Door-to-door moving and car shipping from Makkah to Jordan means handing us the key to your home in Makkah and receiving it in Amman, Irbid, Zarqa or Aqaba with the furniture assembled in its rooms. Between the two doors lie about 1,300 to 1,500 kilometres north — on the coastal road to Aqaba or via Madinah and Tabuk to Amman — and many stages: collection that respects Makkah’s rules, packing, export via Fasah, two border crossings, clearance with the embassy list, transport inside Jordan, then carrying up the stairs of stone houses and reassembly.

In many offers, “door to door” means the truck reaches the city, not the house, and reassembly is not included. This article sets out every link between the two doors, and what to ask before you book.

What does “door to door” really mean?
These are the seven links our service covers between your door in Makkah and your door in Jordan:
| Link | Where | What we handle |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Survey | Your Makkah home | Furniture inventory, volume estimate and choosing the truck |
| 2. Dismantling and packing | Your Makkah home | Dismantling, numbering, packing and wooden crates for glass |
| 3. Loading | Outside your door or the nearest permitted point | Orderly loading and a signed list |
| 4. Export | The Saudi border | Export declaration via Fasah |
| 5. Clearance | The Jordanian border | The returnee exemption list and administrative fees |
| 6. Inland transport | From the border to your governorate | The same truck with no intermediate unloading |
| 7. Carrying in and reassembly | Your home in Jordan | Carrying up stairs, reassembly, matching the list and removing waste |
⚠️ Ask about link 7
Before booking ask: does the price include carrying to your floor and reassembly? In Amman’s stone houses with outdoor stairs, this link alone needs a crew and planning.
Who moves from Makkah to Jordan?
| Case | Typical shipment | Usually the best option |
|---|---|---|
| A Jordanian family returning after years in Makkah | A full home and a car | A dedicated truck and flatbed, with the embassy list |
| An employee or teacher finishing a contract | Apartment furniture and appliances | A small truck or part load |
| A student finishing at Umm Al-Qura University | Books and a room’s belongings | Part load |
| A Saudi family moving for study or work | Apartment furniture | A small truck |
The first door: your home in Makkah
| Area | What we plan for |
|---|---|
| The central area around the Grand Mosque | Rules on large trucks entering; a smaller vehicle transfers to the truck outside |
| Al Aziziyah, Al Naseem and Al Rusaifah | Buildings with lifts and busy streets; early-morning loading |
| Al Awali, Al Shawqiyah and Wali Al Ahd | Spacious villas and houses; the truck outside the door |
| Taif and Al Jumum | Direct collection, or grouped with Makkah shipments |
⚠️ Hajj and Ramadan
During Hajj, rules apply to vehicles entering Makkah, and in Ramadan roads are crowded. We plan the move before or after the season, or arrange what the rules allow.
| Item | Preparation |
|---|---|
| Bedrooms and wardrobes | Fully dismantled with panels and screws numbered |
| Majlis sets and sofas | Blanket then film, pieces numbered |
| Appliances | Emptied, dried, secured and moved upright |
| Glass, chandeliers and marble | Padded wooden crates |
| Books and Qurans | Small boxes, with valuable copies wrapped individually |
What to move and what to sell?
| Item | The usual decision | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Valuable and carved furniture | Shipped | Hard to replace |
| Split air conditioners | Usually sold in Makkah | Less needed in Amman and Irbid, except in Aqaba and the Jordan Valley |
| Rugs and heavy furnishings | Shipped | Jordanian homes need them in winter |
| Cheap bulky furniture | Sold | May not fit up stone-building stairs |
| Large old appliances | Compare shipping cost with value | Jordan runs at 50 Hz versus 60 Hz in Saudi Arabia, which can affect motors |
The road from Makkah to Jordan: coast or inland?
From Makkah there are two roads to Jordan, and we choose between them according to your governorate and border traffic at shipping time:
| Item | The coastal road | The inland road |
|---|---|---|
| Route | Jeddah → Yanbu → Al Wajh → Duba → Haql → Al Durra border → Aqaba | Madinah → Tabuk → Halat Ammar border → Mudawwara → Ma’an |
| Approx. distance | About 1,300 km to Aqaba | About 1,500 km to Amman |
