Al Fares Al Dhahabi is a shipping company from Saudi Arabia to Qatar. We move furniture, belongings, cars and goods by road, from your door in any Saudi city to your address in Doha, Al Rayyan, Al Wakrah or any city in Qatar. The route crosses at Salwa and then Abu Samra, and shipments arrive in 1 to 6 days depending on the city, while urgent air freight arrives in one to two days. To book, call or WhatsApp us on 0553923364.
Qatar is one of the closest Gulf countries to the Kingdom, so prices are lower than to the UAE: a small carton starts from SAR 105, a room of furniture from SAR 790 and a sedan from SAR 950, and you get the final price before collection.
How does shipping from Saudi Arabia to Qatar work?
All road freight for furniture and cars between Saudi Arabia and Qatar passes through a single border: Salwa on the Saudi side and Abu Samra on the Qatari side. The truck leaves your city on the road to Al Ahsa, then the Salwa road, and after clearance at both posts it continues about 100 km to Doha.
- Route: your city → Al Ahsa → Salwa → Abu Samra → Doha → the rest of Qatar.
- Border: Salwa – Abu Samra, the only land crossing between the two countries.
- Clearance: we clear the shipment on both sides with its papers; you do not need to be at the border.
- Delivery: door to door, to the address you give us in Qatar.

How to work out the cost of shipping to Qatar
Example: a family in Riyadh with a bedroom, a majlis and 15 cartons, going to an apartment in Doha on a shared load. The bedroom starts from SAR 880, the majlis is similar and the cartons go by weight, so the total is roughly SAR 1,750 to 2,100. The same load from Dammam costs about 7% less, and from Jeddah about 35% more because of the distance.
Tips to save on shipping to Qatar
- Choose a shared load: if you are not in a hurry, especially from Riyadh, Qassim and Jeddah.
- Ask about private from the Eastern Province: from Al Ahsa and Dammam a private truck costs little more for whole homes.
- Reduce the volume: large old pieces cost more to ship than they are worth.
- Book before peak seasons: traffic at Salwa rises before holidays and Eids.
