Al Mellah International Shipping (0580402747) is a shipping company from Madinah to Morocco moving students’ libraries, Moroccans-abroad belongings, final-return furniture, cars and dates from Madinah, Yanbu and AlUla to Fes, Meknes, Rabat, Casablanca, Marrakech, Oujda and Tangier, by road to Jeddah Islamic Port and then by sea to Tanger Med or Casablanca in 4 to 6 weeks. Prices start from SAR 270 per box, SAR 1,850 per room by consolidated shipping, SAR 7,850 for a 20 ft container and SAR 4,650 for a small car by RoRo.
Moroccan students have a large presence at Madinah’s universities and institutes, many from Fes, Meknes, Oujda and the north, and Moroccans work there in teaching, as imams and in health. When study years end, the library is the most precious thing a student brings back to Morocco, along with personal belongings and sometimes a home’s furniture if married. The route is by sea: from Madinah by road to Jeddah port, then across the Red Sea and through the Suez Canal into the Mediterranean to Tanger Med.
📚 A student’s library from Madinah to Morocco
We pack the library for a sea voyage of several weeks and arrange it so the student can reshelve it easily in Morocco:
| Step | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Small boxes of no more than 20 kg | They don’t tear when handled in ports |
| A plastic bag inside every box plus silica gel | Protecting paper from Mediterranean humidity |
| Numbering by discipline: fiqh, usul, hadith, language | Quick library setup at home |
| Copied manuscripts in wooden crates | No bending or pressure |
| A list of book titles with the customs list | Showing they’re for personal use |
👥 A shared container for Moroccan students
If several Moroccan students are returning at the same time, they can combine their libraries in one 20 ft container and split the cost instead of each using consolidated shipping. We colour-code each student’s boxes, give each their own list, and deliver each student’s boxes to their city after clearance.
| Shipment size | Best method | Starts from |
|---|---|---|
| A library and suitcases (up to 5 m³) | Consolidated per-piece shipping | SAR 270 per box |
| One or two rooms | Consolidated LCL shipping | SAR 1,850 per room |
| A group of students or a full flat | 20 ft FCL container | SAR 7,850 |
| A whole house or furniture with a car | 40 ft FCL container | SAR 11,700 |
