Shipping, Furniture and Car Moving Company from Jeddah to Egypt 0506688227 Three Routes Rather Than One
Guide summary
Shipping cartons, appliances, furniture and vehicles from Jeddah to Cairo, Alexandria, the Delta and Upper Egypt — our nearest neighbour by sea and the most different in its shipping pattern. From Jeddah there are three routes rather than one: the Duba–Safaga ferry, direct sea from your own city's port, or road through Jordan. And this is a consignment lane rather than a household one, priced by the carton rather than the cubic metre, with your price falling the more you gather. Two lines we tell you in advance: Egyptian vehicle duty may exceed the vehicle's value, and a new appliance in its wrapping is read as goods.

Egypt is our nearest neighbour by sea — only the Red Sea lies between us. And that makes the lane different from everything before it in this series.
From Jeddah there are three routes rather than one, and each has what suits it. Anyone offering you one without explanation has not offered you a choice but their own fleet.

Three routes — and one suits your shipment
And this is the first thing to know before the price.
| The route | How it works | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| The Duba ferry | By road to Duba, then a ferry to Safaga, then by road to your destination | Vehicles and relatively urgent consignments |
| Direct sea | From Jeddah port to an Egyptian port | Containers and large volumes |
| Road through Jordan | North, then transit, then entry into Egypt | Special cases — and the longest |
| Air | For small urgent parcels | Documents and samples only |
And why does nobody explain them?Because explaining them means admitting the best fit may not be what the carrier holds. Anyone with a ferry arrangement will offer it to you even if a sea container is cheaper for your volume. Anyone working only by sea will say ‘sea’ even if your vehicle is faster on the ferry. We put all three before you in figures and recommend by what suits your shipment — not by what suits our schedule.
And how do we choose for you?
A vehicle or an urgent consignmentUsually the ferry — shorter in time than direct sea.
A whole home or a containerDirect sea — the price per cubic metre falls plainly with volume.
A few cartons and appliancesBy count and destination — we work it out before pricing.
This is a consignment lane rather than a household lane
And that makes its pricing entirely different.
On our earlier destinations the majority was a whole household move. On the Egypt lane the pattern inverts: most of our shipments are cartons, appliances and bags — from a provider sending to family, or a returnee sending belongings ahead.
| What is shipped here often | Why | How we handle it |
|---|---|---|
| Cartons of clothing and personal belongings | The commonest pattern on this lane | A price tiering plainly by count |
| Used electrical appliances | Bought in Saudi Arabia and sent on | Distinct packing per appliance — which we explain |
| Television screens | A question repeated on every shipping page | Never shipped without their carton or a timber crate |
| Air conditioners | Very common in this direction | Drained of gas with their parts secured |
| Travel bags | For returnees and visitors | Weighed and priced like cartons |
| A full household | Less common but present | Usually direct sea |
And the difference lies not in the category but in the pricingA household lane is priced by the cubic metre; a consignment lane is priced by the carton. Anyone transplanting a household price table onto an Egypt page gives you a figure that is not yours. Someone sending five cartons does not want a flat’s price divided, but a carton price that falls as their count rises — and that is what we write for you.
What we ship from Jeddah to Egypt
Your cartons and bagsThe commonest pattern — from one carton, with a price tiering by count.
Your electrical appliancesFridge, washer, air conditioner and screen — each with its own packing.
Your home’s belongingsUsually by sea — in the hands of carpenters who dismantle and restore.
Your carVia the ferry or by sea — and we calculate its duty before booking.
Your commercial goodsWith an invoice, a packing list and a complete file we prepare with you.
Your office contentsEach employee’s name on their belongings, so work begins with no sorting.
Carton and bag prices — a price tiering by count
| Carton count | Approximate price per carton | Note |
|---|---|---|
| One carton | SAR 230 – 340 | Up to 30 kg |
| Two cartons | SAR 200 – 295 | The fixed cost divides |
| Three to five | SAR 170 – 250 | The commonest for family consignments |
| Six to ten | SAR 145 – 215 | Clearly the cheapest |
| More than ten | SAR 125 – 185 | By count and governorate |
And why does the price fall so plainly?Because a large part of the cost is fixed and does not change with your carton count: the courier’s visit, opening the file, the clearance formalities and arranging delivery. Divided across one carton its share rises; across ten it falls plainly. So if you can gather more — gather, even if it means waiting a week.
