Shipping Company from Jeddah to Lebanon 0560533140 | Belongings and Car Shipping by Sea to Beirut and by Road

Saudi Express moves household and office furniture, cars and personal belongings from Jeddah to Lebanon in two ways: by sea in containers from Jeddah Islamic Port to the port of Beirut or Tripoli, the most suitable route for whole homes and cars, and by road through Jordan and then Syria in transit to the Masnaa crossing, for loads that suit it. We dismantle and pack in Jeddah, clear customs and deliver to Beirut, Mount Lebanon, the North, the South and the Bekaa; a sea shipment takes 15 to 25 days door to door. Shipping starts from SAR 1,210 and a bedroom from SAR 930. Our call and WhatsApp number is 0560533140.

How much does shipping from Jeddah to Lebanon cost?

With Saudi Express, shipping from Jeddah to Lebanon starts from SAR 1,210 for grouped belongings, SAR 930 to move a bedroom, SAR 2,790 for a flat’s furniture and SAR 2,790 for a small office. Your final figure moves with the route you pick, sea or road, the volume you send and the Lebanese area receiving it.

Before choosing a price, it helps to know the difference between a groupage load and a private container. Groupage means your goods travel with other families’ goods in one container and you pay for the cubic metres you use, the most economical option for a room or two. A private container is loaded at your door, sealed and opened in Lebanon, and suits a whole home or a car with furniture.

Starting prices on the Jeddah–Lebanon route:

The price goes up when many pieces need wooden crates, when the home in Jeddah or Lebanon is on a high floor without a lift, or when the address is a mountain village that needs a smaller vehicle after the truck. It comes down when you sort carefully, leave heavy old furniture in Jeddah and accept a groupage sailing instead of a private container.

Which route: sea to Beirut or road through Jordan and Syria?

For a whole home and cars we recommend sea to Beirut; for medium urgent loads road can be faster. The road to Lebanon crosses two countries, Jordan and then Syria, and border procedures and transit requirements in Syria can change from time to time, while Lebanon-bound loads usually cross in transit under customs escort. These changes can add days or require reloading, whereas a sea container is unaffected.

Before every road booking we check the procedure in force at the crossings that day and tell you plainly. If road is not suitable that week, we offer groupage by sea on the next sailing.

Sea freight from Jeddah to the port of Beirut

Sea freight from Jeddah to Lebanon leaves Jeddah Islamic Port, the largest port on the Red Sea, and passes through the Suez Canal to the eastern Mediterranean and the port of Beirut or Tripoli. The sea leg is relatively short; the door-to-door time adds loading in Jeddah, waiting for the vessel, clearance in Lebanon and delivery.

For a private container our crew comes to your home with the container, or with a truck that takes your goods to the loading warehouse, and arranges everything so nothing shifts: heavy items low, cartons in the middle, light items on top, with straps and separating boards. In groupage your goods are wrapped, marked with your name and sorted at the warehouse with other loads for Lebanon.

How does groupage from Jeddah to Lebanon work?

Groupage to Lebanon means your belongings are consolidated at our Jeddah warehouse with other families’ goods bound for Lebanon until a container is full, and then they sail together. You pay only for the cubic metres your goods occupy, which is why most people sending a room, a few cartons or some appliances choose it.

Your goods are wrapped at home, numbered and labelled with your name, then taken to the warehouse and measured precisely, so you know the real volume before sailing. Because the container only moves once full, your belongings may wait a week or more in the warehouse, packed and protected. We recommend it if you have time between your move and needing your furniture, and we tell you the expected date of the next container in advance.

What you pay when the shipment arrives in Lebanon

The Saudi Express price covers the transport, packing, clearance and delivery we agree on; Lebanese government charges depend on the type of goods and the owner’s status. Used items for personal use are treated differently from new appliances and goods, and value added tax in Lebanon is 11% on taxable items.

At the port there may be handling and storage fees if the container is collected after the free period, plus the broker’s fee. We explain before shipping what to expect in Beirut or Tripoli and ask the recipient to have papers ready before the ship arrives, because quick collection saves storage days.

