Al Mellah International Shipping (0580402747) is a shipping company from Jeddah to Bahrain moving home and office furniture, cars, parcels and goods from every district of Jeddah, Makkah and Taif to Manama, Muharraq, Riffa and Hamad Town — by land via Riyadh and Khobar, then over the King Fahd Causeway — in 3 to 4 days. Prices start from SAR 230 per parcel, SAR 1,850 for one room and SAR 2,000 per car, with dismantling, packing, clearance and reassembly.
From Jeddah to Bahrain the shipment crosses the whole Kingdom from west to east, then ends its trip with twenty-five kilometres over the waters of the Gulf. Most of the cost goes on the long road distance, so choosing the right shipping method for your volume is what makes the real difference in price. This guide is written for anyone wanting the lowest cost: a family moving home, a company moving its office, or someone sending a few cartons.

🏢 Moving office and company furniture from Jeddah to Bahrain
Many companies open branches in Manama or move their offices there. An office move differs from a home move: every day of downtime has a cost, equipment is sensitive and files are confidential. So we work to a dedicated plan:

❄️ Reefer and commercial goods from Jeddah
Jeddah’s food factories send their products to Bahrain in licensed reefer trucks via Riyadh and the causeway. General goods ship consolidated from SAR 14 per kg or by full truck, with the commercial invoice and GCC certificate of origin so the customs exemption applies to national products. Online stores get a regular lane to a distribution warehouse in Manama.

The general customs duty is 5%, and Bahrain’s VAT is 10% on taxable imports. Used furniture and belongings of residents and returning citizens are usually exempt, while new office furniture and company equipment may be treated as commercial goods. In the reverse direction into the Kingdom, goods may need a conformity certificate through the SABER platform. Prohibited: flammables, weapons and controlled medicines without a permit.
🏙️ Delivery in Bahrain

🌡️ From Jeddah humidity to Bahrain humidity: protecting your belongings
The trip starts in the humid Red Sea climate, crosses the dry heat of Najd, then ends on a humid Gulf island. That swing tires out wood, electronics and fabrics, so we dry wooden furniture before wrapping, add moisture absorbers to electronics and rugs, and keep perfumes and candles away from the trailer roof where the heat is strongest.
