Route details and transit time from Qassim to Qatar
There is no direct road from Qassim to Qatar that avoids Riyadh: the truck goes south from Buraidah to the capital, then east to Hofuf in Al-Ahsa, then south-east to the Salwa border. On a shared trip your shipment joins the regular Qatar departures in Riyadh; on a private trip the truck continues without stopping except for rest and procedures.
| Stage | Approx. distance | Approx. time |
|---|---|---|
| Buraidah to Riyadh | about 350 km | 3.5–4 hours |
| Riyadh to Hofuf | about 330 km | 3.5–4 hours |
| Hofuf to Salwa | about 150 km | 1.5–2 hours |
| Salwa and Abu Samra procedures | — | hours to a day |
| Abu Samra to Doha | about 100 km | 1–1.5 hours |
| Total | about 930 km | 2–3 days including procedures |
ℹ️ Why two or three days, not one?
The distance from Qassim to Qatar is nearly double that from Riyadh, and shared shipments pass the consolidation point in Riyadh before continuing. A private truck shortens this, usually arriving within a day and a half to two days.
Shipping prices from Qassim to Qatar
Prices from Qassim to Qatar are the same as from Riyadh, because Qassim shipments take the capital’s road and join its trips: cartons from SAR 135, a bedroom set or small apartment from SAR 1,090, a three-room home from SAR 3,190 and a sedan from SAR 1,650. On a private truck, the Qassim–Riyadh distance is added to the trip price and written in the price message.

Pickup from Buraidah, Unaizah and the rest of Qassim
Homes in Qassim are mostly spacious villas with men’s and women’s majlis, annexes and household storerooms, much of it with heavy wooden furniture. So our service starts with a photo survey or a free visit to set the truck size and crew, and to decide what is worth shipping to a Qatari home that may be smaller.
| City | Pickup note |
|---|---|
| Buraidah | Wide districts and large villas; the survey sets the truck |
| Unaizah | About 30 km from Buraidah; joined to its trips |
| Ar Rass | About 80 km west of Buraidah; pickup by appointment |
| Al Bukayriyah and Al Badai | West of Buraidah; joined to the Buraidah trip |
| Al Mithnab and Riyadh Al Khabra | Southern Qassim; pickup by appointment |
| Al Asyah and An Nabhaniyah | Pickup by appointment according to the schedule |
💡 Load early in the morning
The road from Qassim is long, and early loading lets the truck cover the distance to Riyadh in daylight and catch the Qatar trip or continue without delay.
Shipping Qassim dates to Qatar
Qassim is one of the Kingdom’s best-known date regions, and Qassim Sukkari is in demand in Qatar as a gift and for trade. Many customers send dates to relatives in Doha, and many traders supply Qatari shops during and after the harvest season.
| Shipment type | Method | From | What is needed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gift cartons | Shared freight | SAR 135 per carton | Tight packing and the recipient’s name and number |
| Medium quantities | Per kg over 100 kg | SAR 7.3 per kg | Invoice and certificate of origin |
| Large commercial quantities | Part-load or full truck, refrigerated when needed | SAR 730 per CBM | Invoice, certificate of origin, health certificate and Qatar’s food-safety requirements |
ℹ️ Dates need care in summer
Soft dates suffer from long heat, so we load commercial quantities in the cooler hours, use a refrigerated truck when needed, and keep cartons away from truck walls exposed to the sun.
💡 A certificate of origin saves you duty
Qassim-grown dates with a national certificate of origin are treated in Qatar as a GCC product with no customs duty, while Qatari food-safety checks still apply.
Furniture shipping from Qassim
Qassim furniture moves from Najd’s dry climate to Doha’s coastal humidity over a relatively long distance. So we focus on tight packing, careful load order, and protecting wood and fabrics from humidity on arrival.
- Survey: at your Qassim home or by photos, to set the volume and truck.
- Dismantling: beds, wardrobes, majlis and kitchens on request.
- Packing: blankets and tight wraps for wood and fabrics, bubble wrap for glass, divided cartons for dishes.
- List: a number for each carton, its room in Qatar and its contents.
- Loading: heavy items low, fragile items high, straps between rows.
- Delivery and assembly: in your Qatari home, checking the list before signing.
⚠️ Sort your furniture before shipping
Qassim villas are usually larger than Doha apartments. Compare the new home’s space with your furniture before shipping — every piece that will not fit costs you 930 km of shipping and then storage.
Car shipping from Qassim to Qatar
Your car is loaded in Qassim on a covered carrier and joins the Riyadh carriers heading to Qatar, or travels directly on a private flatbed. No 930 km drive, no queuing yourself at the borders.

| Shared carrier, sedan | SAR 1,650 | 2–4 days | Most cars |

| Enclosed carrier | SAR 3,690 | a day and a half to two days | Luxury and classic cars |
⚠️ Qatar’s car conditions
For import on Qatari plates, a light vehicle must be no more than five years from its date of manufacture, a 5% duty on its value is paid, and export plates are first issued by Qassim Traffic. For temporary entry, a valid registration card and valid Qatari insurance are enough. Either way: fines settled, a bank letter if financed, and an empty car.

How to work out the cost, and the cheapest way
| Case | Calculation | Estimate |
|---|---|---|
| Ten 10 kg gift cartons of Sukkari | 10 × 135 | about SAR 1,350 |
| 500 kg of dates for a Doha shop | 500 × 7.3 | about SAR 3,650 |
| A small apartment from Buraidah with packing | 1,090 + 415 | about SAR 1,505 |
| A three-room home from Unaizah with a car | 3,190 + 1,650 | about SAR 4,840 |
ℹ️ When do cartons become cheaper per kg?
If your cartons to the same address total more than 20 kg, combine them in one shipment to be charged from SAR 13.5 per kg instead of the single-carton price. Above 100 kg, ask for the quantity rate from SAR 7.3 per kg.
The cheapest from Qassim: shared freight via Riyadh if your date is flexible, combining cartons into one shipment, and booking furniture and car together. The fastest: a direct private truck loaded in the morning.
