Shipping company from Al Ahsa to Lebanon: the route your shipment takes

Al Ahsa is not a single city but a wide oasis whose districts and villages are spread over long distances, from Al Mahasin, Al Salmaniyah and Al Mazrouiyah in Hofuf to Ain Musa and Al Rashidiyah in Al Mubarraz and the villages of the eastern and northern oasis. So planning a shipment to Lebanon starts with the pickup point itself, then the choice of route. Because Saudi Arabia has no direct border with Lebanon, a truck heads north from Al Ahsa via Hafar Al Batin and Al Jouf to the Al Haditha crossing, enters Jordan at Al Omari, crosses Jordan to Jaber, enters Syria at Nassib, passes Damascus to Jdeidet Yabous and crosses into Lebanon at Al Masnaa.

This long route passes through transit countries before arrival. Transit procedures in Jordan and Syria differ from time to time, and at some borders the load may be moved onto another truck. That is why we review the route before booking and offer Al Ahsa customers sea freight from nearby Dammam port to Beirut port when it suits the shipment better, especially for a full home, a large commercial load or a car. The final decision appears in the itemised quote before loading.

Al Ahsa’s closeness to Dammam port is a real advantage

Many competitors write about Al Ahsa as an inland city that only suits road freight, yet King Abdulaziz Port is a short drive away on the highway. That means a container can be loaded outside your home in Hofuf, reach the port the same day and stay closed until it arrives in Lebanon. This matters for families with heavy furniture or pieces that should not be handled again and again.

Why Al Ahsa customers trust us

Al Ahsa has a Lebanese community working in education, medicine, engineering, agriculture and factories, and families who have lived in the oasis for years and know its spacious houses, majlis rooms and gardens. When these families decide to return to Saida, Tripoli or Zahle, or when a local trader wants to send Khalas dates or factory products to the Lebanese market, each of them needs a company that understands distances inside the oasis and the route to Lebanon at the same time.

• Pickup from every village in the oasis: not only Hofuf and Al Mubarraz, but Al Omran, Al Uyun, Al Jafr and Al Qarah too.
• Road and sea: we choose with you between the route through Jordan and Syria and a container from Dammam port.
• Packing built for a long journey: strong materials and protection from dust, heat and humidity.
• Arrival arrangements in Lebanon: a smaller vehicle for narrow streets and a furniture hoist for upper floors.
• An itemised quote before loading day.
• Optional insurance: insurance can be added for valuable items on request.

Shipping prices from Al Ahsa to Lebanon

We use the same starting prices in every Saudi city. Even so, distance and the chosen route raise the final price: Al Ahsa is one of the farthest cities from Lebanon by road, and villages far from Hofuf may add a pickup cost, while for sea freight the nearby port reduces part of the inland cost. The itemised quote confirms the final price after the survey.

What raises or lowers the price?

One factor is size: the number of rooms and pieces for furniture, and weight or volume for goods. Then the service: dismantling, packing and assembly costs differ from loading only. Then the home’s location: a traditional house in the old Al Kut quarter with its narrow lanes needs different arrangements from a villa in Al Muhammadiyah or a farm in Al Jafr. Then the route, road or sea, with the transit fees or port charges that come with each. Finally, the delivery address in Lebanon: a high-floor flat in Baabda without a large lift is different from a ground-floor house in Chtaura.

Tips to reduce the cost

• Consolidated road freight by the kilo is the cheapest way to send boxes and small shipments.
• For a full home, ask for a comparison with a 20 ft container from Dammam port.
• Sell or donate old furniture before shipping, because space is what you pay for.
• Gather the family’s belongings into one dispatch instead of several separate ones.
• Send the Lebanese consignee’s full details early.

Furniture moving from Al Ahsa to Lebanon

An Al Ahsa home is usually spacious, with a large majlis, a main kitchen and sometimes an outdoor kitchen, many rooms and a garden. Moving all of it to a flat in Beirut or a house in the mountains takes planning before packing: what will be shipped, and what will not suit the new home. Our coordinator visits or surveys by video and counts the pieces, then the crew arrives with strong boxes, bubble wrap, fabric blankets, plastic covers and cardboard corners, numbering every box and logging it in the contents list.

Bedrooms and majlis seating

Beds and wardrobes are dismantled and screws are kept in numbered bags taped to each piece. Al Ahsa majlis seating, with its cushions, back rests and rugs, is wrapped in covers that keep out dust and friction and placed on top of the heavy load. Dust on the long desert road gets into any opening, so we seal covers carefully.

Kitchens and IKEA kitchens

A wooden kitchen is taken apart into numbered units and the marble top is protected in a wooden frame. IKEA kitchens are dismantled in reverse order because they are designed to be assembled once, their small parts are kept in labelled bags, and they are reassembled in Lebanon on request.

Appliances and air conditioners

Fridges and freezers are drained and dried, washing machines are locked with transit bolts and screens are packed in padded boxes. Split ACs are removed by a technician who pumps down the gas and seals the pipes, and we recommend having them reinstalled in Lebanon by a local technician.

Antiques and office furniture

Brass coffee pots, incense burners, Al Ahsa pottery and paintings are each packed in their own crate, and insurance can be added for valuable items on request. Office and clinic furniture is dismantled and numbered by room so it can be set up in Lebanon as it was.

