Shipping Company from Madinah to Lebanon | 0555915287 Household, Commercial, Books & Car Shipping to Beirut

Al Saif International Shipping ships from Madinah, including the districts of Quba, Al Aziziyah, Al Awali, Shoran, Al Khalidiyah, Al Difa and Al Harrah Al Sharqiyah, and from Khaybar, Al Hanakiyah, Badr and AlUla, to Beirut, Mount Lebanon, the North, the Bekaa and the South. The land route heads north to Tabuk and the Halat Ammar crossing to Al Mudawwara, then through Jordan and Syria to the Al Masnaa crossing, about 1,550 km and 7–11 days door to door, shorter than the road from Riyadh or Jeddah. Containers sail from Jeddah Islamic Port to Beirut port, and air shipments fly from Prince Mohammad bin Abdulaziz International Airport to Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport in 2–4 days. A parcel up to 5 kg starts from SAR 140, one room with dismantling, packing and assembly from SAR 950, and a villa from SAR 5,200. Contact: 0555915287.

Shipping company from Madinah to Lebanon: why the route starts north

Madinah sits on the natural road from western Saudi Arabia to the north, so a truck bound for Lebanon does not need to detour through Riyadh or Qassim; it heads straight to Tabuk and the Halat Ammar crossing. As the Kingdom does not border Lebanon, the truck crosses into Jordan from Halat Ammar to the Al Mudawwara centre, drives through Jordan to Jaber, enters Syria at Nassib, passes Damascus to Jdeidet Yabous and crosses into Lebanon at Al Masnaa, reaching the Bekaa before Beirut and Mount Lebanon.

This relative closeness makes road a practical option for Madinah customers for many shipments. However, transit procedures in Jordan and Syria differ from time to time, and at some borders the load may be moved onto another truck, so we review the route before every booking. If the shipment is a full home, a car or a large commercial load, we offer a sea container from Jeddah Islamic Port to Beirut port and let you compare the figures in the itemised quote.

The right crossing for Madinah shipments

Some competitors name Al Haditha as the crossing for Madinah shipments, but Halat Ammar is the natural exit because it lies on the Tabuk road, facing Jordan’s Al Mudawwara centre. Choosing the correct crossing saves a long distance and gets the paperwork ready for the place the truck will actually pass.

Why Madinah customers rely on us

Madinah has a Lebanese community of doctors, teachers, engineers and traders, students at the Islamic University and Taibah University, and families who have lived near the Prophet’s Mosque for many years. Each has a different need: the student moves books and a library, the doctor moves a home and a clinic, and the trader sends dates and products to the Lebanese market.

• A direct land route via Tabuk and Halat Ammar with no detour.
• A sea option from Jeddah Islamic Port for full homes and cars.
• Special care for books and libraries, packed in small, sturdy boxes.
• Dismantling, packing and assembly crew, with assembly in Lebanon on request.
• Arrival arrangements: a smaller vehicle for narrow streets and a furniture hoist for upper floors.
• Optional insurance: insurance can be added for valuable items on request.

Shipping prices from Madinah to Lebanon

Starting prices in Madinah are the same as in every Saudi city. Distance and the chosen route raise the final price: a sea shipment from Madinah needs inland transport to Jeddah port, and distant towns such as AlUla and Al Hanakiyah may add a pickup cost. The itemised quote confirms the price after the survey.

Factors that affect the price

The price depends on the size and weight of the shipment, the service requested and the pickup location: a flat near the Central Area needs organised truck access, unlike a house in Shoran or a farm in Al Awali. The road or sea route counts, as does the number of transfers at borders. In Lebanon, the floor, the lift and the type of road count too: a house in Baabda or the Metn on a mountain road may need a smaller vehicle, and a high flat in Hamra may need a furniture hoist.

How to cut the cost

• Consolidated road freight by the kilo is the cheapest way to send boxes and small shipments, and the distance from Madinah is shorter than from most cities.
• For a full home, compare road with a container from Jeddah port.
• Sell duplicate books and old furniture before shipping.
• Use boxes of the same size so they stack easily.
• Prepare the Lebanese consignee’s details and documents early.

