Shipping company from Saudi Arabia to Lebanon: how a shipment really gets there

What anyone shipping from Saudi Arabia to Lebanon should know from the start is that the two countries share no border. A truck leaving Riyadh, Jeddah or Dammam does not drive straight into Lebanon; it crosses three countries. It leaves the Kingdom into Jordan, crosses Jordan into Syria, then crosses Syria into Lebanon. That simple fact explains why shipping times to Lebanon differ from those to Jordan or Syria, and why we always discuss the sea option with the customer alongside the road option.

Shipments from the Central Region, the Eastern Province and Qassim usually leave through the Saudi Al Haditha crossing to Jordan’s Al Omari crossing, while shipments from Tabuk and some western cities leave through Halat Ammar to Al Mudawwara. The truck then drives north through Jordan to the Jaber crossing, enters Syria at Nassib, continues via Daraa to Damascus, then west to Jdeidet Yabous, entering Lebanon at Al Masnaa in the Bekaa. From there it descends via Chtaura and Dahr al-Baidar to Beirut and the rest of the country.

Transit procedures in Jordan and Syria are not always the same; they change from time to time, and at some crossings the load may have to move onto another truck before continuing. That is why we never book a road shipment to Lebanon before reviewing the route and the transit procedures in force, and when a shipment is large or better suited to the sea, we offer sea freight to Beirut port and explain the difference in time and cost before the customer decides.

Three ways to ship to Lebanon and when to choose each

Road freight suits most household furniture, cars carried on transporters, medium cargo and consolidated parcels, because it reaches the door directly without a port stage. Sea freight suits a full household in a container, cars inside a container or on a RoRo vessel, and large commercial loads. Air freight is for urgent items: documents, prescription medicines, clothes, spare parts and trade samples that must arrive within days.

Why customers choose Al Saif for shipping to Lebanon

Shipping to Lebanon is not an ordinary trip. It passes four crossings and three customs authorities before reaching the door, then meets mountain roads, narrow streets and tall buildings in Beirut and Mount Lebanon. So we treat it as a small project: we ask for the exact address, review the route, choose the right truck and method, and prepare the Lebanese consignee’s papers before loading day, so the shipment never stops at a crossing because one document is missing.

• Route review before booking: we never promise a time before confirming the transit procedures in force.
• A real sea option: containers from Jeddah and Dammam to Beirut or Tripoli port when the sea suits better.
• Dismantling, packing and assembly crew: in the Saudi city, with assembly in Lebanon on request.
• Mountain delivery: a smaller vehicle for the last stretch on narrow roads, and a furniture hoist for upper floors.
• Clearance on both sides: Fasah in Saudi Arabia, and follow-up with Lebanese Customs at Al Masnaa, the port or the airport.
• Itemised quote: you know what each service costs before loading.
• Optional insurance: insurance can be added for valuable items on request.

Shipping prices from Saudi Arabia to Lebanon

We use the same starting prices from every city in the Kingdom, whether the shipment leaves Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, Tabuk or Khamis Mushait. Distance and the chosen route do raise the final price, though: a shipment from Abha covers a far longer road than one from Tabuk, and a sea shipment carries port and clearance costs that differ from road freight. The itemised quote confirms the final price of every shipment.

What sets the final price

The price of a shipment to Lebanon is made up of several elements. First comes volume or weight: furniture is measured by rooms, pieces and cubic metres, cargo by weight or number of pallets, and parcels by the kilo. Then the distance from the origin city, since the gap between Tabuk and the Saudi south is more than 1,700 km. Then the shipping method: shared road, dedicated truck, sea container or air. The type of service matters too — do you need dismantling, packing and assembly, or are you handing over ready boxes? Finally, the delivery address in Lebanon: a house in a mountain village in Keserwan or the Chouf needs a smaller vehicle for the last stretch, and a tenth-floor flat in Achrafieh may need a hoist.

Air freight is charged on actual or volumetric weight, whichever is higher, where volumetric weight is length × width × height in centimetres divided by 6000. A large, light box full of clothes may be charged at more than its real weight, which is why we advise compressing clothes and spreading them across smaller boxes.

How to save on shipping to Lebanon

• Choose consolidated road freight for boxes and parcels if you are not in a hurry; it is the cheapest way for small quantities.
• For a full household, compare a dedicated truck with a sea container; the container can work out cheaper for large volumes.
• Get rid of old, heavy furniture before shipping, because you pay for space.
• Pack items in boxes of uniform size so they stack easily in the truck or container.
• Have your papers and the Lebanese consignee’s details complete before loading so the shipment is not held at the crossings.
• Book early during return and holiday seasons when demand rises.

Furniture moving from Saudi Arabia to Lebanon

Moving a home from Saudi Arabia to Lebanon is a long journey. The truck may cover two thousand kilometres and pass four crossings, and the load may be unloaded and reloaded at one of them. So we build furniture moving on packing above all. Our crew arrives at your home at the agreed time, starts by listing and photographing the pieces, dismantles what needs dismantling, packs each piece according to its nature, and numbers the boxes to match the contents list you need for customs.

