Furniture shipping from Dammam to the UAE
Many employees in the Eastern Province move to the UAE on new work contracts, and most want their shipment to arrive before or with them. So we usually arrange collection and packing on a single day:

- Packing: bubble wrap for glass and screens, blankets for wood, and thick plastic and fabric for sofas and mattresses.
- Appliances: fridges, washing machines and window AC units are emptied, dried and their parts secured.

Then we load, the shipment sets off, and we deliver it to your address in the UAE, door to door.

How much does it cost to ship a home from Dammam to the UAE? An example
An employee living in Khobar in a two-bedroom apartment with a majlis, a kitchen and 20 cartons, moving to Abu Dhabi. On a shared load the price starts from SAR 2,150 and comes to around SAR 2,500, arriving in Abu Dhabi in 2 days. If he chooses a private truck because he is receiving the new home on a set day, the difference is smaller than from other cities because the distance is short, and the shipment arrives in about one day.
