Robinson’s International Shipping From UK to Dubai
We organise regular shipments to Dubai and the United Arab Emirates. There are a few different ways of exporting household items, which vary in price and speed. Robinsons offer an international removals service that will meet your budget.
Groupage Shipping to Dubai and the UAE
If your possessions are shipped in a group shipping container with other people’s, it is referred to as groupage shipping. It is the most affordable way of shipping goods from the UK to Dubai or any other location in the United Arab Emirates since you pay only for the space you take. If you have few boxes to ship, or are not moving a whole house, it is perfect. Your items are well-packed and bundled together with other packages to help you save on charges and still receive a safe and reliable delivery.
Full Container Load Shipping
Full container load shipping is when you own your own private shipping container. You can pack this container as full as you’d like, which is great if you have a lot of stuff to ship. This option gives you more space and seclusion over your shipment. It’s a good idea for large moves or if you like your things to travel solo versus other people’s.
Air Freight Shipping
If you need your belongings to be shipped to Dubai or anywhere else in the UAE urgently, air freight is the fastest option. Air freight is perfect if you have no time whatsoever to wait for your new home to be set up, or you just need your belongings to be shipped urgently. Air freight is faster than sea freight, yet it is more expensive. You can export your products directly to Dubai International Airport or any other airport in the Emirates.
For any one of them, you may request a commitment free quote to allow you to decide on the most suitable shipping option for your need. For any of these services, you can get in touch for advice and a free quote to help you choose the best shipping option for your needs.

Our recommended top 4 priorities to tackle when moving to Dubai
Immigration
There are more than 100 different kind of visas issued by the UAE Government, so to find out which visa you require and its eligibility criteria, we recommend you visit the Visa and Emirate ID section of The United Arab Emirates’ Government portal.
Home
Whether you want to live in the a beachside location like in Jumeirah or in a quieter area near some international schools like the Arabian Ranches, it is worth spending some time on property websites such as justproperty.com, propertyfinder.ae and bayut.com to check what is available and at what cost.
Schools
With 209 established private schools and about a dozen new institutions opening every year, choosing the right school for your children can easily become a stressful challenge. The Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) website provides parents and students with comprehensive information about the schooling system and schools in Dubai. To help you selecting the best suitable school, you can also consult the schools inspection reports on the same portal.
Healthcare
In 2018, the UAE was ranked one of the Top 10 most efficient healthcare systems in the world. In recent years, the Dubai Health Authority has implemented a new legislation under which all residents, expat and Emirati, as well as their dependents, must have medical insurance. As such, employers are required to provide health insurance coverage for all their employees. Sponsors are required to get insurance cover for their resident dependents. If you require more information, please check the FAQs section on the Insurance System for Advancing Healthcare in Dubai (ISAHD) portal.
