Kuwait is the only Gulf state linked to the Kingdom by two land crossings: Khafji on the coast and Al Ruqi inland. From Makkah, Al Ruqi via Hafr Al-Batin is the natural route, whether the truck goes through Riyadh or takes the northern road via Madinah and Hail. Our Makkah customers use it: residents moving to jobs in Kuwait, Kuwaiti families buying and shipping from Makkah, Kuwaiti Umrah visitors returning with their purchases, and hotel and hospital staff moving to similar jobs there.

We ship the car as an export on a carrier; it’s cleared at Al Salmi in the receiver’s name and registered with Kuwait’s General Traffic Department after technical inspection. Given the long road from Makkah, we recommend an enclosed carrier for luxury and dark cars, with a protective cover inside.

🕋 Kuwaiti Umrah visitors and their purchases

Many Kuwaitis come to Makkah for Umrah by road or air and go home with purchases beyond their car’s space or airline allowance: rugs, Qur’ans, kitchenware, dates and family gifts. We collect them in Makkah before they return and add them to consolidated shipping, so they reach their homes in Kuwait from SAR 240 per parcel.

✔Write the receiver’s name, Kuwaiti phone number and governorate on the box.
✔Qur’ans and books in small boxes.
✔Dates in sealed packs.

🕌 Loading inside Makkah

Entry to Makkah is restricted to Muslims, and our crews inside work under the regulations. We load from narrow districts and the central area with small vehicles and transfer to the large truck, avoiding the Hajj and Ramadan seasons when truck movement is restricted.

🧳 Suitcases and parcels for people moving

For residents moving to Kuwait with suitcases, boxes and one or two appliances, consolidated shipping is best value: from SAR 240 per parcel and SAR 280 per appliance, with collection at times that fit work shifts.

📦 Commercial cargo and stores

For Makkah shop owners we ship goods by consolidation or full truck to a warehouse in Shuwaikh or Al Rai, with a GCC certificate of origin that exempts national products from Kuwaiti customs duty, and a commercial invoice. Online stores get periodic consolidated shipping, and food travels in a refrigerated truck.

🚢 Is sea an option from Makkah to Kuwait?

In theory a full FCL container could be loaded in Makkah, trucked to Jeddah port and shipped to Shuwaikh Port, but the voyage goes around the Arabian Peninsula and takes weeks, and handling charges at two ports are nearly fixed. So we only recommend it for very large commercial quantities, and sea LCL consolidation doesn’t suit household goods; road via Al Ruqi is faster, cheaper and door to door.

🏨 Hotel and hospital staff

Many hotel and hospital staff in Makkah move to similar jobs in Kuwait, usually with suitcases, boxes and one or two appliances. We collect at times that fit their shifts and add the belongings to consolidated shipping, so they reach their Kuwait housing a few days after they arrive.

💭 Ship or buy in Kuwait?

The distance from Makkah to Kuwait is about fifteen hundred kilometres, so each cubic metre has a cost. Ship good bedrooms, made-to-measure majlis seating, recent appliances and carpets, and sell light old furniture and worn mattresses before the survey — that cuts both volume and price.

🔁 From Kuwait to Makkah

We also move shipments from Kuwait to Makkah for returnees and traders, taking into account SABER platform requirements for regulated products, 15% Saudi VAT and the Kingdom’s used-car import rules.
