How does shipping from Saudi Arabia to Iraq work?
Shipping to Iraq is entirely by road through one direct crossing; the only difference between cities is the road to Arar:
- The Jadidat Arar crossing: north of Arar in the Northern Borders region, the main land crossing for commercial and personal shipments between the two countries.
- Inside Iraq: after the crossing the truck continues via Al Nukhayb to Karbala and Najaf, then on to Baghdad, Hillah and the south, or north to the northern governorates and the Kurdistan Region.
- Clearance: we file the export declaration through Fasah and clear on the Iraqi side, and you don’t need to attend.
- Delivery: door to door in any governorate.
Shipping times from Saudi Arabia to Iraq
| Collection city | Road to Arar | Approx. distance to Baghdad | Shared load | Private truck |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| Jeddah, Makkah and Madinah | Madinah – Hail | about 1,950 km | 5 – 7 days | 4 days |
Najaf and Karbala are the closest governorates to the crossing, so shipments reach them about a day before Baghdad, while Basra and the Kurdistan Region add one to two days.

Furniture shipping from Saudi Arabia to Iraq
Most of our customers to Iraq are families returning home after years in the Kingdom, with a lot of heavy furniture, so our packing is built for a long distance on hot, dusty roads:
- Large dining tables: turned over with legs removed, chairs wrapped and stacked.
- Glass display cabinets: emptied and wrapped in heavy cardboard with corner protectors.
- Bedrooms: fully dismantled, mirrors and upholstered headboards in two layers.
- Sofas and rugs: thick plastic then a fabric cover; rugs rolled and tied.
- Appliances: fridges and washing machines emptied and dried a day before, screens in padded covers.
- Cartons: new, numbered by room, with the inventory written together with you.
The inventory matters a lot in Iraq, because it shows the belongings are used, personal and not for trade. Then we load, secure and deliver door to door.
Car shipping from Saudi Arabia to Iraq
- Shared carrier: sedans from SAR 1,650 from Riyadh, and SUVs from SAR 2,000.

How to estimate the cost of your shipment to Iraq
Example: a family in Riyadh with a three-bedroom apartment, a majlis, a kitchen and 30 cartons, returning to Baghdad. On a shared load the price starts from SAR 4,100, with a final price of around SAR 4,700 depending on appliances and cartons. For a whole house of four bedrooms or more, a private truck from SAR 5,900 is usually more economical.
Tips to save on shipping to Iraq
- Reduce the volume: heavy old furniture costs more to ship this far than it is worth.
- Don’t ship new appliances in their boxes: they are treated as goods.
