The route from Dubai to Egypt and how long it takes
By road: we consolidate Dubai shipments at our warehouse, and the truck heads to the Ghuwaifat and Al Batha crossing, transits the Kingdom to Duba or Aqaba port, and boards the ferry as a whole truck in the enclosed vehicle deck, coming off at Safaga or Nuweiba for inspection and clearance, then goes to our warehouse in Egypt where shipments are distributed by small vehicles. By sea: the container is loaded at your home and sails from Jebel Ali via the Red Sea to Sokhna, or through the Suez Canal to Port Said and Alexandria.
- Road: truck through Saudi Arabia then a ferry to Safaga or Nuweiba
- Sea: container from Jebel Ali to Sokhna, Port Said or Alexandria
- Air: from Dubai airport to Cairo airport
| Destination in Egypt | Road (truck and ferry) | Sea by container |
|---|---|---|
| Cairo and Giza | 10 to 14 days | 18 to 25 days |
| Alexandria | 11 to 15 days | 18 to 24 days |
| The Delta: Mansoura, Tanta and Zagazig | 11 to 15 days | 19 to 26 days |
| The Canal and Sinai: Port Said, Ismailia and Suez | 10 to 14 days | 17 to 23 days |
| Upper Egypt: Asyut, Sohag, Luxor and Aswan | 12 to 17 days | 21 to 28 days |
| The Red Sea: Hurghada and Safaga | 9 to 13 days | 20 to 27 days |
Times are door to door and include transit, port clearance and distribution inside Egypt. The Red Sea governorates are closest to Safaga port so they arrive sooner by road, while Upper Egypt adds two days for distribution.

Furniture and belongings shipping from Dubai to Egypt
A shipment to Egypt travels a long way and moves between truck and ferry or sails in a container, so our packing is double and withstands humidity and inspection:
- Villas: we load the container right at the villa door with no intermediate handling
- Sofas and marble tables: bubble wrap then blankets, marble in wooden crates
- Bedrooms: fully dismantled, mirrors in heavy cardboard with corners
- Kitchen: each plate and cup in paper in a carton with dividers
- Appliances: emptied and dried two days before so no mould forms on the way
We write the inventory with you, number every carton and mark it with the recipient’s name and number; it is the basis for clearance at the Egyptian port and for the exemption on used personal belongings.
Car shipping from Dubai to Egypt
- Car in a private 20-foot container: from AED 4,050 to Cairo, covered and secured with wheel straps and wooden chocks
- SUV: from AED 4,300 in a dedicated container
- Two cars in a 40-foot container: from AED 6,800, or a car with the household furniture
- By sea from Jebel Ali: to Sokhna, Port Said or Alexandria
On the UAE side we need the export certificate and plate cancellation from the RTA or Dubai traffic department, and a traffic certificate with the car’s details and model year stamped by the Egyptian embassy. Egypt requires a private car imported by an Egyptian living abroad to be no more than three years old, and duties and taxes are high depending on engine size, so we review your car before booking. Details are on our car shipping page.
Air freight from Dubai to Egypt
We ship from Dubai International or Al Maktoum airport to Cairo International Airport; the flight takes about four hours, and the shipment arrives in 3 to 7 days including clearance and delivery.

Many traders in Deira, Al Qusais and Jebel Ali supply the Egyptian market: clothing, perfume, spare parts and equipment.

How much does it cost to ship a home from Dubai to Egypt? An example
An Egyptian family in Arabian Ranches with a three-bedroom villa, a living room, a kitchen and 40 cartons, returning to New Cairo for good. A 20-foot container by sea fits best: the price starts from AED 4,050 and comes to around AED 4,900 with packing and delivery, in 18 to 25 days. If it were only cartons and bags of about 150 kg, road freight per kg would come to around AED 600.
