Al Mellah International Shipping (0580402747) is a shipping company from Makkah to Morocco moving gift boxes, Moroccans-abroad belongings, final-return furniture and cars from every Makkah district to Casablanca, Rabat, Fes, Marrakech, Tangier, Agadir and Oujda, by sea from Jeddah Islamic Port through the Suez Canal to Tanger Med or Casablanca in 4 to 6 weeks. Prices start from SAR 265 per box, SAR 1,850 per room by consolidated shipping, SAR 7,750 for a 20 ft container and SAR 4,650 for a small car by RoRo.
Makkah has a Moroccan community working in hotels, restaurants, beauty salons and hospitals, and thousands of Moroccan pilgrims arrive every year for Umrah. Shipping to Morocco from Makkah has its own character: gift boxes before the summer holiday, pilgrims’ belongings the plane can’t take, and families returning for good with their furniture and car. Morocco is one of the most organised destinations for receiving its citizens’ belongings; customs publish a yearly guide for Moroccans abroad setting out the exemptions, which makes shipping easy for anyone who arranges their papers before loading.
🎁 Gift boxes before the summer holiday
Before summer, many Moroccans in Makkah send gift boxes to their families: clothes, perfumes, kitchenware, dates, Qur’ans and prayer rugs. We ship them by consolidated per-piece shipping, so they arrive a few days before or after you:
| Piece | Note | Starts from |
|---|---|---|
| A box of mixed gifts | Clothes, kitchenware, Qur’ans and perfumes in personal quantities | SAR 265 |
| Suitcase | Locked and wrapped in film | SAR 265 |
| One home appliance | Charged by volume after packing | Request a quote |
| Large quantities of one item | Treated as goods and subject to duties | Request a quote |
🕋 Moroccan Umrah pilgrims and their purchases
A Moroccan pilgrim usually returns with rugs, Qur’ans, dates and gifts for the family, and airline allowances don’t cover them. They hand them to us in Makkah before flying, and they’re shipped per piece to their city. Family members or travel companions can combine their boxes in one shipment, with a list showing who owns each box.

🕌 Loading inside Makkah
Makkah is a city only Muslims may enter, so a Muslim crew who knows its rules works there. In narrow districts we load with a small Dyna and transfer to the container outside, and we avoid the Hajj and Ramadan seasons when trucks are restricted.
📦 Cargo and online stores
Goods for sale are shipped in a container in the name of a registered importer in Morocco, with an invoice and certificate of origin. Online stores get periodic consolidated shipping, dates travel in a reefer container, and urgent parcels go by air to Casablanca.
