What do we ship from Sharjah to Madinah?

The short answer: anything allowed into Saudi Arabia, from a single carton to a full truck. In practice, most of what we move from Sharjah to Madinah falls into two groups: traders’ stock heading to clothing, abaya, fabric and perfume shops in Madinah, and the belongings of families and employees relocating there, often with a car or two.

• Ready-made garments, abayas and shawls: packed in numbered cartons by size and colour, or on hangers in wardrobe boxes for pieces that should not be folded.
• Fabric bolts and rolls: wrapped in heat-resistant film and loaded flat so the edges do not crease.
• General shop goods: accessories, homeware, gifts and sewing supplies, shipped with their commercial documents.
• Perfumes, incense and cosmetics: by road only, since liquids and perfumes are restricted by air, and cosmetics must meet SFDA requirements.
• Furniture and appliances: bedrooms, sofas, kitchens, fridges and washing machines, dismantled and wrapped.
• The family car: minivan, SUV or sedan, on an enclosed or open carrier.
• Small parcels: gifts, clothes and personal items by road from 45 AED.

Shipping garments, fabrics and shop goods to Madinah

A trader supplying a Madinah shop from Sharjah cares about two things: that the stock arrives complete, with no missing cartons, and that it arrives before the selling season, not after it. So we handle shop loads differently from house moves. We count the cartons at pickup in front of you or your representative, mark each one with its number and the receiving shop’s name, and check them against the packing list before the truck is closed.

Documents a trader needs

Commercial goods need a commercial invoice, a packing list and a certificate of origin. Goods of UAE origin with a GCC certificate of origin are exempt from customs duty, while Saudi VAT of 15% still applies on imports. Many consumer products need a conformity certificate through the SABER platform before they can enter the Saudi market, and the consignee in Madinah needs a commercial registration. Send us a photo of the invoice and the type of goods on WhatsApp before loading and we will tell you whether a SABER certificate or anything else is needed, rather than you finding out with the truck parked at the border.

Why we push for early shipping

Madinah clothing shops sell most during Ramadan, before the Eids and at the peak of the visiting seasons, and those are exactly the periods when heavy-truck entry into central Madinah tightens and the border gets busier. Stock that leaves Sharjah two weeks before the rush arrives and goes onto the shelves calmly; stock that leaves at the last minute may wait for an entry window or a transfer to a smaller truck. Our practical advice: book the shipping date with the team as soon as your order from the factory or supplier is complete.

Shared truck or a dedicated truck for the shop?

If the order is a few cubic metres, a shared truck is cheaper, starting from 90 AED per cubic metre, but it may wait a few extra days to fill. If the stock is large or tied to an opening date or a season, a dedicated truck (5-ton or 7-ton dyna, 10-ton lorry or a 12–13.6 m closed trailer) leaves on the date you choose. For a dedicated truck, send the details on WhatsApp and get your price.

Pickup areas in Sharjah

We collect from any address in Sharjah, and the driver coordinates with you on WhatsApp before arriving. These are the areas we collect from most for Madinah loads:

• Al Nahda and Al Taawun: tower apartments and relocating families; we check truck parking and lift bookings with building management in advance.
• Al Khan and Al Majaz: older and newer apartments and villas, often family homes with book collections.
• Muwaileh: family villas and apartments, and the starting point for many car shipments.
• Sharjah Airport International Free Zone (SAIF Zone): company goods that need free-zone exit documents before loading.
• Hamriyah Free Zone: larger commercial loads, usually on a closed trailer.
• Industrial areas and traders’ warehouses: including Industrial Area 18, where our branch is, so you can bring your goods yourself for sorting and packing.

If your destination is another Saudi city, see the guide to shipping from Sharjah to Saudi Arabia, which covers the other cities in detail.

The road route from Sharjah to Madinah

The load travels by road roughly along this route. The distance from Dubai is about 1,900 km, and from Sharjah it is close to that:

1. Pickup from your Sharjah address or from the Industrial Area 18 branch, then sorting, packing and loading.
2. West through the UAE to the Al Ghuwaifat border.
3. The Saudi Al Batha border, with electronic clearance through the Fasah platform.
4. Al Ahsa (Hofuf), then Riyadh.
5. From Riyadh north-west via Qassim or the Riyadh–Madinah highway.
6. Arrival in Madinah and delivery in your district; a smaller truck may do the last leg if the address is in a restricted area.

The same road serves Riyadh, so if part of your stock is for a Riyadh branch the load can be split; see shipping from Sharjah to Riyadh.

How long does shipping from Sharjah to Madinah take?

Door-to-door road shipping takes about 3 to 5 days including clearance, and a shared truck may wait a few extra days to fill. The times in the table are approximate and change with border pressure and seasons:

Air freight from Sharjah to Madinah

Air freight is for urgent items only: fabric samples a trader wants to see before placing a big order, documents, garments for a specific customer order, or personal items that cannot wait. It flies from Sharjah, Dubai or Abu Dhabi airport to Prince Mohammad bin Abdulaziz International Airport in Madinah, or to King Abdulaziz Airport in Jeddah and then by road, and usually takes 1 to 3 days including clearance.

