaifah, Batha Quraysh and parts of Al Utaybiyah. A large truck cannot reach every door, and heavy trucks are restricted in the city centre. In those cases we move the load onto a smaller dyna for the last stretch to the building entrance.

• Send us the building’s map location and a photo of the street before arrival.
• Tell us the floor, whether there is a lift and its door size; a large fridge may not fit a small lift and goes up the stairs instead.
• We set unloading for the morning, since the midday heat is hard on the crew and on the appliances.
• In wider districts such as Al Awali, Al Shara’i, Al Naseem and Al Aziziyah access is usually easier.

Shop goods and hotel supplies for Makkah

Makkah’s shops and hotels use large quantities of food, linen and hospitality supplies. We ship these from Fujairah in a dedicated or shared truck and deliver to the warehouse or hotel at the agreed time. Dates and food need SFDA compliance, many consumer products need a SABER certificate, and the consignee in Saudi Arabia needs a commercial registration. Hotel deliveries also need coordination with the hotel on where and when to unload, especially for hotels close to the central area.

Sea freight: when does it suit a shipment to Makkah?

Sea suits large commercial loads that are not urgent, such as containers of building materials or supplies for a whole hotel. The container leaves Jebel Ali or Khalifa port for Jeddah Islamic Port, about 5–7 days of sailing, then port handling and clearance, then a short road leg to Makkah. For a single home, road is still faster and simpler. Ask for the price on WhatsApp with the load details.

Air freight from Fujairah to Makkah via Jeddah

Makkah has no cargo airport, so air freight lands at King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah and we bring it on to Makkah by road. From Fujairah we usually hand urgent shipments over at Sharjah or Dubai airport, sometimes Abu Dhabi depending on flights. It takes about 1–3 days including clearance.

• Good for: documents, samples, spare parts, a small appliance you need as soon as you arrive, a few personal items.
• Not for: large furniture, fridges and washing machines; their weight and size make air far more expensive than road.
• Restrictions: lithium batteries, liquids and perfumes are restricted on air freight, so tell us about them before packing.

Air freight is priced by weight and volume; send the details on WhatsApp and you will get the price.

Documents for shipping from Fujairah to Makkah

Clearance on the Saudi side is electronic through the Fasah platform, and the papers depend on what you ship:

Personal effects for people moving to Makkah

• A copy of the owner’s passport, with a Saudi ID, iqama or residence visa.
• A detailed contents list in Arabic or English; we help you write it while packing.
• The items must be used personal effects; new appliances in their boxes in commercial quantities are dutiable.

Commercial goods

• A commercial invoice (certified when required), packing list and certificate of origin.
• Goods of UAE origin with a GCC certificate of origin are exempt from customs duty; Saudi VAT of 15% applies.
• A SABER certificate for many consumer products, and SFDA requirements for food, cosmetics and medicines.
• A commercial registration for the consignee in Saudi Arabia.

Cars

The registration, the export certificate and plate handover, and the owner’s passport or ID, with used cars no more than 5 years old from the model year.

What cannot be shipped to Makkah?

• Narcotics, alcohol and pork products.
• Weapons and ammunition without permits, counterfeit goods and gambling tools.
• Drones and some medicines need prior permits.
• Gas cylinders and fuel inside generators or lawnmowers; drain them or leave them in the UAE.

Fujairah to Makkah shipping prices start from

The final price depends on volume, weight, the delivery point in Makkah, packing and documents. You can also send your details through the quote page.

• Truck type: shared or dedicated, from a 3-ton dyna up to a 13.6 m trailer.
• Packing: wooden crates for glass and marble add cost but protect the piece.
• Delivery point: hillside districts or those needing a smaller truck for the last leg.

Tips before you ship your appliances from Fujairah

• Do not leave food in the fridge hoping it will arrive cold; it is unplugged the whole way.
• Keep bolts, screws and small parts in one bag tied to the appliance itself.
• If you are moving into a furnished flat or temporary housing in Makkah, ask about storing some items until your permanent home is ready.
• If you have an expensive appliance or valuable piece, ask the team about insurance options before booking.
• Do not set delivery in Makkah for the same day you move in; keep a spare day.

FAQ: shipping from Fujairah to Makkah

How long does shipping from Fujairah to Makkah take?

About 3–5 days door to door by road, including clearance. A shared truck may take a few extra days to fill, and in peak seasons delivery inside Makkah can take longer.

Do I need to fit the transit bolts in my washing machine?

Yes, they stop the drum from shaking all the way. If you no longer have the original bolts, tell us before loading and we will brace the drum another way.

When should I unplug the fridge before shipping?

At least 24 hours ahead, after emptying it, so the ice melts and the inside dries. On arrival, leave it upright for a few hours before switching it on.

Can I ship a gas cooker with its cylinder?

No. The cooker ships on its own with the hose disconnected; the gas cylinder is not carried on the truck, and you can buy a new one in Makkah.

Can the truck reach apartment buildings in Makkah’s hillside districts?

If the street is narrow, steep or access is restricted, we transfer the load to a smaller truck that goes up to the building entrance.

Is there direct air freight to Makkah?

Makkah has no cargo airport. Air freight arrives at King Abdulaziz Airport in Jeddah in about 1–3 days, and we take it on to Makkah by road.

How much does it cost to ship an SUV from Fujairah to Makkah?

From 2,750 AED on an open carrier and from 4,100 AED in an enclosed carrier, which is what we recommend on this long road.

How do I know where my shipment is?

The team sends you WhatsApp updates at each stage: loading, the border, after clearance and before delivery in Makkah.
