Shipping from Dubai to Turkey
Turkey is the quintessential East meets West location. It’s a fascinating country steeped in history and tradition. The climate is excellent which will really appeal to anyone who enjoys an outdoor lifestyle. The Turks are generally very welcoming to foreigners, although red tape and bureaucracy can be a real challenge. The food is amazing and the cost of living is low although accommodation in Beirut can be expensive, make sure you are getting paid in an international currency such as USD GB pounds or Euro.
However, whether you are shipping from Dubai to Turkey for the first time, migrating to Turkey for good, or returning home as a Turkish 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 Turkey?
- Moving your Personal Belongings
- Employment
- Visas / Permits
- Finding a new home
- Bank accounts
- Schools
When should I start obtaining quotes for my relocation to Turkey?
We would strongly suggest you start obtaining quotes for shipping to Turkey 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. Turkey 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 Turkey from Dubai?
The cost of relocating from Dubai to Turkey 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 Turkey are as follows:
Full Container (20ft / 40ft) – Starting from AED 14,000 AED
Groupage (Shared Container) – Starting from AED 750/CBM
LCL (Less than a container load) – Starting from AED 550/CBM
Air (Quickest, Most Expensive) – Starting from AED 30/KG

How long does it take to ship my goods to Turkey?
When estimating how long shipping from Dubai to Turkey 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 – (3-4 Days)
Sole Container by Sea – (18-24 Days)
Part Container by Sea – (30-40 Days)
Another consideration when estimating time-frame is processing the shipment and customs clearance in Dubai and in Turkey. We would allow up to 1 week at both ends. (Airfreight should take a couple of days at both ends).
