People shipping from Makkah to Kuwait are not all alike. There is the resident who has lived for years in Al Aziziyah or Al Shawqiyah and whose contract has ended; the Kuwaiti family who came for Umrah and bought prayer rugs, perfumes and gifts that will not fit the airline allowance; the Umm Al Qura University student heading home with books and room furnishings; and the shop owner in Al Otaibiyah supplying a customer in Farwaniya. Each has a different shipment size, set of papers and timeline, and this guide covers them one section at a time.

How does a shipment get from Makkah to Kuwait?

No route links Makkah and Kuwait without passing through the middle of the Kingdom. Most small Makkah consignments, such as suitcases, cartons and the contents of one or two rooms, are first taken by Al Rahwan in a small vehicle to the consolidation point in Jeddah, where they join a closed truck filling up with loads from Jeddah, Makkah and Taif together. A whole household or a commercial load that fills a truck leaves from Makkah itself on the road east towards Riyadh, without going back to Jeddah.

From Riyadh the road turns north, passing Al Majmaah and then Hafar Al Batin on the way to the Al Ruqai crossing. The road distance between Riyadh and Kuwait City is around 640 km, with the long haul from Makkah to Riyadh coming before it. After Al Ruqai the truck crosses to Kuwait’s Al Salmi post, the entry point for all the western cities. Makkah shipments do not use the Al Khafji and Al Nuwaiseeb crossing; that coastal route serves the Eastern Province and Al Ahsa.

Real transit time and what stretches or shortens it

Al Rahwan works on 3 to 5 days for Makkah shipments to Kuwait, starting from the hour the goods are loaded onto the truck. For a whole household, a survey day and a dismantling and packing day come first. What brings a shipment in on day three rather than day five is having the papers complete before the truck reaches the border, travelling in a dedicated truck that waits for nobody, and having a full Kuwaiti address with the recipient at home.

Ramadan, Hajj and the holiday seasons crowd Makkah and make movement difficult in the districts near the Haram, so collection inside the city itself takes longer. If you know you will leave after Eid or at the end of the season, book the collection a few days ahead, so you are not hunting for a vehicle on the busiest days of the year.

Why are Makkah shipments consolidated with Jeddah?

Because most of what goes from Makkah to Kuwait is small or medium: a pilgrim’s suitcases, a student’s cartons, a small flat’s furniture. Booking a whole truck for that raises the cost for no reason, while adding it to a shared trip from Jeddah means paying only for the space used. That is why Makkah’s transit time matches Jeddah’s exactly, 3 to 5 days: it is the same trip, with an hour or two between the cities. Each consignment keeps its own list, papers and recipient even when it shares a truck with others.

Car shipping from Makkah to Kuwait

Your car in Makkah travels to Kuwait on a long multi-deck transporter, covered and with its wheels strapped, and needs no more than two to four days once it is aboard. Most people in Makkah choose the shared transporter, where a sedan costs at least SAR 920 and an SUV SAR 1,100; anyone who wants a transporter for their car alone starts at SAR 1,390, and an expensive car kept inside an enclosed carrier starts at SAR 4,150. Al Rahwan collects the car outside your home in Makkah, or from a nearby car park if your street is too narrow for the transporter.

Papers needed: the registration card, plates, export certificate, the owner’s ID or iqama, a bank letter if the car is on instalments, a signed authority if a relative delivers it for you, and the civil ID of the person collecting it in Kuwait. Before any booking is confirmed, Al Rahwan runs your specific car past Kuwait’s vehicle import rules, so you do not pay to move a car only to find at the border that it carries a requirement you never knew about.

Which transporter suits your car?

• Shared transporter: for the ordinary family car; the most economical, departing once the load is full.
• Dedicated transporter: for a set date, or for a family sending more than one car together.
• Enclosed carrier: for a valuable, sports or classic car that should not face dust and grit for the whole journey.

Before handing over the car in Makkah

Empty the car of all personal belongings and do not turn its boot into an extra carton of gifts or clothes, because cars are inspected at Al Ruqai and Al Salmi and anything undeclared will hold it up. Photograph the body from every side, the cabin and the odometer, leave a little fuel and hand over one key. If the car does not run or sits very low, say so when booking so the lifting can be arranged.

Shipping prices from Makkah to Kuwait

How much does shipping from Makkah to Kuwait cost? The lowest figure you will hear is SAR 37, for a two-kilo parcel; next comes SAR 110 for one of up to ten kilos, then SAR 140 for each pilgrim suitcase or carton of twenty, with a room of furniture from SAR 1,350 and a sedan from SAR 920. All of these are floors; your own price is set once the weight or volume, packing and the pickup and delivery addresses are known.

