Furniture moving from Dammam to Jordan
The trip from Dammam to Amman is one of the longest road trips from the Kingdom, close to 1,600 kilometres across the north. Furniture covering that distance needs packing that withstands long vibration, summer heat and winter cold, and a fixed arrangement inside the truck.

| Arabic majlis sets | Layout photographed, then each piece numbered and wrapped separately |
| Bedrooms and wardrobes | Fully dismantled with panels and screws numbered |
| Sofas and suites | Thick blanket then film, legs protected |

Packing details in our packing guide.
New furniture and appliances
If you buy new furniture or appliances in the Eastern Province before travelling, planning to ship them with your home, note that new items may be treated differently from used ones by Jordanian customs and may attract duty. Keep their invoices and tell us at the survey so we list them separately — or consider buying them in Jordan after arrival.
The exemption for returning Jordanian expatriates
Jordan is not a Gulf state, and its customs exemption has its own conditions. A Jordanian expatriate returning for good may be entitled to an exemption on used household furniture, under conditions set by Jordan Customs, most notably:
- ✔The owner is a Jordanian citizen who has lived outside Jordan for at least a year.
- ✔They have cancelled their residence in Saudi Arabia (final exit).
- ✔The furniture is used household furniture, not commercial.
- ✔A list of the items certified by the Jordanian embassy is submitted.
More details in our guide to shipping from Saudi Arabia to Jordan.
A Jordanian leaving the Eastern Province for good? Arrange shipping before you fly
- 1Cancel residence at the right time: the exemption is linked to cancelling residence, so align your final exit with loading.
- 2The embassy list first: prepare the list of items certified by the Jordanian embassy before loading.
- 3Fasah authorisation: lets the broker complete the Saudi-side formalities without you.
- 4The car early: export plates and clearance before your files are closed.
- 5A receiver in Jordan: name someone to receive the shipment if it arrives before you.
Part loads and storage
If you have few belongings, a part load means paying for their volume only: they are grouped with other shipments heading to Jordan, kept separate and labelled in your name. If you are travelling before your Jordan home is ready, or waiting for exemption formalities, your belongings can be stored until the right time.
Details on our temporary storage page.
Car shipping from Dammam to Jordan
We ship the car on an enclosed or open flatbed, separate from the furniture truck. But before shipping, make sure the car can be imported into Jordan; import rules there are more detailed than in the Gulf.
Jordanian rules to check before shipping
- ✔Model age: Jordan has set a maximum age for car models allowed to be imported.
- ✔Banned vehicles: salvage cars (body damage, fire, flood or rollover), right-hand-drive vehicles and diesel passenger cars.
- ✔Duties and taxes: cars are subject to duties and taxes, including a 16% sales tax under a 2025 decision that cancelled earlier exemptions.
- ✔Temporary entry: foreign cars entering temporarily have a separate system with its own conditions and duration.
Car documents on the Saudi side
- ✔Export plates from the Traffic Department for final export.

Office and branch moves to Jordan
Some Eastern Province companies open branches or representative offices in Amman. An office move needs labelling by department, sealed archive boxes, data backups before dismantling equipment, and separation in the documents between used furniture and new equipment, which is treated commercially.
Route and border crossings from Dammam to Jordan
The route runs north-west from Dammam along the long northern road through Hafar Al Batin, Rafha, Arar and Turaif to Al Qurayyat, then the Saudi Al Haditha border, then Jordan’s Al Omari border, then Amman.
| Stage | Approximate distance |
|---|---|
| Dammam to Hafar Al Batin | About 450 km |
| Hafar Al Batin to Turaif and Al Qurayyat | About 900 km |
| Al Haditha to Amman | About 250 km |
| Total, Dammam to Amman | About 1,600 km |
Summer and winter on the road
The northern road combines two climates in one trip: high summer heat on the eastern stretch near Dammam and Hafar Al Batin, and severe winter cold on the northern stretch near Turaif and Al Qurayyat, sometimes with fog and occasionally frost. We pack furniture and electronics to handle the difference, plan the trip to avoid night driving in difficult conditions, and tell you about any weather delay.
