What can I take with me to Dubai?

In our many years as an established removal company to Dubai, we have mastered the art of shipping just about everything as part of our international removals to Dubai service. Dubai, much like every country, has a list of restricted and prohibited items that you won’t be able to take with you. However, if Dubai allows it – we’ll move it! For a comprehensive list of items you can or cannot send as part of your removals to Dubai, your moving coordinator will be able to help.

What does a removal to Dubai cost?

Our international removals to Dubai services are tailored to accommodate a range of client budgets and time frames. We can send removals to Dubai using air freight or sea freight vessels, although sea freight is most commonly used for large domestic and commercial removals. Air freight method are recommended for smaller since air freight costs are calculated based on the weight of your removals, so it can become quite expensive. However, air freight means you can receive your removals in Dubai within 7 to 10 days. If you are looking for cheaper international removals to Dubai from the UK, we would always suggest one of our sea freight solutions. If the size of your removals is small, you can use our shared shipping option. Your removal will be assessed, packed and loaded onto a shipping container that is shared with other customers and you will only pay for the space your items use up. Alternatively, for larger home removals a dedicated shipping container removal is ideal. You will pay one flat rate for a 20ft or 40ft shipping container that is for your exclusive use. Shipping your items means you will have to wait slightly longer, but it is highly recommended for full removals and those looking for a money saving removals option. Your move coordinator will be able to discuss our international removals services with you in greater detail, discuss the best option for your requirements and provide you with a removals to Dubai quote.