How does Al Rahwan set the transport price? An Al Rahwan representative inspects the goods, or their photos, to establish the volume and weight of the shipment, the packing materials needed, whether space on a shared truck will do or the job calls for a truck of its own, how many crew are needed to dismantle and load, and where the truck can stand. Things the table leaves out, such as a crate, taking down an AC, warehouse days or cover, get their price once the representative has looked at the goods at no charge, and each one is written into the itemised quote on its own line.

Ready-made sums for common Makkah cases

• Kuwaiti family after Umrah: two suitcases of gifts up to 20 kg each and a perfume parcel up to 10 kg: 140 + 140 + 110 = from SAR 390.
• Resident in Al Aziziyah ending a contract: small two-bedroom flat 1,390 + sedan 920 = from SAR 2,310.
• Umm Al Qura student: one room of furniture 1,350 + a carton of books 140 = from SAR 1,490.
• Family in a villa in Al Naseem with two sedans: the villa at 3,700 and each sedan at 920, so 3,700 + 920 + 920 = from SAR 5,540.
• Gift shop in Al Otaibiyah sending three pallets: 550 + 550 + 550 = from SAR 1,650.

How to save on a Makkah shipment

The most economical route for most Makkah customers is to book part of a truck shared with others, a slot that starts from SAR 1,290, or the carton rate for anyone with only suitcases. Before that, sort the house: cheap furniture that would cost more to move than to replace in Kuwait is sold in Makkah, and books and papers you no longer need are left behind. Booking outside the peak seasons eases collection and lets Al Rahwan add your shipment to the nearest departure. Use air only for what cannot wait.

Compare quotes on the same basis

When comparing two quotes, make sure both run from your door in Makkah to your door in Kuwait, and both include dismantling, packing, clearance at the two crossings and unloading. A lower price that stops at a warehouse in Kuwait and leaves you looking for a van and a carpenter is not cheaper in the end. Ask every company for an itemised quote and compare line by line.

Collection from Makkah districts

Al Rahwan collects from every district of Makkah: Al Aziziyah, Al Shawqiyah, Al Naseem, Al Awali, Al Rusaifah, Al Zahir, Al Sharaye, Al Otaibiyah, Batha Quraish, Kudai, Al Kakiyah, Jarwal, Al Misfalah, Al Hijrah, Al Khalidiyah, Wali Al Ahd and others. Loading day differs from one to the next. The districts near the Haram and the central area are hard for a large truck to enter and become very crowded in season, so goods are shuttled by small vehicle to a point where the truck can wait. Al Sharaye, Al Awali and Wali Al Ahd have wider streets and newer buildings where parking outside is easy.

If you are in a hotel or furnished apartment, tell reception in advance that an Al Rahwan representative will come to collect luggage, and set the time and the handover point in the lobby or car park, since some hotels do not allow crews up to the rooms. Have the suitcases closed and labelled with the recipient’s name and mobile in Kuwait.

Shipping Umrah luggage and gifts from Makkah to Kuwait

This section is for visitors from Kuwait who came for Umrah and will fly home: what you bought in Makkah does not have to travel with you on the plane. Extra suitcases go by road at the carton or suitcase rate, from SAR 140 for up to 20 kg, and arrive at your home in Kuwait within 3 to 5 days. Small gifts go as parcels from SAR 37 up to 2 kg or from SAR 110 up to 10 kg.

Rugs, perfumes and prayer beads: how each is packed

Makkah gifts have a familiar character, and each type has its own packing:

Perfume is the most common question. Many bottles can go by road once declared and wrapped individually, but on a plane, flammable liquids, which include many perfumes, are subject to airline restrictions and are accepted only with approval. Wooden incense goes in its sealed boxes; charcoal and lighters stay in Makkah. Every gift is listed on the contents list by type and quantity, not under the single word “gifts”.

The pilgrim’s carton: an arrangement that eases inspection

Keep each carton to one kind of item where possible: one for rugs, one for clothes, one for perfumes with a count of bottles. If a carton is opened at the border, the officer opens one clearly labelled carton rather than a mixed one that has to be emptied. Mark every carton with its number and with the Kuwaiti recipient’s name and phone, and keep a photo of the contents list on your phone.

