Saudi Express moves furniture from Jeddah to Khamis Mushait and Abha in a closed truck suited to mountain roads, dismantling and wrapping your furniture in Jeddah, then unloading and assembling it in your district in the southern highlands. Prices start from SAR 460 for a small load, SAR 555 for a two-bedroom flat and SAR 650 for a three-bedroom flat, and we confirm the exact figure once we have seen your furniture. Bookings by phone or WhatsApp on 0560533140.

How far is Khamis Mushait from Jeddah and how long is the trip?
Khamis Mushait is roughly 650 to 700 km from Jeddah depending on the road, and a moving truck needs 8 to 10 hours of driving with rest, because the final part of the trip climbs into the Asir highlands. So the furniture usually arrives the day after loading, though small loads can arrive the same evening if loading starts at dawn.
Abha is a short drive from Khamis Mushait, so a truck reaching Khamis carries on to Abha without a separate trip, with a small charge for the local leg. Delivery to Ahad Rafidah or other nearby governorates can be arranged on the same trip too.

Which road does the truck take from Jeddah to Khamis Mushait?
The truck has two main options: the coastal road south and then the climb from Tihamah into the highlands through one of the mountain passes, or the mountain road through Taif and Al Baha down into Asir. Each has its merits; the coastal road is flatter for most of the way but its closing climbs are steep, while the mountain road is slightly longer but stays on high ground.
We pick the road according to the truck size, the weight of the load and what each pass allows for trucks, and confirm it on booking day because truck rules on mountain roads can change. Our rule is that the safer road for the load beats the shorter one, even if it adds an hour.
What does it cost to move furniture from Jeddah to Khamis Mushait?
Moving furniture from Jeddah to Khamis Mushait starts from SAR 460 for a small load such as one room or a few items, SAR 555 for a two-bedroom flat and SAR 650 for a three-bedroom flat, with services such as a crane, extra wrapping and storage added as needed. A villa or large house is priced after a survey, because the volume varies so much from one home to another.
What a Jeddah to Khamis Mushait move starts at, plus add-ons:
| Service | Details | From (SAR) |
|---|---|---|
| Small load | One room or a few items | 460 |
| Two-bedroom flat | With living room, kitchen and appliances | 555 |
| Three-bedroom flat | With appliances and removed AC units | 650 |
| Crane in Jeddah | For items too big for the staircase | 140 |
| Additional wrapping | Glassware, ornaments and crockery | 140 |
| Storage in Khamis Mushait | A warehouse near your destination, monthly | 185 |
Note that a villa’s cost is not just a matter of bedrooms; large majlis sets, wooden kitchens and outdoor seating take up a lot of truck space. That is why we ask for photos of every room and annex and give you an itemised price before moving day.
How do we protect furniture from rain and fog in Asir?
We protect furniture from rain and fog with waterproof wrapping for fabric pieces and mattresses, covers over boxes during unloading, and by carrying everything straight indoors. The Asir highlands see rain and fog on many days of the year, especially on summer afternoons and early mornings, and ordinary cardboard weakens when wet.
- Mattresses and fabric sofas sealed in plastic over a blanket.
- Large boxes given an outer plastic layer when rain is expected.
- Large plastic sheets ready to cover the path from the truck to the door.
- No piece left outside during unloading, even in clear weather.
- In heavy rain we wait briefly inside the closed truck rather than unload in the downpour.
💡 Fog and mountain roads
If fog is thick on a pass, the driver slows down or stops somewhere safe until visibility improves, and we tell you straight away about any change to the arrival time.
What is covered when we move you to Khamis Mushait?
🔧 Dismantling and numbering
Beds, wardrobes and wooden kitchens taken apart with screws grouped under each piece.
🌧️ Rain-ready wrapping
Sealed plastic for fabric and mattresses, rigid card for glass, blankets for wood.
🚛 Closed truck
Sized for mountain roads, with a driver used to steep passes.
🏠 Assembly in the south
Unloading, assembly and arranging in Khamis Mushait or Abha before the crew leaves.
Why is moving south different from moving to Riyadh or the Eastern Province?
Because the road to Khamis Mushait and Abha ends in a mountain climb, and the city itself sits high with changeable weather, while the roads to Riyadh and the east are mostly flat with dry or humid but stable weather. That difference changes three things in the plan: the truck size that suits the passes and side roads, how the load is strapped to cope with the tilt, and the kind of wrapping that stands up to rain and fog.
Districts differ too: Khamis Mushait has newer areas with wide streets, older areas with narrow lanes and managed housing with entry procedures. That is why we give no price or date before knowing the exact district, since it decides whether the large truck reaches the door or the furniture goes in two stages with a smaller vehicle.
What if the house is on an upper floor or a steep road?