Shipping electrical appliances — each with its own packing
Appliances are the most shipped item on this lane after cartons, and the most likely to arrive damaged when wrapped to a single recipe. Each appliance has an entirely different weak point.
| The appliance | Its weak point | What we do |
|---|---|---|
| The fridge | Lying down sends compressor oil into the circuits | Always shipped upright on a pallet |
| The washer | Its drum hangs on springs that vibration damages | Its internal parts are secured before wrapping |
| The air conditioner | The gas and the copper connections | Drained, with the pipe coiled and secured |
| The screen | The panel breaks under pressure, not impact | Its original carton or a timber crate — upright |
| Oven and hob | The glass and the burners | The glass is removed and crated separately |
| Microwave and small appliances | The turntable moves inside | It is taken out and wrapped separately |
And the fridge deserves a particular warningA fridge shipped lying down may arrive looking sound and working badly. Compressor oil migrates into the cooling circuits when it is tipped, and that shows only when it is switched on — possibly needing a repair costing more than the appliance. We always ship it upright on a pallet, and advise you to leave it standing for some hours before switching it on after arrival.
Furniture moving from Jeddah to Egypt
When your cargo is a whole home rather than cartons, the direct sea route is usually the better fit. We begin with a survey at no fee, then carpenter dismantling, then wrapping and numbering, then loading at your own city’s port.
We come to you at no feeWherever you are in Jeddah, with the survey and the estimate at our expense.
One crew rather than twoThe crew that dismantled in Jeddah assembles in Egypt.
A contents list per boxBy item and count — drawn up in front of you at loading.
Numbering read without openingOn two faces, so it matches the list without the box being opened.
Delivery in your governorateNot at the port and not to Cairo alone.
We leave with no traceEverything returns to its form, and every carton we used leaves with us.
| Home size | Cairo and Giza | Alexandria and the Delta | Upper Egypt | The Canal and Sinai |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Studio or single room | SAR 3,100 – 4,600 | SAR 3,200 – 4,700 | SAR 3,500 – 5,200 | SAR 3,300 – 4,900 |
| Two-bedroom flat | SAR 4,600 – 6,900 | SAR 4,700 – 7,100 | SAR 5,200 – 7,700 | SAR 4,900 – 7,300 |
| Three-bedroom flat | SAR 6,700 – 10,000 | SAR 6,900 – 10,300 | SAR 7,500 – 11,200 | SAR 7,200 – 10,700 |
| A small whole home | SAR 9,600 – 14,400 | SAR 9,900 – 14,800 | SAR 10,800 – 16,200 | SAR 10,300 – 15,400 |
| A large whole home | SAR 13,800 – 20,700 | SAR 14,200 – 21,300 | SAR 15,600 – 23,300 | SAR 14,800 – 22,200 |
Car shipping from Jeddah to Egypt
Shipping a vehicle here has two routes: via the Duba–Safaga ferry, or by sea in a container. And it begins on the Saudi side because a vehicle does not leave on its own plates.
What precedes its loading
1Settling any finance on itIts papers will not be accepted while a bank remains a party, so it is paid and a clearance issued.
2Withdrawing it from the traffic registerThrough Absher its plates are removed and it is recorded as bound for departure.
3Obtaining the export paperWith it the port or crossing confirms it is no longer registered inside the Kingdom.
4Estimating the Egyptian dutyBefore you pay the freight rather than after.
5Photographing it before it is liftedA full circuit with the camera plus a close shot of any existing mark.
6Crossing, clearance and deliveryTo your governorate rather than to the quayside.
| The method | Relative duration | Price range | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Duba–Safaga ferry | The shortest | SAR 4,600 – 7,400 | The commonest route for vehicles |
| Sea in a single container | Longer | SAR 5,500 – 9,200 | For luxury and classic cars |
| With your furniture in a container | By the shipment | By total volume | A whole home with a vehicle |
| Non-running | By arrangement | After survey | A low-loader or pushed into the container |
And Egyptian vehicle duty is the decisive lineRules for bringing vehicles into Egypt carry conditions on model year, engine capacity and the owner’s status, and the duty may exceed the vehicle’s own value in some cases. We do not ship a vehicle before estimating its duty and putting it before you — so send the model year, trim, engine capacity and fuel type, and if selling it here costs less we say so plainly and lose the job, because discovering the figure after arrival leaves you facing a fait accompli.