Moving residents’ furniture from Makkah to Kuwait

When a family moves from Makkah to Kuwait, Al Rahwan starts with a free survey at home, or from photos if you prefer, producing an inventory of the pieces and their condition and deciding what is dismantled, what is wrapped and what needs a crate. Residents can know their budget early: from SAR 1,350 if it is one room, from SAR 1,390 for a flat of two bedrooms plus majlis and kitchen, from SAR 2,300 once there are three bedrooms and the appliances, and from SAR 3,700 for an entire house or villa.

When does the furniture move begin?

Work begins when you contact Al Rahwan and set a survey date. After the survey you receive the quote; once you agree, a day is fixed for dismantling and packing, followed by loading day. An average home is dismantled and packed in a single day, while a large villa may take two. In the meantime your part is to prepare the papers and the recipient’s details in Kuwait.

Dismantling and packing piece by piece

Bedrooms and wardrobes come apart into numbered panels, with their screws and hinges in bags bearing the same number. Fabric sofas are wrapped in cloth or paper first, then a blanket, then plastic left loose so the fabric can breathe. Leather sofas never touch plastic directly. Glass tables have the glass removed and protected between two rigid boards. Large mirrors and paintings go in made-to-size cartons or a wooden crate, and appliances are emptied, dried and have their doors secured.

Air conditioners and kitchens

No Makkah home is without air conditioning. With a split unit, the technician first traps the refrigerant in the outdoor section, and only then are the pipes undone and the ports plugged. A window unit is removed and packed in a carton of its size. A wooden kitchen is taken down in numbered units, and marble slabs are measured before deciding whether to move them. AC and kitchen removal and refitting are priced after the free survey according to the number of units.

Reassembly and arranging in the new home

In Kuwait the service does not stop at the front door. The Al Rahwan crew unloads the truck, puts each piece in its room according to the inventory, reassembles beds and wardrobes, removes the wrapping and takes the waste away. In apartment blocks and towers the service lift must be booked and building management approval obtained beforehand, so ask the recipient to arrange this a day before the truck arrives.

Handing back the flat in Makkah after the furniture leaves

Many residents tie the shipping date to the date they hand the flat back to the landlord or letting office. Plan the two together: load at least a day before the handover, leaving time to clean the flat, fill the screw holes left by curtains and shelves, and photograph it empty. If you installed air conditioners or a kitchen at your own cost and want to take them, agree it with the landlord before dismantling, and ask the Al Rahwan technician to cap the connections once disconnected. If you are travelling before loading, appoint a relative or friend to attend on work day and sign the inventory on your behalf, and send them a copy of the itemised quote so they know what was agreed.

Part load or dedicated truck?

One or two rooms of furniture fit a part load from SAR 1,290, travelling on the shared Jeddah trip. A whole house, or a family tied to a fixed date, should take a closed truck reserved for them, whose haulage starts at SAR 2,300 before packing and labour, leaving Makkah directly with no unloading in Jeddah, so there is less handling and less chance of scratches.

Shipping cartons and parcels from Makkah

Besides pilgrims and relocating families, people send odd items from Makkah all year round: cartons of clothes for relatives, books, things a family member left behind. These small items follow a simple scale: SAR 37 to start for two kilos, SAR 110 for up to ten, SAR 140 for a carton reaching twenty, and anything heavier is weighed and billed at the road rate, which starts at SAR 6.5 per kilo.

Pick a sturdy carton sized to its contents and stay under 20 kg per carton so it does not split when lifted. Heavy things at the bottom, fragile things wrapped on top, and tape along every edge, not just the middle. Every carton carries a number, a recipient name and a mobile.

Small trade orders and gift shops

Makkah gift, perfume and rug shops selling to customers in Kuwait can send their orders grouped together instead of one by one. Put each item’s name, quantity and value on the invoice, with a packing list saying what is in each carton. For larger volumes a commercial pallet starts from SAR 550; because the goods are for sale, the shop’s papers come into play: a copy of its CR, the sales invoice, a contents sheet per carton, details of the Kuwaiti importer, and sometimes a document proving where the goods were made.

Goods by full or part load

For a trader who fills a truck, a full load (FTL) leaves directly from the Makkah warehouse. A few pallets join a less-than-truckload (LTL) consignment with other shipments. Bulky machinery is quoted only after it has been inspected free of charge, since weight and the means of lifting decide the price. The sea has one lane to Kuwait, Dammam’s King Abdulaziz Port to Shuwaikh or Shuaiba, at SAR 4,600 and up for a twenty-foot box and SAR 7,800 and up for a forty; this suits large commercial volumes only, and a Makkah trader weighs it against a full road truck from the warehouse door.

