Welcome to FlyerTalk.

I'd take what's immediately necessary and arrange to have the remainder shipped by sea. That's pretty much how most people making permanent changes of station / residential moves do it.

And whether you ship (requiring a broker, but they pretty much know "the lay of the land" from daily interactions with local customs personnel) or take as expensive extra baggage, you will have to deal with customs with that many packages (one bag you still deal with them, but generally much more easily).

Check with the airlines under consideration for restrictions (size, weight, packing) and costs. You are likely to be surprised.

And some items may cost less to buy in the souk than to ship. Many expats skill off some items before they move, buy new in the new posting.
