Shipping company from Jeddah to Lebanon: the port city and the western road

Jeddah differs from other Saudi cities when it comes to shipping to Lebanon for a clear reason: it is home to Jeddah Islamic Port, a major Red Sea port from which ships sail north through the Suez Canal to the eastern Mediterranean, where Beirut and Tripoli ports lie. A Jeddah customer does not need to move a container a long way to the port, as a customer in Riyadh or Qassim does; the container is loaded in their own district and reaches the port within hours. That is why sea freight from Jeddah to Lebanon is a natural choice for full households, cars and commercial goods.

Alongside the sea, the road remains available. The truck leaves Jeddah north on the Madinah road, continues to Tabuk, crosses the border from the Saudi Halat Ammar crossing to Jordan’s Al Mudawwara crossing, then drives through Jordan via Ma’an and Amman to the Jaber crossing, enters Syria at Nassib, passes Damascus, then crosses Jdeidet Yabous to Lebanon’s Al Masnaa crossing and on to the Bekaa and Beirut. The distance is about 1,900 km and the time 8–12 days door to door.

Transit procedures in Jordan and Syria differ from time to time, and some crossings may require the load to move onto another truck before continuing. So we review the route and the procedures in force before booking any road shipment from Jeddah, and we compare road and sea with the customer; if the sea suits their shipment better, we recommend it and explain the difference in time and cost.

When to choose sea and when to choose road from Jeddah?

Sea from Jeddah suits villas, full households, commercial containers and cars, because the container is loaded once and stays sealed until Beirut, with no transfer between trucks at the crossings. Road suits medium furniture, boxes, consolidated parcels and a car on a transporter when the customer wants delivery in the Bekaa or Beirut in fewer days than the sea takes. Air is for urgent items only.

Why Jeddah customers choose Al Saif

Jeddah is a large, varied city: flats and buildings in Al Rawdah, Al Hamra, Al Safa and Al Nuzha; villas in Al Shati, North Obhur and Al Muhammadiyah; the old Al Balad quarter with its narrow lanes; and warehouses and factories in the Industrial City, Al Khumrah and Al Samer. It also has a long-established Lebanese community working in trade, restaurants, hospitals and companies. We know how to load from each of these building types, and at the other end we know how to deliver to homes in Beirut and the mountains.

  • Close to the port: your container goes from your Jeddah home to Jeddah Islamic Port in hours.
  • An honest road-versus-sea comparison: we explain the difference before booking and never push one method.
  • Road route review: we confirm transit procedures before setting a date.
  • Dismantling, packing and assembly crew: in Jeddah, with assembly in Lebanon on request.
  • Mountain delivery: a smaller vehicle for the last stretch and a hoist for upper floors.
  • Itemised quote: you know every line before loading.
  • Optional insurance: insurance can be added for valuable items on request.

Shipping prices from Jeddah to Lebanon

In Jeddah we use the same starting prices as in every city in the Kingdom. Distance and the chosen route do raise the final price, though: the road from Jeddah is about 1,900 km, and sea freight carries port and clearance costs in Beirut, and both appear in the itemised quote that confirms the final price before booking. One of Jeddah’s advantages is that the haul to the port is short, so inland distance adds little to the price of sea freight.

Item Starts from
Parcel up to 5 kg SAR 140
Consolidated road freight, per kg SAR 11
One room with dismantling, packing and assembly SAR 950
Medium household by sea (shared) SAR 2,350
20 ft container to Beirut SAR 2,350
40 ft container to Beirut SAR 3,750
Villa SAR 5,200
Sedan SAR 2,350
SUV SAR 3,750
Car inside its own container Same as a 20 ft container
Commercial goods by road, per kg SAR 11
Air freight, per kg SAR 33 (actual or volumetric, whichever is higher)

What sets the price of your Jeddah shipment

The price starts with volume: rooms and pieces for furniture, cubic metres in a shared container, and weight or pallets for cargo. Then the method: a full or shared container, a shared or dedicated truck, or air. Then the services: dismantling, packing and assembly, AC removal, and storage before shipping or after arrival. Then the location in Jeddah: an eighth-floor flat in Al Rawdah without a large lift differs from a ground-floor villa in Obhur. Finally the address in Lebanon: delivery in Beirut straight after the port differs from delivery to a village in the Chouf or Akkar that needs a smaller vehicle.

For air freight from King Abdulaziz Airport, the price is based on actual or volumetric weight, whichever is higher, where volumetric weight = length × width × height in centimetres ÷ 6000. That is why we compress clothes and choose sensibly sized boxes so you do not pay to ship air.

How to save on shipping from Jeddah to Lebanon

  • For a full household, ask for a sea-container price; the port’s proximity makes it an economical option in Jeddah.
  • If you have little furniture, ship it in a shared container or by consolidated road freight.
  • For boxes and parcels, consolidated road freight is the cheapest way if you are not in a hurry.
  • Get rid of old, heavy pieces before shipping.
  • Prepare your papers and the Lebanese consignee’s details early so the container is not held at the port.
  • Book early before return seasons, when demand for containers and trucks rises.