• How it is charged: by actual weight or volumetric weight (L × W × H in cm ÷ 6000), whichever is higher. A large, light carton of clothes may be charged by volume rather than weight.
• Not suited to air: furniture and large loads.
• Restricted by air: lithium batteries, liquids and perfumes, which we send by road.
• Price: send the weight and dimensions on WhatsApp and get your price.

Sea freight does not suit Madinah because the city is inland, but large commercial containers can go to Jeddah Islamic Port or Yanbu port and continue by road. For that option, send the details on WhatsApp and get your price.

Shipping the family car from Sharjah to Madinah

A family moving from Sharjah to Madinah usually takes a roomy family car with it, a minivan or a seven-seat SUV. For these we recommend an enclosed carrier: it protects the car from dust, flying gravel and sun over 1,900 km, and it arrives clean. Enclosed carriers start from 4,100 AED; on an open multi-car carrier a sedan starts from 2,000 AED and an SUV from 2,750 AED.

Before booking, check the age rule: used passenger cars imported into Saudi Arabia must not be more than 5 years old from the model year, counted back and excluding the current year. If your car is near the limit or is a special case, message the team before doing anything. The car also travels empty: do not put cartons or personal items in it; those go with the furniture.

Packing for the Sharjah–Madinah road

Madinah summers are very hot and the truck crosses a long stretch of desert, so we pack for the heat, not just for the distance:

• Garments and fabrics: poly bags inside each carton to keep out dust and moisture, and wardrobe boxes for premium abayas.
• Perfumes and cosmetics: loaded in the middle of the truck, away from the hot walls, in padded cartons with filler.
• Wooden furniture: bubble wrap then corrugated board, with extra corner protection.
• Appliances: the fridge is emptied and dried a day before, with its doors secured.
• Books and home libraries: small cartons so they do not get too heavy and split.
• Numbering: every carton carries a number and the room or shop name, with a matching list for you and for us.

Clearance is electronic through the Fasah platform at Al Batha, and we prepare the file before the truck reaches the border, provided we receive complete documents.

Sharjah to Madinah shipping prices start from

The final price depends on volume, weight, the district in Madinah, packing and documents. To request a price through the site, use the quote page.

What raises or lowers the cost?

• Actual volume in cubic metres: a dismantled sofa takes roughly half the space of an assembled one.
• Truck type: shared or dedicated, dyna or trailer.
• The Madinah district: delivery in a restricted area may need an extra transfer to a small truck.
• Packing: full wrapping of furniture and appliances costs differently from ready, sealed cartons.
• Documents: commercial goods needing extra certificates take more time and higher clearance costs.
• Season: the pre-Ramadan and peak-season rush increases demand for trucks.
• Floor and lift: tower apartments without a service lift need more labour.

How to ship from Sharjah to Madinah, step by step

1. Send the type of shipment, your Sharjah pickup address and the Madinah district on WhatsApp +971557643821, with photos or a list.
2. You receive the initial price, the right truck type and the documents needed.
3. We set the pickup date, and the driver contacts you before arriving.
4. Packing, numbering and loading in front of you, with the matching list.
5. The clearance file is prepared on Fasah before the truck reaches Al Batha.
6. The team sends you WhatsApp updates when the truck leaves, at the border and as it approaches Madinah.
7. Delivery to your address; count and match the cartons before signing.

Delivery inside Madinah

Delivering in Madinah has its own rules. Heavy-truck entry into central Madinah is restricted, and restrictions tighten during Ramadan and the Hajj and Umrah peak, so we schedule the delivery around them, and a smaller truck that gets into the district easily may handle the last part of the trip.

• Shops: we prefer delivering before the shop opens or at a quiet time so the street is not blocked, and the receiver counts the cartons by number.
• Al Aziziyah, Shuran, Al Awali and Quba: residential districts that medium trucks usually reach without trouble.
• Al Iskan, Al Khalidiyah, Al Uyun, Al Azhari, Bani Harithah, Sultanah, Al Rawabi, Al Jamiah, Al Hijrah, Al Aqool and Al Anabis: we agree the street entrance and parking spot with the receiver a day ahead.
• Farms: Madinah is surrounded by date-palm farms and black volcanic basalt fields (harrat), and some farm roads are unpaved; send the map location in advance.
• Dates and food: food shipments must meet SFDA requirements, so ask before you buy.

Many Sharjah traders split their stock between Madinah, Makkah and Jeddah; see shipping from Sharjah to Jeddah and shipping from Sharjah to Makkah, or the wider picture in shipping from the UAE to Madinah.

Tips before you ship

If it is shop stock, photograph every carton open before sealing it, and keep the packing list on your phone. Those photos settle any question at delivery and help with clearance if a particular item is queried.

• Start with the documents before the packing; the truck will not wait for a certificate nobody has applied for.
• Do not send perfumes by air, and do not pack them next to appliances.
• Ask the team about optional insurance if the goods are high value.
• Tell us if the receiver in Madinah is someone else, and put their name and number on the list.
• If the shop has a fixed opening date, a dedicated truck is safer than a shared one.
