We move furniture, belongings, cars and goods by road, by truck, from your door in any Saudi city to your address in Muscat, Sohar, Nizwa, Salalah or any wilayat in Oman. Most of our shipments take the direct Empty Quarter road and arrive in 3 to 7 days depending on your city, with urgent air freight in one to two days. To book, call or WhatsApp us on 0553923364.
Prices start from SAR 125 for a small carton, SAR 1,000 for a room of furniture and SAR 1,500 for a sedan on a shared carrier, and we give you the final price before collection.
How does shipping from Saudi Arabia to Oman work?
We have two road routes to Oman and choose the best one for your city and shipment:
- The Empty Quarter road: a direct road between the two countries of about 725 km: 564 km inside the Kingdom to the Empty Quarter crossing, then 161 km from the Omani Ramlat Khaylah post to Ibri, and on to Muscat and the other wilayats. It is the shortest and fastest route for most shipments.
- The Batha route through the UAE: from the Batha crossing, then transit through the UAE to Oman’s northern border posts. We sometimes use it for consolidated shipments or those heading to North Al Batinah and Al Buraimi.
- Clearance: we clear on both sides through Saudi Fasah and the Omani Bayan system, and you don’t need to attend.
- Delivery: door to door, in any wilayat in Oman.

Furniture and belongings shipping from Saudi Arabia to Oman
The road to Oman is long and crosses the desert, so our packing is built to handle heat and distance:
- Clothes: tall wardrobe boxes with a hanging rail, so clothes travel hanging and don’t crease.
- Bedrooms: beds and wardrobes dismantled, mirrors and glass in heavy cardboard.
- Sofas and majlis: thick plastic and then a fabric cover that protects from heat and dust.
- Kitchen: each dish wrapped on its own in a carton with dividers.
- 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.
Then we load and secure everything, deliver door to door to your address in Oman, and you check the cartons against the inventory in front of you.
Car shipping from Saudi Arabia to Oman
- Shared carrier: sedans from SAR 1,500 from Al Ahsa and SAR 1,650 from Riyadh, the most economical option for ordinary cars.
- Private hydraulic flatbed: for a single car, leaving on your date straight down the Empty Quarter road.
- Enclosed carrier: for new and luxury cars, from SAR 3,250, protecting them from sun and sand all the way.
Required: a valid registration (istimara), the owner’s ID or iqama, an Absher authorization if someone else is shipping it, no outstanding fines, and export plates from the traffic department if the car is moving to Oman permanently. In Oman, a copy of the receiver’s ID card or resident card. Details on the car shipping page.
Urgent air freight from Saudi Arabia to Oman
Because road freight to Oman takes days, air freight is genuinely useful for urgent items. We fly from King Khalid Airport in Riyadh, King Fahd Airport in Dammam or King Abdulaziz Airport in Jeddah to Muscat International Airport, or to Salalah Airport for the south. The flight takes from an hour and a half to three hours, and the shipment arrives in one to two days including clearance.
- Price: from SAR 32 per kg, on actual or volumetric weight, whichever is higher.
- Suits: official documents, prescribed medicines, spare parts and small devices.
- Tip: split off what you need in the first week and send it by air, and the rest by shared road freight.
Road, air or sea to Oman?

Shipping cartons, bags and parcels to Oman
If you only have cartons, bags of clothes or gifts, we collect them from your home and send them on the shared trip, and you pay by weight: a carton up to 10 kg from SAR 125 from Al Ahsa and SAR 135 from Riyadh, each extra kg from SAR 8.5. We also serve online stores with customers in Oman at a monthly rate based on volume.
Shipping commercial goods to Oman
For traders and factories we ship per pallet, as part loads per ton, or as a full closed, curtain-side or refrigerated truck. Goods need a commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and commercial registration; we file the export declaration through Fasah, and release in Oman goes through the Bayan system. Goods of GCC origin are exempt from duty between member states with a certificate of origin.

How to estimate the cost of your shipment to Oman
Example: a family in Riyadh with a bedroom, a majlis and 20 cartons, moving to an apartment in Seeb on a shared load. The bedroom starts from SAR 1,100, the majlis is close to that, and the cartons go by weight, so the total comes to roughly SAR 2,300 – 2,700. The same shipment from Al Ahsa is about 8% less, and from Jeddah about 25% more.
Tips to save on shipping to Oman
- Choose shared: if you have few items and are not in a hurry.
- Split off the urgent items: first-week items by air, the rest by road.
- Reduce the volume: large old pieces cost more to ship this far than they are worth.
- Book before holidays: traffic rises before Eids and the start of the school year.