Furniture moving from Madinah to Lebanon

We start with a survey of the home by visit or video, counting the pieces and deciding what needs dismantling. The crew then arrives with strong boxes, bubble wrap, fabric blankets, plastic covers and cardboard corners. Every box is numbered and logged in the contents list required by Lebanese Customs, and marked with the room it goes to in the new home.

Bedrooms

Beds and wardrobes are dismantled and screws kept in numbered bags taped to each piece; mirrors go in separate crates and mattresses in tight covers that keep out dust on the desert road to Tabuk.

Kitchens and IKEA kitchens

A wooden kitchen is taken apart into units with numbered doors and shelves, and the marble top is protected in a wooden frame. IKEA kitchens are dismantled in reverse order because they are designed for a single assembly; their parts are kept in labelled bags and they are reassembled in Lebanon on request.

Appliances and air conditioners

The fridge is drained and dried, the washing machine is locked with transit bolts and screens go in padded boxes. ACs are removed by a technician who pumps down the gas and seals the pipes, and we recommend reinstalling them in Lebanon with a local technician.

Libraries, antiques and office furniture

Students and teachers in Madinah own large libraries, and books are heavy despite their size, so we pack them in small, sturdy boxes that stay easy to lift and stack them at the bottom of the load. Antiques 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.

Mountain roads and tall buildings in Lebanon

Reaching a home in Lebanon is very different from Madinah’s wide streets. Mount Lebanon has climbing roads and sharp bends in Keserwan, the Chouf and Aley, and Beirut has tall buildings and narrow streets in Ras Beirut and Achrafieh. We therefore unload at a suitable point, use a smaller vehicle for the last stretch and a furniture hoist for upper floors, all agreed in advance.

Sea containers from Jeddah Islamic Port to Beirut port

The container is loaded outside your home or warehouse in Madinah and trucked to Jeddah Islamic Port, then sails up the Red Sea and through the Suez Canal to Beirut port or Tripoli port in about 15–25 days port to port depending on the shipping line. On arrival we 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.

Sea suits a full household, cars and large commercial loads, and it suits Madinah traders exporting Ajwa, Safawi and Sukkari dates and food products to Lebanon in large quantities: the container is sealed and not opened until the port.

Commercial goods and Madinah dates to Lebanon

Madinah dates, especially Ajwa, are in demand among Lebanese families both as gifts and for trade. We ship goods as partial loads on the consolidated land service from SAR 11 per kg, or as full loads in a sea container. A commercial 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 Madinah 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; Madinah’s closeness to Halat Ammar keeps the road option on the table, and the itemised quote confirms the method. 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. The car is inspected and photographed before loading.

Car documents

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

Importing a car into Lebanon

The rules that decide whether a car is accepted in Lebanon are set by Lebanese Customs and change from time to time, so confirm them before shipping and ask about the approximate clearance cost; the rules apply according to the regulations in force at the time of shipping. We deliver the car safely to the port or border and follow its collection with you.

Air freight from Madinah to Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport

For documents, prescribed medicines, spare parts, books needed quickly and students’ bags, we fly from Prince Mohammad bin Abdulaziz International Airport in Madinah, or via King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah, 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, prepare the paperwork and follow clearance in Beirut through to door delivery, and we advise reducing empty space in large, light boxes.

Road, sea or air?

For Madinah customers: road is direct and relatively short when transit procedures allow, sea from Jeddah suits a full home and a car, and air is for urgent items.

Customs, crossings and exemptions

Export clearance goes through the Fasah platform, and import clearance is handled by Lebanese Customs at the Al Masnaa crossing, Beirut port or the airport. We follow transit procedures in Jordan and Syria.

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.

Commercial documents

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

Returning residents, students and family gifts

A Lebanese family returning for good from Madinah may benefit from personal-effects rules according to the regulations in force at the time of shipping, and we advise checking with Lebanese Customs before shipping. Students who have finished at the Islamic University or Taibah University move their books and libraries, and families send dates and gifts to relatives.

We also move goods from Beirut, the Bekaa, the North and the South to Madinah, by road through Syria, Jordan and Halat Ammar, or by sea to Jeddah Islamic Port and then by road, for arriving families, students and traders.

The right time to ship

Spring and autumn suit wooden furniture and books: summer on the Tabuk road is hot, while winter in Tabuk and Lebanon’s mountains is cold and can bring snow on higher roads. Avoid Madinah’s busiest visiting seasons if you can, and book early before holidays.