A furniture container from Jeddah Islamic Port to Beirut port

A container is how many Jeddah customers move their home to Lebanon. We arrive at your home with the container and the crew, dismantle and pack the furniture and stack it inside so nothing shifts; the container is then sealed and taken to Jeddah Islamic Port, and sails through the Red Sea and the Suez Canal to Beirut or Tripoli port in 15–25 days port to port, depending on the shipping line. In Lebanon we arrange collection and customs clearance, then move the furniture to your home and assemble it on request.

A 20 ft container starts from SAR 2,350 and suits a two- to three-room flat, while a 40 ft container starts from SAR 3,750 and suits a villa or large home. If your furniture does not fill a full container, a medium household in a shared container starts from SAR 2,350. Tripoli port is a good option if your home is in the North — Tripoli, Zgharta or Akkar — as it shortens the road from port to door.

Furniture moving from Jeddah to Lebanon

Whether you choose a container or a truck, packing remains the foundation of safety. Our crew comes to your home in whichever Jeddah district you live in, lists and photographs the pieces, dismantles what needs dismantling, wraps each piece in the right material, numbers the boxes and prepares a matching contents list, which customs on both sides require.

Bedrooms and living rooms

Beds and wardrobes are dismantled piece by piece, with screws and hinges in numbered bags taped to the piece. Mirrors and glass are wrapped in foam and rigid cardboard, and mattresses go into sealed covers. Jeddah’s high humidity means we take care to air wooden pieces before packing and place moisture absorbers inside the container, so wood and fabric do not arrive in Lebanon smelling damp after weeks at sea.

Kitchens and IKEA kitchens

A wooden kitchen is dismantled into numbered units, and marble or granite is protected with a wooden frame. IKEA kitchens are taken apart by a technician who knows the system, photographs them before dismantling and keeps the metal fittings in bags so they can be rebuilt in Lebanon as they were. If your new kitchen in Lebanon has different dimensions, we let you know before shipping what can be fitted.

Appliances and air conditioners

Fridges are emptied and dried, washing-machine drums are locked with transit bolts, and screens go into padded boxes. Split ACs, common in Jeddah homes, are removed by a technician after the gas is pumped down, with both units and the pipes packed separately. In Lebanon some large appliances may need a voltage stabiliser depending on the local power supply.

Antiques, valuables and office furniture

Antiques, chandeliers, paintings and fine tableware each go into a wooden crate or double-wall carton, and insurance can be added for valuable items on request. For companies on Tahlia Street and King Abdulaziz Road moving an office or opening a branch in Beirut, we dismantle desks and cabinets, pack equipment and files, number them by department and deliver them to the new office layout.

Delivery in Beirut and the mountains: narrow roads and high floors

Jeddah residents are used to wide streets, but Lebanon is different. The streets of Achrafieh, Hamra and Ras Beirut are narrow and busy, Verdun’s buildings are tall, and homes in the Metn, Keserwan, Jounieh, the Chouf and Aley sit on climbing mountain roads. So at booking we ask about the floor, the lift and the street width, and we arrange a smaller vehicle for the last stretch if the truck or container cannot reach the door, plus an external furniture hoist for upper floors. After unloading we reassemble on request and remove the packing materials.

Road freight from Jeddah to Lebanon via Halat Ammar

For those who prefer the road, the truck leaves Jeddah for Madinah and then Tabuk, crosses Halat Ammar to Al Mudawwara, crosses Jordan via Ma’an and Amman to the Jaber crossing, enters Syria at Nassib, continues to Damascus and Jdeidet Yabous, and reaches Lebanon at Al Masnaa. This western route suits Jeddah shipments because it avoids a detour east towards Al Haditha. We keep you updated at every crossing until delivery.

The road distance from Jeddah to Beirut is about 1,900 km, and all these times depend on border procedures or shipping-line schedules.

Commercial goods shipping from Jeddah to Lebanon

Jeddah is the trade gateway of the western Kingdom, and its traders export foodstuffs, dates, perfumes, clothing, plastic products, packaging materials and spare parts to Lebanon. We ship these goods as a partial road load from SAR 11 per kg, as a full load in a dedicated truck, or in a container from Jeddah Islamic Port to Beirut or Tripoli.

Partial and full loads

A trader sending small or recurring quantities adds the goods to a shared truck or shared container and pays only for the space used. Large orders go in a dedicated truck or a full container. We collect from warehouses in the Industrial City, Al Khumrah or Al Samer, stack the goods on pallets, wrap them and complete export formalities.

Commercial goods documents

  • Commercial registration.
  • Commercial invoice.
  • Packing list.
  • Certificate of origin.
  • Health certificate for foodstuffs.

