How does shipping from Saudi Arabia to Lebanon work?
There is no direct border between Saudi Arabia and Lebanon, so road freight passes through two countries in transit, and we also offer a sea option:
- Stage one: from your city to the Al Haditha crossing near Al Qurayyat, or the Halat Ammar crossing north of Tabuk for Jeddah shipments.
- Jordan in transit: entry at Al Omari or Al Mudawwara, exit at the Jaber crossing.
- Syria in transit: entry at Nassib, then Damascus and Jdeidet Yabous.
- Lebanon: entry at the Masnaa crossing, with final clearance there, then delivery to the door.
- Sea alternative: a container from Jeddah or Dammam port to Beirut or Tripoli in 12 to 15 days.

Furniture shipping from Saudi Arabia to Lebanon
Many of our customers are Lebanese families returning home after years in the Kingdom, and the shipment crosses three borders, so our packing is double:
- Pianos and leather sofas: in thick moving blankets and straps.
- Paintings and ornaments: in flat cardboard boxes with corner protectors.
- Bedrooms: fully dismantled, mirrors in heavy cardboard.
- Libraries: books in small numbered cartons.
- Kitchen: dishes and crystal each in its own place in a carton with dividers.
- Appliances: emptied and dried a day before, screens in padded covers.
The inventory is the basis of the transit crossing and of the customs exemption on used furniture in Lebanon, so we write it with you piece by piece.
Customs exemption on used furniture in Lebanon
A Lebanese returning home for good can benefit from a customs exemption on used furniture and belongings under Lebanese customs conditions, including how long the furniture has been owned, a moving certificate from the Lebanese embassy in Riyadh and proof that the residence has been cancelled, with a clear inventory. We review the papers with you before collection so the shipment isn’t delayed at Masnaa.
