Al Mellah International Shipping (0580402747) is a shipping company from Qassim to Bahrain moving cars, household goods, dates, fodder and parcels from Buraidah, Unaizah, Al Rass and Al Bukayriyah via Riyadh and Khobar to the King Fahd Causeway, then Manama, Muharraq, Riffa and Hamad Town in two to three days. Prices start from SAR 190 per parcel, SAR 1,700 for a room of furniture, SAR 1,950 for a flat and SAR 1,850 for a car.
Bahrain is an island with limited farmland that imports most of its food and livestock fodder, and Qassim is one of the Kingdom’s largest sources of dates and fodder. So the shipping line between Qassim and Bahrain runs from home and car moves for families and employees to supplying Sukkari dates to Manama shops and fodder to livestock pens and stables. The road passes Riyadh and then Khobar, so your shipment joins the frequent Riyadh runs to Bahrain.

There’s no practical sea option from Qassim for household goods; an FCL container from Dammam port to Khalifa Bin Salman Port only makes sense for huge commercial quantities, and sea LCL consolidation doesn’t suit.

We ship packed Sukkari dates in air-conditioned trucks, packed alfalfa and barley fodder in dry closed trucks, and vegetables and dairy in refrigerated trucks. Saudi products with a GCC certificate of origin enter Bahrain duty-free, with the health certificates Bahraini authorities require for plant products.

🗓️ A family’s move from Buraidah to Bahrain
| Before the date | What happens |
|---|---|
| Two weeks | Survey, deciding what to ship and what to sell |
| One week | Car papers, packing list and Fasah authorisation |
| Loading day | Dismantling, packing, loading and sealing |
| After 2–3 days | Delivery and reassembly in Bahrain |
💭 Ship or sell?
Ship made-to-measure majlis seating, good bedrooms, recent appliances and carpets, and sell light old furniture and worn mattresses before the survey; that cuts both volume and price.