Delivery in your governorate rather than to Cairo alone
Most shipping pages write “all governorates” and then quote one figure. And Egypt is a long country — from Alexandria in the north to Aswan in the south is more than a thousand kilometres.
| Your governorate | Distance from the arrival point | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Cairo and Giza | The nearest on most routes | The most common destination |
| Alexandria and Beheira | Close to the north | Coastal |
| The Delta | Menoufia, Gharbia, Dakahlia and Sharqia | Moderate distances |
| The Canal and Sinai | Port Said, Ismailia, Suez and Arish | The nearest to the Safaga route |
| Lower Upper Egypt | Beni Suef, Minya and Asyut | + hundreds of kilometres |
| Upper Upper Egypt | Sohag, Qena, Luxor and Aswan | Clearly the furthest |
| The Red Sea | Hurghada, Safaga and Quseer | The nearest to Safaga port |
And the route changes the calculation rather than the distance aloneThe Red Sea and Upper Egypt governorates are nearer Safaga than Cairo. So anyone taking your cargo to Cairo first and then running it south adds hundreds of kilometres. We choose the arrival point by your governorate — so name your governorate and its markaz in your first message rather than only your major city.

Documents required
For cartons and personal belongings
- An ID or residency permit that has not expired, in a copy whose numbers read
- The consignee in Egypt: name, national number, phone, governorate and address
- A contents list for every carton — the most important paper on a consignment lane
- An authorisation on Fasah — we prepare it and send it for your approval
For furniture and personal effects
- All of the above, plus:
- Your valid passport
- Evidence of your relocation or return if you want the effects exemption
- A detailed inventory by item and count rather than a general description
For your car
- A licence in your own name that has not expired
- A bank letter confirming its instalments were settled if it was financed
- Documentation that its plates were struck from Absher
- Its departure permit from the traffic department
- A document showing its price: an invoice or a contract
- Its full specification: model year, engine capacity and fuel type
And the consignee’s national number is required hereUnlike most of our destinations, Egyptian formalities tie the shipment to a national number. An address without one can hold up delivery by a day or more while your consignee hunts for the right paper. Ask them for it along with the address in one message before we move.
Prohibited and restricted items
Absolutely prohibited
- Narcotics and psychotropic substances in every form
- Weapons, ammunition and their parts
- Radioactive and toxic materials
- Counterfeit goods
- Material contrary to public morals
- Cash and gold within ordinary shipments
What crosses only once its condition is met
| What you intend to ship | Why it is held | The condition |
|---|---|---|
| Your prescribed medication | Under pharmaceutical control | A stamped prescription and a quantity within your use |
| Perfume and sanitiser bottles | Classified as rapidly flammable | Packaging no liquid escapes from, with prior notice |
| New appliances in quantity | Read as goods rather than effects | An invoice and disclosure — duty may be assessed |
| Anything running on a lithium battery | Under maritime regulation | A declaration and approved packaging |
| Wireless devices | They need approval | Notifying us early |
| Tinned foodstuffs | A health check | A shelf life extending two weeks or more |
And the new appliances row deserves your attentionA new appliance in its wrapping is read as goods rather than personal effects, and duty may be assessed on it even within an effects shipment. This is very common on this lane because many buy appliances in Saudi Arabia and send them on. Tell us what you bought new so it is separated on the declaration — rather than being read within effects and holding the whole shipment.
Where does your shipment’s time go?
| Where | The Duba ferry | Direct sea |
|---|---|---|
| At your home | One to two days | One to two days |
| Consolidation and the file | By schedule | By schedule |
| Jeddah to the departure point | Around 8 hours to Duba | Minutes to the port |
| Crossing or sailing | The ferry is short | Longer |
| Clearance | At Safaga | At the arrival port |
| To your governorate | By its proximity to Safaga | By the arrival point |
| Total | Usually the shortest | Cheapest for large volumes |
Notice the third rowJeddah port is minutes away from you — an advantage anyone departing from Riyadh does not have. The Duba route, by contrast, begins with around eight hours of road travel north. And the choice between them rests on volume and destination rather than proximity — and we work it out for you.
