Browse All 12 Trolley Sets at Al Shabib →Qatar's summer travel season runs April through September — the months when temperatures exceed 45°C and families head to Europe, Southeast Asia, North America, and back home across South Asia and the Arab world. Schools break. Annual leave peaks. Hamad International Airport hits its highest passenger volumes of the year.
Buying luggage before travel season means buying with time to choose properly — not rushing to whatever is available the night before departure. And buying a matched set means every member of the family has matching, stackable bags that are easy to identify on the baggage carousel in Dubai, London, or Manila.

The 5-piece sets are built for large families travelling from Qatar — five sizes from cabin to extra-large check-in means every family member has the right bag for their load, and every destination is covered from a weekend Eid trip to a month-long summer holiday.
The Biggie 5-piece covers every family member and every trip length in one purchase. Five sizes mean the XS fits in the cabin overhead, the S and M handle weekend trips, and the L and XL handle month-long annual leave with gifts. Hard shell ABS protects contents from the rough baggage handling common on long-haul routes through Middle Eastern hubs. One set. Every trip. Every family member sorted.
View BIG5D at Al Shabib →Golf Club 5-piece in the same complete size range — cabin to extra-large. Golf Club series uses a distinctive design that makes your bags instantly recognisable on the baggage carousel. Same complete family coverage as BIG5D with Golf Club styling. Compare current pricing at Al Shabib and pick whichever is available at the better price — both give you the full 5-size range.
View GLC5D at Al Shabib →The double-chain zip is the standout feature here — two layered zippers that require both to be opened simultaneously, making opportunistic tampering significantly harder than single-zip alternatives. For families travelling with gifts, valuables, or electronics in checked bags, this additional security layer is meaningful. Four sizes cover cabin to large check-in for a family of three to four.
View American Wings 4-Piece at Al Shabib →PP 4-piece giving the rigidity of polypropylene across four sizes. PP is the most scratch-resistant hard shell material — it maintains its appearance better than ABS after multiple trips with rough handling. Four sizes for a family of three to four with complete size coverage. Golf Club design is distinctive and easy to spot at baggage claim.
View GLC4D at Al Shabib →The only set in the range that includes a dedicated beauty case — a structured compact case specifically designed for toiletries, cosmetics, skincare, and medications. Keeps everything organised and accessible without unpacking a full suitcase to find your moisturiser. PP shell throughout for rigidity and scratch resistance. The most practical 4-piece set for travellers with significant cosmetics routines or families with young children who need organised medication and personal care.
View PP4D Beauty Case Set at Al Shabib →PC (polycarbonate) is the premium hard shell material for luggage. It absorbs impacts by flexing rather than cracking — the most important quality for bags that go through Hamad, Dubai, or London Heathrow baggage handling. Three PC 3-piece sets at Al Shabib.
Royal Swiss PC — the premium name in the Al Shabib trolley range. Polycarbonate shell that flexes under impact rather than cracking — important for Qatar-origin travel through major hub airports where baggage handling is heavy. Royal Swiss design is elegant and recognisable on the carousel. The top pick for frequent travellers and couples who want lasting quality in a 3-piece configuration. S for cabin, M for weekend check-in, L for longer trips.
View Royal Swiss SWS3D at Al Shabib →Hachi PC 3-piece — same polycarbonate shell quality as SWS3D with distinct Hachi styling. Compare pricing at Al Shabib between Hachi and Royal Swiss — both are PC shell 3-piece sets with the same material advantage over ABS/PP. The Hachi design may appeal to buyers who prefer a different aesthetic. The material performance is equivalent.
View Hachi HAC3D at Al Shabib →Golf Club PC 3-piece — polycarbonate shell with Golf Club distinctive branding. The third PC option in the range, giving buyers a choice of PC quality across three different design aesthetics. Golf Club is particularly easy to identify on airport carousels — the distinctive design means less chance of accidentally picking up another passenger's identical black suitcase. PC flex-impact protection across all three sizes.
View Golf Club PC GLC3D-111 at Al Shabib →American Wing 3-piece hard shell set — solid cabin-to-large sizing in a distinctive American Wing design. Good all-round value 3-piece for couples and small families who want a complete set at an accessible price point. Hard shell protection across all three sizes. American Wing brand identity is easily recognisable on baggage carousels.
View American Wing AMW3D at Al Shabib →Golf Club PP 3-piece — polypropylene hard shell in 3 sizes. PP is the most scratch-resistant of the three hard shell materials — it maintains its finish after repeated rough handling better than ABS. Golf Club styling is distinctive. Right for travellers who check bags regularly and want them to look presentable after years of use. Solid mid-range value.
View Golf Club PP GLC3D at Al Shabib →PP Hard Travel 3-piece — straightforward polypropylene 3-size set for travellers who want PP rigidity at a value price point. Three sizes cover cabin, medium check-in, and large check-in. Good for occasional travellers or those equipping the whole family separately. PP scratch resistance means the bags look better for longer than ABS alternatives at a similar price.
View PP3D at Al Shabib →ABS 3-piece — the lightest shell option in the range. ABS is lighter than PP and flexes slightly more than both PP and PC. Good for travellers who prioritise keeping the bag weight low to maximise what they can pack within airline weight limits. S for cabin, M for weekend check-in, L for full holiday. Entry-level pricing with solid everyday hard shell protection.