We carry furniture up the stairs to any floor, use a crane when needed and send a smaller vehicle if the road to the house is too steep or narrow for a large truck. Many highland homes are built on slopes with outside staircases, and that is where fully dismantled furniture and boxes in manageable sizes help. We ask for a photo of the entrance and stairs before the date and plan the crew and time around it.
Do you deliver to the Military City and government housing?
Yes, we deliver to the Military City, government housing and institutional housing in Khamis Mushait once each site’s entry procedures are complete. Typically the resident’s name, unit number and the truck, driver and crew details are required a day or more before entry, and set reception hours may apply.
We prepare the required details in a suitable format for you to send to the site, and the truck does not leave Jeddah until approval is confirmed, because waiting at a gate after a 700 km drive wears everyone out. Because each site sets its own rules and may revise them, we check them with you when you book.
Do you move university students and new employees to Abha?
Yes, we move belongings for students joining King Khalid University in Abha and for employees and teachers posted to Khamis Mushait and Abha who move alone first. These moves are smaller than a whole house and fit a medium or small closed vehicle, combining a bedroom, a desk, basic appliances and boxes of books and clothes.
Send us the list of items and the new address, telling us whether it is student housing or a building with a lift, and we schedule delivery before studies or work begin. If the family will follow later, we store what is not needed now and move it with the rest of the home on their date.
One extra tip for students: if university housing is small, do not move all your books and belongings at once; take what you need for the first term and leave the rest with family or in storage. Space in student housing is limited, and a second small move later is easier and cheaper than an overcrowded room.
Which districts do we serve in Jeddah, Khamis Mushait and Abha?
We load from any district in Jeddah, east or west, such as Al Bawadi, Al Rehab, Al Fayhaa, Al Salamah, Al Mohammadiyah, Al Zahra, Al Safa, Al Naeem, North Obhur, Al Hamdaniyah, Al Samer and Al Sharafiyah. In Khamis Mushait we deliver to Umm Sarar, Al Iskan, Al Muwadhafeen, Al Raqi, Al Khalidiyah, Al Rayyan, Al Sharafiyah, Al Wisam, Al Wahah, Al Rasras, Al Musa, Al Naseem, Al Suqur and Al Aziziyah, and to the Military City once entry is arranged.
In Abha we deliver across districts such as Al Mansak, Al Khalidiyah, Al Muwadhafeen, Al Muruj, Al Sadd and Al Wardatain, and each city has a page for our local services: moving company in Khamis Mushait and moving company in Abha.
How do we load for a road with a long climb?
For a climbing road we keep the weight low and towards the front of the box, because a truck tilted back on a pass pushes the load towards the door. So heavy appliances and dismantled panels go in first at the front, each group strapped separately, then the boxes, then light and fragile items on top near the door.
We place a barrier of mattresses or blankets between groups, so when the truck sways on bends the pieces do not rub against each other. It takes slightly longer to load this way, but it saves a lot of scratches and breakages on arrival.
What are the steps of a Jeddah to Khamis Mushait move?
- Share room photos and your new district; we work out the load and the price.
- We confirm the right road and any entry procedures for managed housing.
- We load in Jeddah in the morning after dismantling and wrapping.
- We take the chosen road and keep in touch during the trip.
- We reach Khamis Mushait or Abha and unload straight indoors.
- We assemble the furniture and go through the list with you before leaving.
A quick comparison of same-day and next-day delivery:
| Option | Suits | What it needs |
|---|---|---|
| Same-evening delivery | Small and medium loads | Loading at dawn and a clear road |
| Next-morning delivery | Full flats and houses | Driver overnight stop and daylight unloading |
| Delivery after storage | Homes not ready yet | Storage in Jeddah or Khamis Mushait |
Where is furniture stored if the Khamis Mushait home is not ready?
Furniture can be stored in Jeddah from SAR 140 a month or in Khamis Mushait from SAR 185 a month, depending on how close you are to getting the home. Storage in Khamis Mushait suits people who know their home and are waiting for the keys, since delivery afterwards is a short run, while storage in Jeddah suits those who have not chosen a home yet. Insurance on the load is optional, and storage details are on our furniture storage page.
How do we move AC units, heaters and appliances south?
A technician removes AC units and closes the gas circuit before the move, and they can be refitted in Khamis Mushait, though many families need fewer of them in the highlands and need heaters or heat-pump units for cold winter days instead. Electric and oil heaters are wrapped and moved upright, and the fridge is emptied, dried and left standing for some hours after arrival before use.
What delays delivery in Khamis Mushait?
The main causes of delay are unfinished entry procedures for managed housing, an inexact location in new districts whose streets barely show on maps, and unloading in rain without preparation.
⚠️ Before arrival day
Send the house location on a map, make sure entry approval is in place if the housing requires it, and check the power is connected. These three things settle most causes of delay.