Road freight from Jeddah to Lebanon through Jordan and Syria

Road freight from Jeddah to Lebanon passes Halat Ammar into Jordan, then Jaber and Nassib into Syria, then crosses Syria in transit to Jdeidet Yabous, opposite Masnaa on the Lebanese border. Trucks heading to another country cross Syria in transit under customs police escort between the entry and exit points, and the requirements for this transit can change.

On the Syrian–Lebanese border, goods may in some cases be transferred to a local truck in a joint zone. So we do not promise a fixed road time before checking the situation on the day you book, and we pack valuable furniture to sea standards even when it travels by road.

Air freight from Jeddah to Beirut

Air freight from Jeddah to Lebanon arrives in 2 to 4 days from King Abdulaziz International Airport to Rafic Hariri International Airport in Beirut. It suits paperwork, prescribed personal medicines, laptops and phones, and clothes you will need before the container arrives.

Air pricing differs from sea: you pay on actual or volumetric weight, whichever is greater. To find the volumetric figure, multiply length by width by height in cm and divide by 6,000. A 50 × 40 × 40 cm carton comes to 13.3 kg, so if it holds 8 kg of clothes you are charged for 13.3. Fly the small, dense items and leave pillows and blankets for the ship.

Car shipping from Jeddah to Lebanon

Cars travel from Jeddah to Lebanon by sea, either in a closed container alone or with the household goods, or on a RoRo vessel where the car is driven aboard and lashed on deck. A container gives more protection and lets you load belongings with the car; RoRo is simpler for a car on its own. On RoRo the car is not covered: it is driven into the ship and strapped down.

On arrival Lebanese customs assess the car’s value and calculate duties, and the car passes inspection before registration with the Traffic Management Authority. Some parties ask for a VIN check before shipping, so we ask for your registration and chassis number to review with our Beirut broker before loading. For a temporary trip with your car, a transit document such as a triptyque can be used.

Before handing over the car: leave about a quarter tank of fuel, remove personal items unless allowed in the container, photograph it from every side, and hand over one key with a copy of the registration. Shipping several cars is covered on car shipping.

Packing furniture for shipping from Jeddah to Lebanon

At sea, humidity is a bigger threat to furniture than distance, so household goods for Lebanon are wrapped in moisture-blocking layers: heavy-duty film against the wood, then blankets, then reinforced card on the corners. Mattresses go into sealed bags, appliances are dried completely before closing, and moisture absorbers are added inside the container.

A carpenter takes down bedrooms, wardrobes and large tables, with screws in numbered bags taped to each piece. Glass and marble get wooden crates when needed. Every carton is marked with its number and room and logged on an inventory, one copy for you and one with the shipment.

If your home in Lebanon is not ready yet

You may leave Jeddah before your home in Lebanon is ready, or be waiting for a renovation to finish. We can pack your belongings and keep them in a Jeddah warehouse until you choose a sailing date, or ship and clear the container and deliver it when it suits you after arrival.

For valuable loads we recommend marine insurance covering the container from Jeddah to delivery, calculated on the value you declare in the inventory. Write a realistic approximate value for appliances and expensive pieces and keep photos taken before packing, as these support any claim.

Appliances for your new home in Lebanon

Before shipping appliances to Lebanon, think about the power situation: cuts during parts of the day mean many homes rely on a generator subscription with limited capacity. Energy-efficient appliances such as inverter ACs, modern fridges and efficient lighting are worth shipping, while old power-hungry ones may strain your subscription more than they help.

A technician removes the AC, recovers the gas and caps the pipes; fridge and washer are dried two days ahead; screens go into padded cases. Large loose lithium batteries cannot travel with household goods, so if you have a home power system ask us before packing how it can be shipped legally.

Documents needed to ship to Lebanon

Shipping from Jeddah to Lebanon needs clear papers in the owner’s name, and we help you prepare them:

• Copy of passport and iqama or Saudi ID.
• Recipient’s name, phone and address in Lebanon, with an ID copy if they are not the owner.
• A detailed packing list of items, cartons and contents, ideally in Arabic and English.
• Electronic authorisation for the broker through Fasah to complete export from the Kingdom.
• The ocean bill of lading, issued after loading in the recipient’s name.
• For a car: original registration, plate cancellation or export papers as applicable, and the chassis number.

