Shipping from the UAE to Saudi Arabia
- Land freight
- Sea freight
- Air freight
Shipping from the UAE to Saudi Arabia is mostly by road: the truck is loaded at your door in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah or any emirate and heads west to the Ghuwaifat crossing in Abu Dhabi, then Al Batha on the Saudi side, and on to Al Ahsa, Dammam and Riyadh before the rest of the Kingdom east, west and south. That makes land freight the first choice for household furniture, cars and shop goods.

What to know before shipping to Saudi Arabia
For full containers and heavy cargo, sea freight from Jebel Ali to Dammam or Jeddah is an option, and air freight suits urgent parcels and documents. Either way, the shipment needs a detailed packing list and the recipient's full details in the Kingdom, because inspection at the crossing checks the contents against the list.
For every destination we start the same way: a numbered packing list of what is in each carton, photos of valuable items before packing, and the recipient's full details with a mobile number.