And offices have their own table
| Item | Price range | Note |
|---|---|---|
| A full single workstation | SAR 420 – 780 | Including dismantling and wrapping the screen |
| Meeting table | SAR 1,000 – 1,750 | Dismantled and wrapped with reinforced corners |
| Filing cabinet | SAR 235 – 495 | Per unit, emptied before lifting |
| Servers and IT equipment | SAR 1,280 – 3,180 | They need an invoice — they do not pass as furniture |
| A full office (10 staff) | SAR 5,950 – 10,150 | An all-in package with numbering and inventory |
The name guides where the location misleadsIf you had two identical floors, what use is writing ‘first floor’ on the boxes? But when every device, drawer and chair carries the name of whoever uses it, distribution runs automatically with no questions — and your staff are seated before the first day ends.
How to compare two quotes on this lane
Five questions — and only someone who knows the routes answers the first.
1Which of the three routes do you recommend and why?Anyone offering one without explanation is offering you their fleet rather than your choice.
2How do you price — by the carton or by the cubic metre?A consignment lane is by the carton. Anyone transplanting a household table gave you a figure that is not yours.
3How do you ship the fridge?If the answer is ‘in a box’ they have told you enough — it ships upright.
4How much is my Egyptian vehicle duty?It may exceed the vehicle’s value. Anyone not estimating it before shipping leaves you facing a fait accompli.
5Did you take my consignee’s national number?Egyptian formalities tie the shipment to it — and its absence holds up delivery.
An example of the wrong comparisonA quote of SAR 190 per carton looks cheaper than ours at 215 for five cartons. But ask about delivery: if it ends at an office in Cairo while your governorate is Asyut, you face hundreds of kilometres and an inland transport fee you pay yourself. And twenty-five riyals per carton does not offset that.
What we guarantee and what we do not
All three routes before youIn figures — and we recommend by what suits your shipment rather than our schedule.
A carton price that tiersBecause this is a consignment lane rather than a household one.
Each appliance with its own packingThe fridge upright, the screen upright, the air conditioner drained.
Duty estimated before shippingFor your vehicle and for anything you bought new — before you pay rather than after it arrives.
And what lies beyond our power we say as it is: ferry and vessel schedules change, and Egyptian customs’ assessment of a vehicle’s or appliance’s value is not our decision. You will not read “the cheapest shipping to Egypt” from us nor “a twenty-five per cent discount” — but three routes with their figures, a price tiering with your count, and a duty estimate before you pay.
How to reduce your shipping cost
| Method | Expected saving | How |
|---|---|---|
| Gather your cartons | 35 to 45% | The fixed cost divides across your count |
| Calculate your vehicle’s duty first | It can exceed everything below it | Selling it here may cost less than shipping plus duty |
| Separate the new from the used | It protects your shipment from being held | New in its wrapping is read as goods |
| Choose the route by your volume | 10 to 20% | The ferry for vehicles and sea for volume |
| Dismantle everything possible | 20 to 35% | On sea shipments priced by the cubic metre |
| Name your governorate and markaz | Prevents insurance pricing | Asyut is not Cairo |
When does transit lengthen on this lane?
- Summer — the Egyptian holiday season and peak demand
- Eid and Ramadan — heavy pressure on family consignments
- Peak seasons on the Duba ferry
- Periods of intensive customs review
- Red Sea weather — it can delay the ferry
Five recurring mistakes — all of them avoidable
Accepting one route without comparisonThere are three routes and each has what suits it. Anyone offering one without explanation is offering their fleet.
Shipping the fridge lying downCompressor oil migrates into the cooling circuits and the fault shows only when switched on. It always ships upright on a pallet.
Mixing new appliances with effectsNew in its wrapping is read as goods, and duty may be assessed or the shipment held. Tell us so it is separated on the declaration.
Shipping a vehicle without estimating its dutyThe duty may exceed the vehicle’s value. And discovering the figure after arrival leaves you facing a fait accompli.
