Shipping from Dubai to Kuwait
Kuwait is the oil-rich country at the north-western tip of the Arabian Gulf. It has a very large number of foreign workers. The choice of housing is good but rather expensive. The good news is your salary will be tax-free. Cars and driving is a bit of a double-edged sword, on one hand, used cars are very affordable and petrol is very cheap, but driving in Kuwait is not for the faint-hearted. A large SUV with good visibility is a popular option.
However, whether you are shipping from Dubai to Kuwait for the first time, migrating to Kuwait for good, or returning home as a Kuwaiti 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 Kuwait?
- Moving your Personal Belongings
- Employment
- Visas / Permits
- Finding a new home
- Bank accounts
- Schools
When should I start obtaining quotes for my relocation to Kuwait?
We would strongly suggest you start obtaining quotes for shipping to Kuwait 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. Kuwait is a county with a lot of red-tape and so this is likely to take more time than you anticipate.

What is the cost of moving to Kuwait from Dubai?
The cost of relocating from Dubai to Kuwait 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 Kuwait are as follows:
Full Container (20ft / 40ft) – Starting from AED 12,000 AED
Groupage (Shared Container) – Starting from AED 700/CBM
LCL (Less than a container load) – Starting from AED 500/CBM
Air (Quickest, Most Expensive) – Starting from AED 30/KG

How long does it take to ship my goods to Kuwait?
When estimating how long shipping from Dubai to Kuwait 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 – (12-15 Days)
Part Container by Sea – (20-30 Days)
Another consideration when estimating time-frame is processing the shipment and customs clearance in Dubai and in Kuwait. We would allow up to 1 week at both ends. (Airfreight should take a couple of days at both ends).
