I am looking for movers who can move household items from UAE to Riyadh. I have maybe a pickup worth of items and the only big things are a bed and TV. The rest are boxes.

Thanks!

Hi Kym, moving personal items via land requires the owner to be present at all custom checkpoints along the way for clearance. Movers cannot do that on your behalf.

If you choose sea freight (not really sure if this applies to air as well) you would only need to get initial papers cleared off from UAE (export permit, and maybe NOC from your previous employer) and hand it over to the movers. The clearance on Saudi side would also be done by movers' agent.

It would be good for you to contact the local movers in UAE and schedule a survey on the items you want to move - they would be able to give the best suggestion.
