Moving from Jeddah to Makkah
Jeddah and Makkah are close, and many people work in one and live in the other, so moves between them are frequent in both directions. The distance is fairly short, so furniture can often be loaded, delivered and reassembled the same day. But Makkah’s streets and seasons make planning essential even for this short move.
With SaudiMoving you describe your move once, with Jeddah as pickup and Makkah as delivery, and your request reaches companies working between the two cities who contact you with offers to compare.
Approximate distance
Approximate distance
≈ 80 km
Approximate driving time
≈ 1 hours
A rough estimate for a car at a normal time. In the seasons and at peak times the drive can take much longer.
A one-day move
Because the distance is short, many companies treat this as a long local move: one crew dismantles, packs and loads in Jeddah, then unloads and reassembles in Makkah the same day. So start early so reassembly is done before evening.
But the date matters: in the last ten days of Ramadan and during Hajj the road is busy, and truck movement may be restricted at Makkah’s entrances and in some districts. Choose a day away from the seasons and ask the company about your district. See the Makkah page.
What to ask before agreeing
- Does the offer include dismantling, packing and reassembly on the same day?
- Can the truck reach the door in Makkah, or is a smaller vehicle needed?
- Are there truck restrictions in the district on your date?
- Does the offer include AC removal and reinstallation?
- What happens if the crew is delayed by traffic.
The other direction: Makkah to Jeddah
If you’re moving from Makkah to Jeddah, all of the above applies: choose a loading day in Makkah away from the seasons and make sure the truck can reach your home there. In Jeddah, book the service lift if you’re moving into a tower — many require it. Choose Makkah as pickup and Jeddah as delivery in the request, and see the Jeddah page.
