Al Mellah International Shipping (0580402747) is a shipping company from Makkah to Jordan moving household furniture, cars, luggage, Umrah purchases and cargo from every Makkah district to Amman, Zarqa, Irbid, Aqaba, Ma’an and Karak — by road via Madinah and Tabuk to the Halat Ammar → Mudawwara crossing in 3 to 5 days, or by sea from Jeddah Islamic Port to Aqaba Port. Prices start from SAR 240 per box, SAR 1,500 for a room of furniture, SAR 2,350 for a flat and SAR 1,200 for a car.
Thousands of Jordanians work in Makkah’s hotels, hospitals, schools and companies, and return to Jordan after years abroad with a whole home, a car and many boxes. Large numbers of Jordanian Umrah pilgrims also come each year by road via Mudawwara, going home with purchases that exceed what the bus allows. Because Jordan is outside the GCC customs union, shipping there needs an understanding of the returnee exemption, sales tax and car rules, as well as choosing the best route from Makkah.
🚗 Shipping your car from Makkah to Jordan
The price covers transport to the Jordanian border and clearance; Jordanian customs duties on the car are calculated by type, value and engine size and paid at clearance. Jordan has strict age rules for cars entering permanently, so we review your car’s details before booking; if it isn’t ready for registration, it can go into the Zarqa free zone until a decision is made or it’s sold.
| Car | Method | Starts from | Transit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sedan | Road carrier | SAR 1,200 | 3–5 days |
| SUV | Enclosed carrier | SAR 1,420 | 3–5 days |
| Luxury or lowered | Dedicated enclosed carrier with a protective cover | Request a quote | 3–4 days |
| Several cars | Sea container from Jeddah to Aqaba | Request a quote | 7–12 days |
Before shipping, get export plates and an export certificate from the Makkah traffic department after settling fines and releasing any lien.
| Situation | Suitable route | What you need |
|---|---|---|
| Permanent entry and registration in Jordan | Ship as an export, then clearance and duties | A car within the age and specification rules |
| Visit, then return with the car | Drive it in on temporary entry | A carnet or temporary permit |
| Selling the car or deferring the decision | The Zarqa free zone | Storage until sale or clearance |
🛣️ Road via Tabuk or sea to Aqaba?
| Criterion | Road via Halat Ammar | Sea from Jeddah to Aqaba |
|---|---|---|
| Route | Makkah → Madinah → Tabuk → Halat Ammar → Ma’an → Amman | Makkah → Jeddah port → Red Sea → Aqaba |
| Transit | 3–5 days | 7–12 days door to door |
| Best for | Flats, cars and boxes | Large villas and several cars in an FCL container |
| Closest to | Amman, Zarqa and Irbid via Ma’an | Aqaba and the south |
The sea voyage from Jeddah to Aqaba is relatively short across the Red Sea, so sea is a genuine option from Makkah for full containers, especially for Aqaba residents. Sea LCL consolidation usually doesn’t suit household goods; road is faster and door to door.
🧳 Returnees’ belongings: using the exemption
Jordanian customs grant Jordanians returning from residence abroad an exemption on personal effects and used furniture under conditions set by the regulations — mainly the length of residence abroad, and that items are used and for personal use. The exemption is requested at clearance, and is refused or reduced if documents are incomplete or the packing list is vague.

🕋 Jordanian Umrah pilgrims and their purchases
Many Jordanians come to Makkah for Umrah by bus via Mudawwara and go home with rugs, Qur’ans, dates, kitchenware and gifts beyond what the bus allows. We collect them in Makkah before they return and add them to consolidated shipping, so they reach their homes in Jordan from SAR 240 per box.
🕌 Loading inside Makkah
Makkah is a city only Muslims may enter, so a Muslim crew who knows its rules and truck times works there. In narrow districts and the central area we load with a small Dyna and transfer to the trailer outside, and we avoid the Hajj and Ramadan seasons.
📦 Commercial cargo and online stores
For shop owners we ship goods by consolidation or full truck with a commercial invoice and certificate of origin, noting that Jordan is outside the GCC customs union, so duties and sales tax apply by tariff line and agreements. Online stores get periodic consolidated shipping, and food travels in a refrigerated truck.

⚠️ Common mistakes
⚖️ How to choose a shipping company from Makkah to Jordan
💭 Ship or buy in Jordan?
Ship what’s hard to replace or worth more than its shipping cost and duties: good bedrooms, majlis seating, recent used appliances and carpets. Remember that new appliances may be charged, so don’t buy new appliances to ship unless they fall within the exemption.
🧳 Suitcases and boxes for staff in Makkah
Many Jordanians working in Makkah’s hotels and hospitals return with just suitcases, boxes and one or two appliances. We collect at times that fit their shifts and add them to consolidated shipping heading to Tabuk and Halat Ammar, from SAR 240 per box or suitcase and SAR 290 per appliance, so they reach their homes in Jordan a few days after they arrive.