Car shipping from Jeddah to Lebanon

Jeddah is a convenient starting point for shipping cars to Lebanon because the port is in the city. A car normally goes by sea, inside its own container or on a RoRo vessel onto which it is driven, or by land transit on a car transporter. The itemised quote confirms the right method for your car. A sedan starts from SAR 2,350, an SUV from SAR 3,750, and a car in its own container costs the same as a 20 ft container. We collect the car from your home or the showroom and take care of getting it into the port or onto the transporter.

Car shipping documents from Jeddah

  • Vehicle registration (istimara).
  • Owner’s ID.
  • Export plates or export certificate.
  • A bank letter if the car is financed.
  • No unpaid traffic fines.

Rules for importing a car into Lebanon

Lebanese Customs sets the rules for importing cars, and they change from time to time, so confirm the rules for your car with Lebanese Customs before shipping. We prepare the export papers in Jeddah and follow the car’s arrival and clearance in Beirut in line with the regulations in force at the time of shipping. The car is handed over empty of personal belongings.

Customs, crossings and exemptions

For sea freight from Jeddah, export formalities are completed at Jeddah Islamic Port and the container is cleared at Beirut or Tripoli port. For road freight we obtain the Fasah authorisation and submit the contents list before exiting through Halat Ammar; the shipment then crosses Jordan and Syria in transit, with the possibility of moving the load onto another truck at some crossings, until it is cleared at Al Masnaa or an inland customs centre. Air shipments are cleared at Rafic Hariri Airport.

Lebanese families returning home for good from Jeddah may benefit from exemptions on personal effects and used furniture; those exemptions and their conditions are set by Lebanese Customs, so check them in advance and keep proof of your residence in the Kingdom. All procedures follow the regulations in force at the time of shipping.

Documents for moving furniture from Jeddah

  • National ID or iqama.
  • Passport.
  • Contents list.
  • Fasah authorisation.
  • The Lebanese consignee’s details: ID, mobile and full address.

Returning expatriates from Jeddah, students and family gifts

Jeddah’s Lebanese community is one of the city’s long-established communities, and many families have lived there for one or two generations. When a family decides to return for good to Beirut, the mountains or the South, it needs to move a whole home and perhaps a car, and someone to arrange the container, papers, clearance and delivery. We handle that with them step by step and suggest what is worth shipping and what is better sold in Jeddah.

Students at Beirut universities, or Lebanese students at Jeddah universities, usually ship boxes of books, clothes and devices, and consolidated freight by the kilo suits them. For anyone sending gifts to family in Lebanon — Madinah dates, Jeddah perfumes, Eid clothes — parcels start from SAR 140 up to 5 kg, and air is available for close dates.

Parcels, bags and e-commerce from Jeddah

We collect parcels, bags and boxes from any Jeddah district and ship them by consolidated road freight by the kilo, or by air when urgent. Jeddah online stores selling perfumes, abayas, dates and coffee to customers in Lebanon can send their orders with us regularly, and we deliver them to each customer’s address with a tracking reference.

Air freight from King Abdulaziz Airport to Beirut

For urgent shipments we fly from King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah to Rafic Hariri International Airport in Beirut in 2–4 days, starting from SAR 33 per kg on actual or volumetric weight, whichever is higher (L × W × H ÷ 6000). We collect from your home or office, prepare the papers and follow clearance and delivery in Lebanon. Air suits documents, prescription medicines, spare parts, trade samples and gifts before occasions.

Prohibited items and packing

We do not ship flammables, gas cylinders, loose batteries, medicines without a prescription, or plants and seeds without a permit. Keep cash, jewellery and original documents with you. We wrap glass in foam and rigid cardboard, sofas in fabric and plastic, antiques in wooden crates and tableware in double-wall cartons, place moisture absorbers in the container, and mark every box with its number, contents and destination room.

Tracking and storage

We tell you when the container leaves Jeddah port and when it is due in Beirut, or when the truck clears each crossing on the road route, and then the delivery appointment. If you need to vacate your Jeddah home before your Lebanese home is ready, we store the furniture in a closed warehouse in Jeddah until dispatch, or in Lebanon after arrival, priced by volume and duration.

Shipping from Lebanon to Jeddah

We also ship from Lebanon to Jeddah, for families coming to work in Jeddah and for traders importing Lebanese products: by sea from Beirut or Tripoli port to Jeddah Islamic Port, by the same road in reverse, or by air from Rafic Hariri Airport to King Abdulaziz Airport. Documents are reviewed according to the regulations in force at the time of shipping.

When to ship from Jeddah to Lebanon?

Demand rises before the summer holidays, the end of the school year and Eid, and shared containers and trucks fill up quickly, so book early in those periods. In winter, snow can affect the Dahr al-Baidar road and mountain roads, and we factor that in when setting a delivery date in the mountains and the Bekaa.
