Al Mellah International Shipping (0580402747) is a shipping company from Al-Ahsa to Morocco moving final-return furniture, cars, bridal trousseaus, boxes and suitcases from Hofuf, Mubarraz, Al Oyun and the villages to Casablanca, Marrakech, Rabat, Fes, Agadir, Errachidia and Ouarzazate, by road to Jeddah Islamic Port and then by sea to Tanger Med, Casablanca or Agadir in 4 to 6 weeks. Prices start from SAR 295 per box, SAR 2,050 per room by consolidated shipping, SAR 8,400 for a 20 ft container and SAR 5,500 for a small car by RoRo.
Moroccan families work in Al-Ahsa in hospitals, beauty centres, restaurants, hotels and schools, some of them settled in the oasis for many years. What they ask us for falls into three kinds: boxes and suitcases for relatives before summer, a bridal trousseau for a daughter or relative marrying in Morocco, and a whole home’s furniture with a car at the final return. Al-Ahsa is close to Dammam port, but vessels bound for Morocco run through the Red Sea, so trucking the container to Jeddah usually gives the shortest voyage to Tangier.
💍 A bridal trousseau from Al-Ahsa to Morocco
Many Moroccan families in Al-Ahsa prepare the ‘shwar’ for a daughter or relative getting married in Morocco in summer: kitchenware, bedding, clothes, perfumes, small appliances and gold. This shipment needs its own planning:
| Trousseau contents | How we ship it | Customs note |
|---|---|---|
| Kitchenware, bedding and clothes | Numbered, wrapped boxes by consolidated shipping | Accepted in personal quantities |
| Perfumes and incense | Sealed packs inside a lined box | Large amounts of one item count as commercial |
| New small appliances | Original box with the invoice | Usually subject to duties and VAT |
| Gold and jewellery | Not shipped in the container | Carried and declared by the traveller |
🗺️ Delivery across Morocco, including the south-east
After clearance your shipment reaches your door in any city. For people from Morocco’s south-eastern oases, such as Errachidia, Erfoud, Zagora and Ouarzazate, delivery is by road from Casablanca or Agadir:

🚗 Shipping your car from Al-Ahsa to Morocco

| A car with no privilege | — | Full duties plus 20% VAT, and used cars generally up to five years old |
If the car is eligible, you get export plates and an export certificate from Al-Ahsa traffic, and we move it on an enclosed carrier to Jeddah for RoRo, or put it with your furniture in a 40 ft container.
| Method | When it suits you | Starts from |
|---|---|---|
| RoRo | A car on its own | SAR 5,500 for a small car |