Lebanese citizens returning for good may benefit from customs facilities on personal effects and used furniture under Lebanese customs conditions, so keep proof of your residence in Saudi Arabia and its duration; the Beirut broker files the request.

Prohibited items when shipping from Jeddah to Lebanon

Flammable materials, gas cylinders, loose large batteries, weapons and perishable food cannot be shipped with household goods to Lebanon, and large quantities of medicine and some wireless devices need approvals first.

Commercial goods from Jeddah to Lebanon

Saudi Express ships traders’ goods from Jeddah to Lebanon in full containers or groupage: sealed food, clothing, cosmetics, household tools and spare parts. Traders need a detailed commercial invoice with quantities and values, a certificate of origin and the Lebanese importer’s details, and some goods need prior approval from the relevant Lebanese ministries.

Goods of Saudi origin may benefit from Greater Arab Free Trade Area exemptions with a valid certificate of origin, which greatly reduces clearance costs. We review the documents with you before loading and make sure the invoice matches what is actually in the container.

Areas we deliver to in Lebanon

Saudi Express delivers from Jeddah to every Lebanese governorate: Beirut; Mount Lebanon with towns such as Baabda, Jounieh, Aley and the Metn; the North with Tripoli and Akkar; the South with Saida and Tyre; Nabatieh; the Bekaa with Zahle; and Baalbek-Hermel. In mountain villages with narrow roads we arrange a smaller vehicle from the truck to your door.

After clearance our representative in Lebanon calls to fix a delivery time; the crew unloads, places items in rooms by inventory number and reassembles beds and wardrobes. Make sure someone who knows the belongings is there to check the count and sign for delivery.

Where we collect your shipment in Jeddah

We collect loads for Lebanon from every district of Jeddah, including Al Shati, Al Hamra, Al Rawdah, Al Khalidiyah, Al Zahra, Al Naeem, Al Mohammadiyah, Obhur Al Shamaliyah, Al Salamah, Al Basateen, Al Faisaliyah, Al Safa, Al Marwah, Al Nuzhah, Al Rabwah, Al Rehab, Al Samer, Al Ajwad, Al Jamiah, Al Aziziyah, Mushrifah and Al Baghdadiyah, as well as King Abdullah Economic City and Rabigh.

In towers and compounds, ask management for a furniture exit permit and book the lift two days ahead, as some only allow moves at set hours. If you have a warehouse or shop, we also collect goods and equipment from there.

Get your home ready before packing day

Two days before our crew arrives, empty the fridge and freezer and leave them open, gather in one room what flies with you, and remove gas, cleaners and sprays. Keep passports, gold and original papers in your hand bag and mark pieces you will sell or leave in Jeddah. These small things save hours on packing day and stop anything unwanted being wrapped.

Heavy fragile pieces, such as a marble table top, a chandelier or a large mirror, get a made-to-measure wooden crate, because the container is lifted by cranes in Jeddah and Beirut and may be jolted at sea. We quote the crate before building it.

Mistakes that hold your goods at the port of Beirut

Tips before shipping your home to Lebanon

Before deciding what to ship, think about the home you will live in: room sizes, staircase width, whether there is a lift, and power cuts that make a generator subscription common. Energy-efficient appliances, modern lighting and home battery systems are worth shipping; large old appliances are not.

Winter in the Lebanese mountains is cold and damp, so pack blankets and winter clothes in moisture-tight cartons. Keep the inventory and photos on your phone and send a copy to the recipient if you will not attend the delivery yourself.

To ship to Lebanon from other Saudi cities read shipping from Saudi Arabia to Lebanon, and if you also have belongings for relatives in Syria see shipping from Jeddah to Syria. Everything about this country is on our shipping to Lebanon page, and container details on sea freight.

You can also write your shipment details in the quote form and we will get back to you.