Bedrooms

Beds and wardrobes are dismantled piece by piece, and screws and hinges go into small numbered bags taped to the piece itself, so the assembly crew in Beirut or Zahle finds everything in place. Mirrors and glass are wrapped in layers of foam and rigid cardboard, and mattresses go into sealed plastic covers that protect them from dust and humidity, since the road crosses desert before climbing into Lebanon’s mountains, where the climate changes.

Kitchens and IKEA kitchens

A wooden kitchen is dismantled into units, doors and shelves are numbered, and a marble or granite worktop gets its own wooden frame. IKEA kitchens need special care because they are designed to be assembled once, and careless dismantling can crack the particle board around the screw holes. So a technician who knows the system takes them apart, keeps the metal fittings in bags and photographs them before dismantling, so they can be rebuilt the same way in Lebanon. If the new kitchen in Lebanon has different dimensions, we tell you in advance what can be fitted and what needs adjusting.

Appliances and air conditioners

Fridges and freezers are drained and left to dry for a day before packing, the washing-machine drum is locked with transit bolts, and screens go into padded boxes. Split air conditioners are removed by a specialist after the gas is pumped down into the outdoor unit, and both units and the pipes are packed separately. We also remind customers that appliances run on roughly the same voltage in Lebanon, but some large appliances may need a voltage stabiliser depending on the power supply in the area.

Antiques, valuables and office furniture

Antiques, chandeliers, paintings and fine tableware each go into a wooden crate or padded double-wall carton and are secured in a separate spot inside the truck or container; insurance can be added for valuable items on request. Office furniture — desks, chairs, cabinets, files and computers — is dismantled, packed and numbered by department and delivered in Lebanon according to the new office layout, which is what companies opening a branch or a representative office in Beirut need.

Mountain roads, narrow streets and tall buildings in Lebanon

Lebanon is a mountainous country, and many homes in the Metn, Keserwan, the Chouf, Aley and Zgharta sit on steep, narrow roads that a large truck cannot enter. Beirut itself has old, narrow streets in Achrafieh, Hamra and Ras Beirut, and tall towers in Verdun and the city centre. So we plan the last stretch in advance: the large truck unloads at a suitable point, a smaller vehicle carries the goods to the door, and if the lift is small or the staircase narrow we use an external furniture hoist for the upper floors. We ask about the floor, the lift and the street width at booking so the solution is ready on delivery day and nobody is caught off guard.

Shipping furniture by sea in a container to Beirut port

For Lebanon, the sea is a real option for moving a home, not just for traders. A full household or villa can be loaded into a 20 ft or 40 ft container at your door in Saudi Arabia; the container is then taken to Jeddah Islamic Port or King Abdulaziz Port in Dammam and sails via the Suez Canal to Beirut port or Tripoli port in 15–25 days port to port, depending on the shipping line. There we arrange collection and customs clearance, then deliver the furniture to your door. The advantage of a container is that your goods are loaded once and unloaded once, with no transfer between trucks at land crossings.

If your furniture is medium in volume and does not fill a container, it can travel in a shared container with other shipments; a medium household by sea this way starts from SAR 2,350. A full container starts from SAR 2,350 for 20 ft and SAR 3,750 for 40 ft, with the distance from your city to the port added in the itemised quote.

Commercial goods shipping from Saudi Arabia to Lebanon

The Lebanese market buys foodstuffs, dates, plastic products, building materials, spare parts, clothing and cosmetics from Saudi Arabia. We ship these goods either as a partial load with other traders’ shipments, starting from SAR 11 per kg by road, as a full load in a dedicated truck, or in a full sea container to Beirut or Tripoli port.

Partial and full loads

A partial load suits a trader testing the Lebanese market with a small quantity, or sending recurring orders to customers in Beirut or Tripoli. Goods are stacked on pallets, stretch-wrapped and added to a shared truck. A full load suits large orders and departs straight after loading without waiting. For very large quantities, sea freight in a 40 ft container is often cheaper per kilo than road.

Commercial containers from Dammam and Jeddah to Beirut and Tripoli

Eastern Province traders usually export through King Abdulaziz Port in Dammam, and traders in the Western and Central regions through Jeddah Islamic Port. We collect the goods from the factory or warehouse, load the container, complete export formalities, then follow it to Beirut port or Tripoli port, which serves northern Lebanon, and arrange clearance and delivery to the consignee’s warehouse.

Commercial goods documents

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

Car shipping from Saudi Arabia to Lebanon

Cars to Lebanon normally go by sea, either inside their own container or on a RoRo vessel onto which the car is driven, or by land transit on a car transporter. The itemised quote confirms the right method for your car based on its type, the origin city and the transit procedures in force. 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 shipping documents

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

Importing cars into Lebanon

The rules for importing cars into Lebanon are set by Lebanese Customs, and they change from time to time, whether on the permitted age of the car, the fees or the specifications. So we advise every customer to confirm the rules for their car with Lebanese Customs before shipping. We help prepare the documents required on the Saudi side and follow the car’s arrival and clearance in line with the regulations in force at the time of shipping. The car is emptied of personal belongings before shipping, because a car is not the place to ship furniture or boxes.