Delivering in Lebanon’s mountains and narrow streets

Lebanon is mountainous, and the road to a house in Keserwan, the Chouf or Aley may be a steep, narrow lane that a large truck cannot climb, while Beirut districts such as Achrafieh and Hamra are packed with tall buildings and tight streets. We therefore unload at a suitable point and use a smaller vehicle for the last stretch, with a furniture hoist for upper floors. All of this is agreed in advance in the quote.

Sea containers from Dammam port to Beirut port

Containers leave King Abdulaziz Port in Dammam, or Jeddah Islamic Port when the booking is on a line from the west coast, and pass through the Suez Canal to Beirut port or Tripoli port in about 15–25 days port to port depending on the shipping line. We then arrange collection, clearance and door delivery. A 20 ft container starts from SAR 2,350, a 40 ft container from SAR 3,750, and a medium household in a shared container from SAR 2,350.

This option suits a full household, cars and large commercial loads, and it particularly suits Al Ahsa traders exporting dates and date products, food products and building materials to distributors in Beirut, Tripoli and Saida. The container is loaded at the warehouse, sealed and delivered to Lebanon without being unloaded on the way.

Commercial goods and Al Ahsa dates to Lebanon

Al Ahsa is a historic palm oasis, and its dates such as Khalas, Ruzeiz and Sheshi are well known to Lebanese families who have lived in the Kingdom. We ship commercial goods as partial loads on the consolidated land service from SAR 11 per kg, or as full loads in a sea container. The shipment needs a commercial registration, invoice, packing list and certificate of origin, plus a health certificate for food including dates, and duties in Lebanon are calculated according to the regulations in force at the time of shipping.

Car shipping from Al Ahsa to Lebanon

Cars to Lebanon normally go by sea, inside their own container or on a RoRo vessel onto which the car is driven, or by land transit through Jordan and Syria; the itemised quote confirms the method. We collect the car from your home in Hofuf or Al Mubarraz and take it to the loading yard, where it is inspected and photographed before shipping. A sedan starts from SAR 2,350, an SUV from SAR 3,750, and a car inside its own container costs the same as a 20 ft container.

Car documents

• Valid registration.
• Owner’s ID or iqama.
• Export plates or an export certificate.
• A bank letter if the car is financed.
• No unpaid traffic fines.

Before you ship your car to Lebanon

Lebanese Customs sets the rules for importing cars, and these rules change from time to time, so do not rely on hearsay or an old experience. Confirm with Lebanese Customs before shipping that your car is accepted for import and ask about the approximate clearance cost; the rules apply according to the regulations in force at the time of shipping. We take care of delivering the car safely to the port or border and following its collection with you.

Air freight from Al Ahsa to Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport

Urgent or light shipments, such as official documents, spare parts, prescribed medicines and a university student’s bag, fly via King Fahd International Airport or Al Ahsa Airport to Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport in 2–4 days. The price starts from SAR 33 per kg, charged on actual or volumetric weight, whichever is higher; volumetric weight = length × width × height ÷ 6000.

We collect from your home in Al Ahsa, prepare the paperwork and follow clearance in Beirut through to door delivery. For large, light boxes we advise reducing empty space, as volumetric weight may exceed actual weight.

Comparing road, air and sea

For Al Ahsa customers: a container from nearby Dammam port is a practical option for a full home, consolidated road suits small and medium shipments, and air is for whatever cannot wait.

Customs, crossings and exemptions

Export from the Kingdom goes through the Fasah platform, and import is handled by Lebanese Customs at Beirut port, the airport or the Al Masnaa crossing. By road, the shipment passes transit procedures in Jordan and Syria, which we follow for you.

Furniture moving documents

• National ID or iqama, and passport.
• A numbered contents list.
• Fasah authorisation.
• The Lebanese consignee’s ID, mobile number and full address.

Goods documents

Commercial registration, invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and a health certificate for food.

Returning residents, students and gifts for family

A Lebanese family ending its residence in Al Ahsa and returning for good may benefit from personal-effects rules according to the regulations in force at the time of shipping, and should check with Lebanese Customs before shipping to learn the conditions. Students send books and clothes to universities in Beirut and Tripoli, and families send gifts and dates to relatives; all of it travels with consolidated freight.

Parcels, bags and online stores

A parcel up to 5 kg starts from SAR 140, and consolidated freight from SAR 11 per kg. Our Al Ahsa customers send boxes of dates and gifts to family in the South and the Bekaa, bags of clothes to children studying in Lebanon, and online-store products to Lebanese buyers. We group these parcels on the road service with door delivery, or send them by air when urgent.

Prohibited items and correct packing

We cannot accept flammables, gas cylinders, loose batteries, medicines without a prescription, or plants and seeds without a permit, which includes palm offshoots that cannot be shipped without an agricultural permit.

• New, strong boxes, with heavy items at the bottom and light ones on top.
• Glass and plates wrapped individually.
• Contents and room written on every box.
• Dates packed in sealed containers if they are part of personal goods.

Shipping from Lebanon to Al Ahsa

We also move goods from Beirut, the Bekaa, the South and the North to Hofuf and Al Mubarraz, by sea to Dammam port and then by road to the oasis, or by road through Syria and Jordan, for arriving families and importing traders. Saudi procedures apply according to the regulations in force at the time of shipping.

The right season to ship

Summer heat in Al Ahsa and on the desert road is intense, and winter in Lebanon’s mountains can bring snow on higher roads, so spring and autumn suit wooden furniture. Demand rises before holidays and at the end of the school year, so book early.
