Shipping Options When Moving to Egypt from the UK
Groupage Shipping to Egypt (LCL)
The most popular option for Egyptians moving from the UK. You share a container with other shipments and pay only for the space you use. Best for 2 to 12 cubic metres — ideal for boxes, a studio or one-bedroom flat, or part loads. We consolidate groupage shipments regularly on the UK to Egypt route, so you benefit from competitive rates and frequent departures.
Full Container Shipping to Egypt (FCL)
Best for full household moves and larger volumes — typically a 3-bedroom house and above. You get exclusive use of the container with a fixed loading date and direct routing. Fewer handling points means lower risk of damage. Choose between a 20ft container (28–32 m³) or a 40ft container (60–65 m³).
Air Freight to Egypt
When speed matters. Air freight moves your essential items from the UK to Egypt in 3 to 7 days. Higher cost per kg but the fastest option available. Best suited for 1 to 30 boxes, important documents, or items needed urgently ahead of your main sea shipment.

Moving Tips for UK to Egypt Shipments
- Declutter before packing — volume drives cost on groupage, so reducing items reduces price
- Keep valuables with you — passports, jewellery, cash, and irreplaceable documents should travel with you personally
- Photograph high-value items — take photos of electronics and furniture for insurance purposes before packing
- Label boxes by room — add Arabic labels if your Egypt delivery team needs them
- Confirm building access early — check lift availability and building management rules at your Egypt delivery address
- Plan around customs timing — allow extra time for customs clearance, especially during Egyptian public holidays
- Book your move date early — container space fills up, especially in summer months when demand is highest