Customs, crossings and exemptions

A road shipment to Lebanon passes Saudi customs on exit, transit procedures in Jordan and Syria, then Lebanese Customs at Al Masnaa. On the Saudi side we obtain the Fasah authorisation and submit the contents list before the truck leaves. In Jordan and Syria the shipment usually crosses as sealed transit without being opened, but some crossings may require the load to move onto another truck, which is what we check before booking. In Lebanon the shipment is cleared at Al Masnaa or an inland customs centre, at Beirut or Tripoli port for sea freight, or at Rafic Hariri Airport for air freight.

Lebanese residents of Saudi Arabia returning home for good may benefit from exemptions on personal effects and used furniture, but those exemptions and their conditions are set by Lebanese Customs, so we advise returnees to check them in advance with Lebanese Customs and keep proof of their residence in the Kingdom. All procedures follow the regulations in force at the time of shipping.

Documents for moving furniture to Lebanon

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

Road freight to Lebanon through Jordan and Syria

Road freight is the common way to move furniture, cars and consolidated parcels because it reaches the door directly. Trucks travel from Saudi cities to Al Haditha or Halat Ammar, cross Jordan to Jaber, cross Syria from Nassib to Jdeidet Yabous, then enter Lebanon at Al Masnaa. From Al Masnaa shipments fan out: the Bekaa is very close, Beirut is roughly an hour away via Dahr al-Baidar, and the North and South need an extra leg.

Distance and time from Saudi cities to Beirut

All of these times are approximate and depend on border procedures: they shorten when the crossings run smoothly and lengthen when they are busy or procedures change. That is why we give you the expected date after reviewing the route and keep you updated at every stage.

Coverage of every Lebanese region

We deliver to every Lebanese governorate, and we know each area has its own roads and buildings.

Customers in the Bekaa usually receive their shipments ahead of others, since Zahle and Chtaura are minutes from Al Masnaa. Beirut and Mount Lebanon need the descent over Dahr al-Baidar, and the North and South add half a day to a day. In every area we call the consignee before arrival to fix a convenient time.

Returning expatriates, students and family gifts

Many of our customers are Lebanese who have lived for years in the Kingdom and are now returning for good to Beirut, the mountains or the South. They are not just moving furniture; they are moving a whole life: children’s rooms, a library, appliances and perhaps a car. We plan the full move with them, suggest what is worth shipping and what is better sold in Saudi Arabia, and arrange delivery and assembly at the Lebanese home.

Lebanese students at Saudi universities, and Saudi and resident students studying in Lebanon, usually need to ship boxes of books, clothes and computers, and consolidated road freight by the kilo or by parcel is the right fit. Families sending gifts to relatives for occasions — dates, perfumes, clothes and toys — can send them as parcels from SAR 140 up to 5 kg, or by air if the date is close.

Parcels, bags and e-commerce

We ship small parcels, bags and boxes by the kilo by road, or by air when urgent. Online store owners selling Saudi products to customers in Lebanon, such as perfumes, oud, dates and clothing, can send their orders on a regular consolidated basis, and we deliver them to the Lebanese customer’s address. Every parcel is packed and numbered, and you receive a tracking reference.

Air freight from Saudi Arabia to Beirut

For urgent shipments we offer air freight from King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah, King Fahd International Airport in Dammam and other city airports to Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport in 2–4 days. Prices start from SAR 33 per kg, charged on actual or volumetric weight, whichever is higher (L × W × H ÷ 6000). Air freight suits papers and documents, prescription medicines, spare parts, samples, and clothes 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. We advise against putting cash, jewellery and original documents in a furniture shipment; carry them with you. Packing depends on the item: foam and rigid cardboard for glass, fabric covers and plastic for sofas, wooden crates for antiques and double-wall cartons for tableware. Every box is marked with its number, contents and the room it goes to in Lebanon.

If your home in Lebanon is not ready, or you need time before shipping, we offer storage in a closed warehouse in Saudi Arabia before dispatch or in Lebanon after arrival, priced by volume and duration.

Reverse shipping from Lebanon to Saudi Arabia

We also ship from Lebanon to Saudi Arabia, for families moving to work in the Kingdom or anyone sending belongings or goods from Beirut to family or a company in Saudi Arabia. It follows the same road in reverse, or goes by sea from Beirut port to Jeddah or Dammam, or by air from Rafic Hariri Airport. Documents and procedures are reviewed according to the regulations in force at the time of shipping.

When is the right season to ship to Lebanon?

Demand for shipping to Lebanon rises before the summer holidays and the end of the school year, when many expatriates return, and before the Eid holidays. In those periods trucks fill quickly and crossings get busier, so we advise booking early. Quieter periods are easier to schedule. In winter, snow can affect the Dahr al-Baidar road between the Bekaa and Beirut and some mountain roads, and we factor that into the delivery date.