| Suits | Aqaba and the south | Amman and the centre, and the north via Al Haditha |
| Note | Used according to what the crossing allows for the shipment type | The usual crossing for trucks |
| Stage on the inland road | Approximate distance |
|---|---|
| Makkah to Madinah | About 420 km |
| Madinah to Tabuk | About 670 km |
| Tabuk to the Halat Ammar border | About 100 km |
| Mudawwara to Amman | About 330 km |
| Governorate in Jordan | Usually the better road |
|---|---|
| Aqaba | The coastal road via Haql and Al Durra, or inland via Mudawwara |
| Ma’an and the south | Inland via Halat Ammar and Mudawwara |
| Amman, Zarqa and Madaba | Inland via Halat Ammar, or Al Haditha depending on border traffic |
| Irbid, Ajloun and Mafraq | Al Haditha then Al Omari |
📌 A two-day trip
The truck usually covers the road in two days with an overnight near the border, then crosses in the morning and delivers on day three.
📌 Winter on the road
In winter temperatures drop sharply in Tabuk and southern Jordan, and snow can fall on high roads near Ma’an and Shobak. We watch the weather and delay departure by a day when needed.
The furniture exemption for returning Jordanian expatriates
A Jordanian expatriate returning for good may be entitled to an exemption on used furniture and effects, under conditions set by Jordan Customs, most notably:
- ✔A Jordanian citizen who has lived outside Jordan for at least a year.
- ✔Residence in Saudi Arabia has been cancelled (final exit).
- ✔The items are used household and personal items, not commercial.
- ✔A list of the items certified by the Jordanian embassy is submitted.
⚠️ The exemption does not cover everything
It covers customs duty on used items, not administrative fees at the crossings or shipping charges, and new items are treated differently. Conditions may be updated; we review your file before shipping.
Matching the list with the embassy list
We write the inventory list by numbered pieces and boxes and match it with the list the embassy certifies, so what is in the truck does not differ from the certified list at inspection at the Jordanian border.
Shipping the car from Makkah to Jordan
| Condition | What it means for you |
|---|---|
| Model age | Jordan has set a maximum age for car models allowed to be imported |
| Engine type | Diesel passenger cars are banned |
| Car condition | Salvage cars are banned, as are right-hand-drive vehicles |
| Duties | Duties and taxes including a 16% sales tax under the 2025 decision that cancelled earlier exemptions |
| Method | Price from | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Sedan on a flatbed | SAR 1,160 | 3 – 5 days |
| SUV or pickup | SAR 2,320 | 3 – 5 days |
- ✔Saudi side: export plates, Absher authorisation for the driver, clearance of fines and liens, and the istimara.
- ✔The car separate from the furniture: on a flatbed, handed over empty.
💡 Check before you pay
A diesel or old car may be refused at the Jordanian border after you have paid to ship it 1,500 kilometres. Check its conditions first; if it does not qualify, it is cheaper to sell it in Makkah.
Documents required to move from Makkah to Jordan
| Shipment | Saudi side | In Jordan |
|---|---|---|
| Furniture and effects | Passport and iqama, inventory list, Fasah authorisation and final exit visa | Embassy exemption list and Jordanian ID |
| Car | Export plates, Absher authorisation, clearance and istimara | Conditions and duties checked |

Mistakes that disrupt door-to-door moves
- ✔An offer that excludes carrying and reassembly: you find out at the foot of your Amman stairs.
- ✔Shipping a diesel car: diesel passenger cars are banned in Jordan.
- ✔A list that does not match the embassy list: a long inspection at the border.
- ✔Moving at peak season: rules and crowds in Makkah.
- ✔Not mentioning the floor and stairs: too small a crew on delivery day.
- ✔Items inside the shipped car: delay it at the border.
Before leaving Makkah: handing over the home
After loading we remove cardboard and waste and leave the home empty, and you photograph it after vacating to record its condition when handing it to the owner. Time your departure on the final exit visa after loading, so export documents are filed while your residence is valid.
Temporary storage
If your home in Jordan is not ready, or you are waiting for the end of the school year, we keep your furniture in an air-conditioned warehouse. Details on our temporary storage page.