Air freight from Makkah to Kuwait

Makkah has no airport, so the nearest runway is Jeddah’s King Abdulaziz International, and that is where the cargo takes off for Kuwait. Al Rahwan collects the shipment from your home or hotel in Makkah and takes it to the airport, and it reaches Kuwait within 24 to 48 hours, with the chargeable kilo from SAR 28. It is for light, urgent items: documents, permitted personal medicines in limited quantities, a small device, a gift that must arrive before an occasion.

Airlines do not stop at the scale; they also work out how much room a box takes, by multiplying its three sides in centimetres and dividing by 6,000, and charge whichever number is larger. So a carton 50 long, 40 wide and 30 high is treated as 10 kg even when it holds a prayer rug weighing under 2 kg. So rugs, pillows and anything bulky go by road, and air is for small, relatively heavy items such as prayer beads and documents.

Perfumes and liquids by air

This surprises many pilgrims: perfumes, oud oil, water and oils are all liquids, many perfumes are flammable, and airlines restrict them as cargo. Do not put them in an air carton without telling Al Rahwan, or the whole carton may be turned back. The safer path is to send perfumes by road, declared, and keep the air shipment for dry items.

Documents required for shipping from Makkah to Kuwait

Which papers do you need to ship from Makkah to Kuwait? A resident sending belongings, gifts or furniture provides an iqama or ID copy, a packing list of contents, online authority for the broker via Fasah and the Kuwaiti recipient’s details. A visitor from Kuwait can use a passport or civil ID copy instead. A shop attaches its CR with the invoice and packing list. A car travels with its istimara, plates and export certificate.

Give the recipient’s details the way a driver in Kuwait will use them: who they are and which number reaches them, then governorate and area, then block, street and house, then which floor, and whether a lift serves it. These details are what keep delivery day short.

Customs on both sides of the border

Step one is your online go-ahead to the broker on Fasah, the customs portal of the Saudi Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority, so the declaration is filed before the truck moves and is waiting when it pulls into Al Ruqai. When the truck reaches Al Salmi, it is Kuwait’s General Administration of Customs that clears it in. A carton or two might be opened, which is where a single-type carton with a clear list shows its value.

Second-hand belongings and cars are dealt with by Kuwaiti customs under its own rules as they stand when the goods arrive. Do not base decisions on hearsay about fees or items that skip procedures; show the list to Al Rahwan before you book and you will be told what every line on it requires, especially perfumes in quantity, foodstuffs and medicines.

What cannot be shipped from Makkah to Kuwait?

Are there things Al Rahwan will not carry? Yes. Goods are checked before collection, and the company does not accept narcotics, weapons and ammunition, explosives, flammables such as gas cylinders, fuel, fireworks and flammable insecticides, counterfeit goods or hazardous chemicals. Some goods are not banned but cannot travel until declared or approved: bulk medicine, drones, radio sets, outsized batteries, plants, and chilled food items. In all of this, customs has the final say.

From Makkah in particular, watch out for the small gas cylinder in a furnished flat’s kitchen, cans of insecticide kept at home, and lighters and charcoal sticks packed with incense. These never go inside furniture cartons.

Insurance, tracking and storage

Cover with Al Rahwan is optional: you ask for it while booking, it is calculated on the value you write down for your goods together with the photo inventory, and it has its own line on the quote. Valuable gifts such as hand-made rugs and expensive perfumes deserve to be listed with their value. Updates come by message at four points: loading, the Saudi exit at Al Ruqai, entry into Kuwait, and handover. If you have to leave Makkah before the Kuwait home is ready, or the reverse, your goods can sit in a warehouse until the timing works, at a rate set after the survey from their volume and the days involved.

What to do if an item arrives damaged

Do not sign for delivery until you have matched the number of pieces and looked at the outside of every carton. If a carton is wet or crushed at a corner, photograph it before opening, note it on the delivery receipt in front of the driver, then open it and photograph the contents. Those photos, together with the photographed inventory from Makkah, are what a claim rests on if you chose insurance. A note written at the time is far clearer than a complaint a week later when nobody can tell when the damage happened.

Minimum and maximum weight

The smallest shipment Al Rahwan accepts from Makkah is a parcel up to 2 kg, from SAR 37, so you do not need to gather a large amount before shipping. There is no ceiling on quantity: beyond cartons, goods are charged by the road kilo, then as a part load, then as a full truck. A single carton is best kept to 20 kg, since heavier cartons are awkward to lift and their bottoms give way, so spread heavy things over more cartons.

