Al Fares Al Dhahabi is a shipping company from Saudi Arabia to Morocco. We move furniture, cartons, cars and goods by sea in containers from Jeddah or Dammam port to Tanger Med or Casablanca, and by air for urgent shipments to Mohammed V Airport, from your door in any Saudi city to your address in Casablanca, Rabat, Fes, Tangier, Marrakech, Agadir or any Moroccan city. A full container arrives in 22 to 35 days depending on your city, and air freight in 3 to 6 days. To book, call or WhatsApp us on 0553923364.
Prices start from SAR 105 for a carton up to 20 kg, SAR 720 per cubic metre in a shared container, SAR 7,200 for a full 20-foot container and SAR 3,600 for a car, and we give you the final price before collection.
How does shipping from Saudi Arabia to Morocco work?
Morocco is far from the Kingdom by land, so furniture, cars and goods go by sea and urgent items by air. The journey runs like this:
- Collection and packing: we come to your home, dismantle, pack for the sea, number and write the inventory with you.
- Loading: into a full container at your door, or at our warehouse into a shared container where you pay per cubic metre.
- Saudi port: usually Jeddah Islamic Port, or Dammam depending on the shipping line, with export clearance through Fasah.
- Sailing: through the Red Sea, the Suez Canal and the Mediterranean to Tanger Med, sometimes with transshipment at a Mediterranean hub.
- Clearance in Morocco: at Tanger Med or Casablanca in the recipient’s name.
- Delivery: by truck from the port to your address in any city.
Transit times from Saudi Arabia to Morocco
| Collection city | Export port | Shared container | Full container |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jeddah, Makkah and Madinah | Jeddah port | 28 – 38 days | 22 – 30 days |
| Riyadh | Jeddah port | 31 – 41 days | 25 – 33 days |
| Qassim | Jeddah port | 31 – 41 days | 25 – 33 days |
| Dammam and Khobar | Dammam or Jeddah port | 33 – 43 days | 27 – 35 days |
| Al Ahsa | Dammam or Jeddah port | 33 – 43 days | 27 – 35 days |
Times are door to door to Casablanca and include waiting for the sailing, clearance at both ports and delivery. The voyage itself from Jeddah to Tanger Med is about 10 to 16 days, so northern cities such as Tangier and Tetouan receive the shipment two to four days before Casablanca, and Marrakech and Agadir about two days after it.
Shipping prices from Saudi Arabia to Morocco start from SAR 105
| Shipment | From Jeddah | From Riyadh | From Qassim | From Dammam | From Al Ahsa |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carton up to 20 kg | SAR 105 | SAR 110 | SAR 115 | SAR 115 | SAR 115 |
| Cubic metre in a shared container | SAR 720 | SAR 760 | SAR 770 | SAR 770 | SAR 780 |
| A bedroom with its cartons | SAR 2,250 | SAR 2,350 | SAR 2,400 | SAR 2,400 | SAR 2,450 |
| Full 20-foot container | SAR 7,200 | SAR 7,600 | SAR 7,700 | SAR 7,650 | SAR 7,800 |
| Full 40-foot container | SAR 13,500 | SAR 14,200 | SAR 14,400 | SAR 14,300 | SAR 14,600 |
| Sedan in a shared container | SAR 3,600 | SAR 3,800 | SAR 3,850 | SAR 3,850 | SAR 3,900 |
| Car in a private 20-foot container | SAR 9,200 | SAR 9,700 | SAR 9,800 | SAR 9,750 | SAR 9,900 |
These are starting prices to Casablanca or Tangier; the actual price depends on your volume and the city. Urgent air freight starts from SAR 26 per kg.
How many cubic metres does your home need?
| Home size | Approximate volume | Best option |
|---|---|---|
| Studio or one room | 8 – 12 cubic metres | Shared container |
| Two-bedroom apartment | 15 – 20 cubic metres | Shared or 20-foot |
| Three-bedroom apartment | 22 – 30 cubic metres | 20-foot container |
| Small villa | 35 – 45 cubic metres | 40-foot container |
| Large villa or home with a car | 50 cubic metres and more | 40-foot container |
A 20-foot container holds about 28 cubic metres and a 40-foot about 58. If your volume is above roughly 10 cubic metres, a full 20-foot container usually works out cheaper than a shared one, and faster because it doesn’t wait to fill up.
Furniture shipping from Saudi Arabia to Morocco
Most of our customers are Moroccan families returning after years in the Kingdom, and the sea voyage is long, so our packing is made for the sea:
- Moroccan salons and sofas: bubble wrap, then moving blankets, then an outer plastic layer against humidity.