Sending an address with no national numberEgyptian formalities tie the shipment to it. Its absence holds up delivery by a day or more.

Frequently asked questions about shipping from Jeddah to Egypt
What are the three routes and which suits me?The Duba–Safaga ferry, shortest in time and commonest for vehicles; direct sea from Jeddah port, cheapest for containers and large volumes; and road through Jordan for special cases and the longest. We put all three before you in figures and recommend by what suits your shipment rather than our schedule.
How do you price — by the carton or by the cubic metre?By the carton, because this is a consignment lane rather than a household one. Most of our shipments here are cartons, appliances and bags rather than whole homes. Anyone transplanting a household price table onto an Egypt page gives you a figure that is not yours.
How much is a single carton?Between SAR 230 and 340 up to thirty kilograms. But it falls plainly with count: six to ten are SAR 145 to 215 each. Because the fixed cost — the courier’s visit, opening the file and clearance — divides across your count.
How do you ship the fridge?Always upright on a pallet. A fridge lying down sends its compressor oil into the cooling circuits, and the fault shows only when switched on, possibly needing a repair costing more than the appliance. We advise leaving it standing for some hours before switching it on after arrival.
And what about the screen?It is not shipped without its original carton. The internal panel breaks under pressure rather than impact, and the break is invisible from outside — it shows when switched on. If you no longer have its carton we build a timber crate in which it ships upright.
How much does shipping a car to Egypt cost?Freight via the ferry is SAR 4,600 to 7,400, and by sea in a container SAR 5,500 to 9,200. But the Egyptian duty is the decisive line — and it may exceed the vehicle’s own value. We do not ship a vehicle before estimating it and putting it before you.
I bought new appliances for my family — will they pass?A new appliance in its wrapping is read as goods rather than personal effects, and duty may be assessed on it. This is very common on this lane. Tell us what you bought new so it is separated on the declaration rather than being read within effects and holding the shipment.
Why do you ask for the consignee’s national number?Because Egyptian formalities tie the shipment to a national number, unlike most of our destinations. An address without one can hold up delivery by a day or more while your consignee hunts for the right paper.
Do you deliver in Upper Egypt?Yes: Beni Suef, Minya, Asyut, Sohag, Qena, Luxor and Aswan. And the Upper Egypt and Red Sea governorates are nearer Safaga than Cairo — so anyone taking your cargo to Cairo first and then running it south adds hundreds of kilometres.
How much does moving a flat from Jeddah to Egypt cost?A two-bedroom flat is SAR 4,600 to 6,900 for Cairo and Giza, and SAR 5,200 to 7,700 for Upper Egypt. Whole homes usually ship by sea because the price per cubic metre falls with volume.
What documents are required for cartons?Your ID, the consignee’s details with their national number, a contents list for every carton — the most important paper on a consignment lane — and a Fasah authorisation. For furniture, your passport and evidence of your relocation are added if you want the exemption.
When does the duration lengthen?In summer — the Egyptian holiday season — and at Eid and Ramadan when family consignments rise. And Red Sea weather can delay ferry sailings.
Do you ship air conditioners?Yes, and they are very common in this direction. The gas is drained, the copper pipe coiled and the parts secured before wrapping — because copper connections are the first thing to bend with vibration.
And the reverse — from Egypt to Jeddah?Yes, on the same routes. But what is barred from entering the Kingdom is wider than what is barred from leaving it, foremost foodstuffs and agricultural products.
In summary
Egypt is our nearest neighbour by sea and the most different in its shipping pattern.
From Jeddah there are three routes rather than one: the Duba–Safaga ferry, direct sea from your own city’s port, or road through Jordan. Each has what suits it — and anyone offering you one without explanation has not offered a choice but their fleet.
And this is a consignment lane rather than a household one — most of what moves on it is cartons, appliances and bags, priced by the carton rather than the cubic metre. And your price falls plainly the more you gather, because the fixed cost divides across your count.
And two lines we tell you in advance: your Egyptian vehicle duty may exceed the vehicle’s value, and a new appliance in its wrapping is read as goods rather than effects. We estimate both before you pay rather than after it arrives.
