Day one in Riyadh: dismantling, packing and loading
- Morning: the crew and carpenter arrive and go through the list with you.
- Dismantling: bedrooms, wardrobes and the dining table, each pieceโs fixings in a numbered bag.
- Packing: each room on its own, its cartons carrying its name.
- Loading: heavy items first, glass upright, straps between rows.
- Evening: the truck is sealed, you sign the report and receive the shipment number.
Antiques and valuables: a crate for each piece
- Antiques and statues: soft paper then bubble wrap, inside a foam-lined wooden crate.
- Paintings: corner guards and corrugated card, loaded upright.
- Wall clocks and chandeliers: moving parts removed and wrapped separately.
- Porcelain and crystal: divided cartons, with nothing loaded on top.
- Documentation: a photo and value for each piece on the list before its crate is closed.
Day two: the road and Al Batha Crossing
The truck covers 550 km to Al Batha Crossing in about six hours, crosses to Al Ghuwaifat on a declaration already lodged in Fasah and Mirsal, and then drives 490 km to Dubai. You get an update at each border. A dedicated truck reaches Dubai on the evening of day two or the morning of day three.
Day three in Dubai: unloading, assembly and arranging the furniture
Before the truck arrives, you send a simple plan of your Dubai home: which room takes which cartons, and where the bed, wardrobe and sofas go. The crew arranges by it, so you do not move furniture again after they leave.
- Entry: the move-in permit and the booked service lift.
- Unloading: every carton to the room written on it.
- Assembly: beds, wardrobes and tables.
- Arranging: furniture in its places according to the plan.
- Checking: the list piece by piece, then the report.
- Removing the packing: the crew takes it away.
Moving the car: the pre-shipment inspection
The car ships on a carrier from SAR 1,090 (shared) or SAR 2,275 (dedicated enclosed). Before loading, an inspection report is written: photos of all four sides, the roof and the interior, the odometer reading, the fuel level and any existing scratch. Both parties sign it, and it is checked at delivery in Dubai.
What to prepare before loading day
- In Riyadh: empty the fridge, set aside what you will carry, and reserve a spot for the truck.
- In Dubai: request the move-in permit, book the service lift and send the room plan.
- Documents: ID or Iqama, packing list, the Fasah authorisation, and the tenancy contract or UAE residence permit if requested.
- What is not loaded: documents, gold, cash and medicines, and gas cylinders.
Air freight for what you need on arrival
If you reach Dubai before your household, a box or suitcase arrives by air within 24โ48 hours from SAR 45 per kg.
Customs and insurance
- Used effects: usually exempt for someone relocating.
- New items: 5% of value.
- Insurance: optional, a percentage of the declared value, and recommended for antiques and the car.
- Storage: available if the Dubai home is not ready.
