Home moving and car shipping from Qassim to Oman is one of the longest road routes in the Gulf: about 1,800 kilometres from Buraidah to Muscat via Riyadh and the Empty Quarter border. Qassim’s advantage is that its road passes through Riyadh, the biggest beneficiary of the Empty Quarter crossing that shortened the distance to Oman without crossing a third country. A home move over this distance needs a full plan: a survey and inventory, packing that withstands days on the road, and delivery on schedule.

Qassim to Oman in numbers
A home move starts with the survey
Over 1,800 kilometres, any mistake in estimating volume is costly: a truck too small means a second trip, and too large means paying for empty space. So we start with the survey:
- 1A walk through every room: what moves and what is sold or stays.
- 2Measuring large pieces: to know what needs dismantling.
- 3Estimating boxes: kitchen, clothes and books.
- 4Special items: marble, chandeliers and curios.
- 5The new home: its plan and entrances in Oman.
Packing that withstands days on the road
The trip crosses the Empty Quarter, and the truck body gets very hot in summer. So everything is packed for a multi-day trip:
| Item | Preparation |
|---|---|
| Bedrooms and wardrobes | Fully dismantled with panels and screws numbered |
| Qassimi majlis sets | Layout photographed, pieces numbered and wrapped separately |
| Sofas and suites | Thick blanket then film |
| Appliances | Emptied and dried the day before, secured and moved upright |
| Electronics | Dedicated boxes that protect them from heat |
| Glass, marble and chandeliers | Padded wooden crates |
| Candles, perfumes and medicines | Carried with you; heat spoils them |
Labels by the rooms of the new home
We give each room in your Oman home a colour and label every box and piece with the colour of the room it is going to. On arrival the crew knows where everything goes, and reassembly finishes faster.
