Shipping from Dubai to Bahrain
The small island nation of Bahrain has long been a western ex-pat location. Once the financial hub of the Arabian Gulf, the countries best days may arguably be behind it. Consequently, it’s considerably cheaper to live here than in places like Dubai, Abu Dhabi or Doha. There is a good selection of housing and international schools. If you enjoy water sports, Bahrain has a number of beach and sailing clubs and many people enjoy the slower pace of life offered on the island.
However, whether you are shipping from Dubai to Bahrain for the first time, migrating to Bahrain for good, or returning home as a Bahraini citizen. Relocating can be a daunting experience and the upheaval of changing Jobs/Lifestyle/Location can be stressful.
What should I prioritise when moving from the UAE to Bahrain?
- Moving your Personal Belongings
- Employment
- Visas / Permits
- Finding a new home
- Bank accounts
- Schools
When should I start obtaining quotes for my relocation to Bahrain?
We would strongly suggest you start obtaining quotes for shipping to Bahrain at least a couple of months before the target move date.
This should provide time to consider your quotations, formally advise the shipping company you have chosen and very importantly, secure your preferred moving dates.
Also, this allows enough time to finalise your visa/travel/shipping documents and all the other formalities you have to contend with before your move. Bahrain is a county with quite a bit of red-tape and so this is likely to take more time than you anticipate.

What is the cost of moving to Bahrain from Dubai?
The cost of relocating from Dubai to Bahrain depends on a few factors. The most important factor is the volume of furniture. Generally speaking, the more furniture you include in your move, the higher the cost.
Secondly is the Mode of shipping you choose.
You can choose to move your items in your own shipping container, or if you’re moving only a few items and only a small amount of furniture you could choose a shared container.
This is known as “Groupage” in the moving industry. Of course, sharing a container, or Groupage, is likely more cost-effective than a dedicated container. However, the compromise you make is shipping times can be a little longer.
Approximate shipping cost options to Bahrain are as follows:
Full Container (20ft / 40ft) – Starting from AED 10,000 AED
Groupage (Shared Container) – Starting from AED 600/CBM
LCL (Less than a container load) – Starting from AED 450/CBM
Air (Quickest, Most Expensive) – Starting from AED 18/KG

How long does it take to ship my goods to Bahrain?
When estimating how long shipping from Dubai to Bahrain takes, we have to consider the mode the goods would be travelling in. Air is the quickest and Sea is the slowest.
Approximate transit times
Air Shipment – (2-3 Days)
Sole Container by Sea – (8-10 Days)
Part Container by Sea – (15-20 Days)
Another consideration when estimating time-frame is processing the shipment and customs clearance in Dubai and in Bahrain. We would allow up to 1 week at both ends. (Airfreight should take a couple of days at both ends).
