Dedicated FTL to Jeddah
Dedicated window 3–4 days. You pay for the vehicle (3-ton closed, 7–10 ton, 12 m or 15 m trailer, low-bed if oversize). Fleet: 3-ton, 7-ton and 10-ton closed pickups, 12 m and 15 m trailers, low-bed for oversize machinery, refrigerated trucks when the cargo needs a cold chain, and car carriers for vehicles. Leaves when this file is ready — not when a co-loader appears.
LTL groupage to Jeddah
Groupage window 4–6 days. Western groupage 2–4 times a week; Hajj/Umrah weeks need earlier booking Indicative AED 250–420 / CBM. Compatible cargo only — furniture must be packed to ride with pallets.
Air freight to Jeddah
Air freight lands at King Abdulaziz International. Express spare parts, documents and samples use this lane. During Hajj and peak Umrah, air space and city access both tighten — book earlier and name the suburb.
Sea freight to Jeddah
Sea is the natural Jeddah option. We load 20 ft, 40 ft, 45 ft or LCL at Jebel Ali and deliver to Jeddah Islamic Port or King Abdullah Port, then truck to your door or warehouse. Split/groupage containers cut CBM cost when you do not fill a box.
Road window to Jeddah
Dedicated: 3–4 days. LTL: 4–6 days. Western groupage 2–4 times a week; Hajj/Umrah weeks need earlier booking Jeddah is the Red Sea city: longer road than Dammam, busier last mile than Riyadh during peak Umrah months. We run closed pickups and trailers from Dubai via Al Batha, then the western highway. A Corniche apartment, an industrial-city warehouse, and a port-side delivery are not the same rate.
Air and sea windows to Jeddah
Air: 24–48 hours via King Abdulaziz International Airport. Sea: 7–14 days Jebel Ali to Jeddah Islamic Port or King Abdullah Port. Air still needs city recovery after the airport.
What sits outside the clock
Packing, SABER waits, missing receiver phones, weekend borders, and a warehouse that stopped receiving at 14:00. Those are holds, not transit.

How a booking to Jeddah works
- 01 · Send the briefPhotos, piece count, UAE pin, and the Jeddah district or plot — not only the country.
- 02 · We confirm the vehicleLTL or FTL with the lane partner, pickup or Ras Al Khor drop-off, packing if intake fails. Dedicated: 3–4 days. Groupage: 4–6 days.
- 03 · Papers before wheelsWestern Region papers still need a matching invoice and packing list. If the load is heading onward to Makkah or Madinah, say so on the booking so we do not treat Jeddah as the final door.
- 04 · HandoverJeddah villas and towers often need a small closed truck after port or border clearance. Industrial City and port hinterland can take a 15 m trailer. Say which, with two receiver numbers that pick up.
