Furniture moving and car shipping from Qassim to Kuwait does not pass the coast or Khafji as it does from the Eastern Province. The nearest route from Qassim runs north-east to Hafar Al-Batin, then the Saudi Al Raqi border, then Kuwait’s Salmi border, then Jahra and the capital. About 700 kilometres, which a truck covers in a day or a day and a half. The furniture making the trip comes from Qassimi homes: floor majlis sets with embroidered cushions, solid-wood wardrobes and hospitality sets, usually moving into tower apartments in Hawalli and Salmiya or houses in Jahra.

| Cushions and armrests | Dirt and moisture | Clean sealed bags inside large boxes |

Many people moving from Qassim to Kuwait live in tower apartments in Hawalli and Salmiya. Before the survey, send the sizes of the living room, doors and lift, so we can decide with you which majlis moves whole, which wardrobe needs extra dismantling, and which piece is hoisted from the balcony.