- Bedrooms: fully dismantled, screws in numbered bags tied to each piece.
- Mirrors and glass: in heavy cardboard with corners, or wooden crates for large pieces.
- Dishes, copper and pottery: each piece wrapped on its own in paper in a carton with dividers.
- Appliances: emptied and dried two days before, screens in padded boxes.
- Rugs and carpets: cleaned, rolled in plastic and tied.
The inventory is the basis for the customs exemption in Morocco, so we write it with you piece by piece, dated and signed, and number every carton by room.
Customs exemption for Moroccans returning for good
A Moroccan moving their residence from the Kingdom for good can bring their used furniture and belongings in free of duty under Moroccan customs conditions, the main ones being:
- Change-of-residence certificate: an original from the Consulate General of Morocco in Jeddah or the embassy in Riyadh.
- Detailed inventory: dated and signed, which we prepare with you while packing.
- One appliance of each type: one fridge, one washer and one oven; extras are treated as goods.
- Used items: new items in their boxes pay duty plus 20% VAT, so keep their invoices separate.
- Two shipments at most: provided the second one’s items are listed in the first inventory, cleared within six months of the certificate date.
Goods left at the Moroccan port beyond the allowed period are treated as abandoned, so we sort the papers with you before the container leaves Saudi Arabia. Since the conditions can change, we review them with you at booking.
Car shipping from Saudi Arabia to Morocco
- Sedan in a shared container: from SAR 3,600 from Jeddah, covered and secured with wheel straps.
- SUV in a shared container: from SAR 4,400.
- A private 20-foot container for your car: from SAR 9,200, for luxury cars or anyone who wants it alone.
- Car with furniture: in one 40-foot container, the car at the front and the furniture behind it with a wooden divider.
Check before booking: Moroccan customs accepts a passenger car for permanent import if it is less than five years from first registration, with exceptions for some cases such as a retired Moroccan living abroad, under conditions. Duties and tax are calculated on the car’s value, fiscal horsepower and registration date, and are paid by the recipient in Morocco. In Saudi Arabia we need the registration, the owner’s ID, an Absher authorization if someone else is shipping it, a no-fines clearance and the completed vehicle export service. Details are on our car shipping page.
Urgent air freight from Saudi Arabia to Morocco
We ship from King Khalid Airport in Riyadh, King Abdulaziz Airport in Jeddah or King Fahd Airport in Dammam to Mohammed V Airport in Casablanca or Rabat-Salé. The flight takes about seven hours, and the shipment arrives in 3 to 6 days including clearance.
- Price: from SAR 26 per kg, on actual or volumetric weight, whichever is higher.
- Suits: documents and certificates, clothes and first-month essentials, and prescribed medicines.
- Tip: the container takes over a month, so fly what you need on arrival, or take it with you on the plane.

Shipping cartons and family parcels to Morocco
If all you have is cartons, bags or gifts for family, we collect them from your home and add them to the shared container: a carton up to 20 kg from SAR 105 from Jeddah and SAR 110 from Riyadh, delivered to your family’s address in any city. Larger quantities are priced per cubic metre and work out cheaper.
Shipping commercial goods to Morocco
For traders we ship full containers or per cubic metre in a shared container, to Tanger Med, Casablanca or Agadir. Goods need a commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and commercial registration; we prepare the export declaration through Fasah, and the importer in Morocco needs valid import details. An Arab certificate of origin helps with preferential customs treatment.

How to estimate your shipping cost to Morocco
Example: a family in Jeddah with a three-bedroom apartment, a Moroccan salon, a kitchen and 35 cartons, returning to Casablanca for good. The volume is about 26 cubic metres, so a full 20-foot container fits best: the price starts from SAR 7,200 and comes to around SAR 8,100 including packing and delivery, in 22 to 30 days. The same shipment from Riyadh is about 5% more, and from Al Ahsa about 8% more.
Tips that save you money shipping to Morocco
- Get the change-of-residence certificate early: without it you pay duty on everything.
- One appliance of each type: extras are treated as goods.
- Check your car’s age: over five years is usually not accepted.
- Mind the electricity: Morocco runs on 220 V and 50 Hz, so motor-driven appliances built for 60 Hz need checking.
- Choose the port nearest your city: the north, Fes and Oujda via Tanger Med, the centre and south via Casablanca.
- Book before summer: the return season raises demand for containers.