Booking steps with Al Rahwan from Makkah

1. Call 0568829975 or send an online request, giving your district or hotel in Makkah and your city in Kuwait.
2. Send photos and approximate weights of suitcases or cartons, or book a free furniture survey.
3. Receive the itemised quote and check what it covers.
4. Prepare an ID or passport copy and the contents list, and authorise the broker on Fasah.
5. On collection day everything is wrapped, numbered, checked against the list and loaded.
6. Follow the notifications at loading, at the border and on arrival.
7. The recipient in Kuwait takes delivery by number, and furniture is reassembled if agreed.

You can reach the company by phone from within the Kingdom or from Kuwait, or book online from anywhere. Many customers arrange a Makkah shipment from Kuwait after they have returned, leaving the key or the suitcases with a relative or at the hotel.

Day by day: a family move from Al Aziziyah to Jabriya

Take a real-world case: a resident family in a three-bedroom flat in Al Aziziyah, with a sedan, moving to a flat in Jabriya in Hawalli governorate. On day one they call and send photos of the rooms, and the Al Rahwan representative books the survey. At the survey the inventory is written and they agree on dismantling three bedrooms, the kitchen and two air conditioners. Their itemised quote opens with SAR 2,300 for the household and SAR 920 for the sedan, a combined starting point of SAR 3,220 before the two AC lines are added. The family prepares iqama copies and recipient details and authorises the broker on Fasah.

On work day the crew arrives in the morning to dismantle, wrap and number, the dedicated truck is loaded that evening or the next morning, and the car goes onto the transporter at the agreed time. This is where the three to five days begin. The loading notification arrives, then the Al Ruqai crossing notification, then the arrival in Kuwait. A day before delivery the recipient books the service lift in the Jabriya building. On delivery day the furniture is unloaded, matched by number and reassembled in the rooms, and the car is handed over after comparing its condition with the photos taken in Makkah.

How to choose a shipping company from Makkah to Kuwait

Ask four things before you pay. First, does the company know the correct route and tell you your shipment crosses at Al Ruqai and Al Salmi, rather than talking vaguely about “the border”? Second, does it give an itemised quote after a survey or photos, rather than a single number over the phone without seeing anything? Third, does the service include delivery and reassembly in Kuwait, or does it end at the border or a warehouse? Fourth, does it keep you informed with notifications along the way, and does it offer insurance with clear terms? A company that answers these clearly before booking is the one that will answer clearly when something unexpected happens.

Delivery across Kuwait’s governorates

Al Rahwan delivers Makkah shipments to all six governorates. Since the truck comes in at Al Salmi, its first drops are in Jahra; it then moves on to the Capital and Farwaniya, after that to Hawalli and Mubarak Al Kabeer, and ends in Ahmadi to the south. Delivery covers unloading, placing, reassembly and arranging.

A pilgrim returning home to Kaifan or Mishref receives the suitcases at the door; a resident family that has moved to a flat in Khaitan or Mangaf has its furniture set up inside. A trade shipment to a warehouse in Shuwaikh or Ardiya is unloaded by forklift with the store manager present.

Mistakes people make when shipping from Makkah to Kuwait

• Carrying every gift on the plane: compare the airline’s excess-baggage charge with the road price for a suitcase before you decide.
• Putting perfumes in an air carton: liquids are restricted by air and the carton may be returned.
• Mixed cartons: if inspection is requested, the whole carton is emptied; keep one type per carton.
• Booking during the season itself: crowds around the Haram slow collection.
• Incomplete Kuwaiti address: without block and street, delivery is delayed.
• Belongings left in the car: the car is inspected at both crossings and held up by anything undeclared.
• Vague contents lists: “gifts” alone is not enough; write the type and quantity.

Why Al Rahwan for shipping from Makkah to Kuwait

Because the company knows Makkah, its seasons, crowds and districts, and knows what a pilgrim carries and what a resident needs. Kuwait is only one of its lanes, as Al Rahwan carries goods worldwide by road, sea and air, yet it remains one of the destinations customers ask for most. The company collects from hotels, apartment blocks and shops, consolidates small loads with the Jeddah trip to cut their cost, gives an itemised quote before payment, packs rugs, perfumes and furniture each in its own way, follows the shipment with a notification at every stage, and delivers and reassembles in Kuwait. There is usually a promotion on, so bring it up when you phone.

The booking number is 0568829975, answered from seven in the morning to eleven at night, and the online form is open too; just give your Makkah district and your Kuwait address. If you also have belongings in Jeddah, read the shipping company from Jeddah to Kuwait page, and for every route see the Shipping to Kuwait page.
