Land freight from Dammam to the Gulf states

Bahrain: 25 km across the causeway from Khobar. The shipment arrives the same day.
Kuwait: through the coastal Khafji crossing, about 400 km to Kuwait City.
Qatar: through the Salwa crossing, about 400 km to Doha.
UAE: through the Al Batha crossing, about 850 km to Dubai.
Full or shared: a full truck leaves the same day, and a shared one waits to fill.

Customs and the crossings are covered in the article on shipping from Saudi Arabia to the Gulf states.

Sea freight from King Abdulaziz Port

King Abdulaziz Port in Dammam is the Kingdom’s gateway on the Arabian Gulf, and its nearest port to Asia.

To the Indian subcontinent: Mumbai and Karachi are a few days’ sailing away, and this is what ships most from Dammam.
To East Asia: China, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines, direct or with transhipment at Jebel Ali or Singapore.
To Europe, Africa and the Americas: the shorter route is from Jeddah port on the Red Sea. We move the shipment by road to Jeddah when that is quicker, or ship it from Dammam when that is cheaper.
Methods: a full container, or a part load for under 15 cubic metres.

Details are on the sea freight page.

Shipping equipment and heavy loads

The Eastern Province is the heart of the Kingdom’s industry, and the factories and workshops of Jubail and Dammam ship the most equipment.

By land: flatbed and low-bed trucks for generators, compressors and equipment, with road permits for wide loads.
By sea: flat racks and open-top containers for what a container cannot hold.
Securing: chains, straps and timber bracing, set by the load’s centre of gravity.
Lifting: mobile cranes at the loading site.

Details are on the heavy equipment shipping page.

Moving containers by train between Dammam and Riyadh

The railway links Dammam port to the dry port in Riyadh. So the container of an importer or exporter in Riyadh travels by train, and is cleared in Riyadh rather than at the port. It suits commercial goods in full containers, and spares trucks the four-hundred-kilometre road.

Moving residents’ furniture from the Eastern Province

Khobar, Dhahran and Jubail have many residents of every nationality, and the furniture of those returning to their countries is among what we ship most.

The commonest destinations: India, Pakistan and the Philippines by sea; Egypt, Jordan and Syria by land; and the UK, the USA and Canada by sea.
Dismantling and packing: at the home or the residential compound, with the entry permit arranged.
Inventory: a numbered list in English, presented to the destination country’s customs.
Timing: book two weeks before final exit, and we store the furniture if you travel before the shipping date.

Details are on the furniture and household shipping page, and an example of the land route is in the article on furniture moving from Dammam to Syria.

Shipping cars from Dammam

To the Gulf: inside an enclosed carrier, or driven by its owner on export plates.
To the Levant and Egypt: inside a closed truck by land.
To Asia: inside a container from Dammam port.
To Europe: RoRo or container from Jeddah port, with sea shipping starting from SAR 2,800 for a saloon.
Export: an export certificate from the traffic department, after fines are settled and the plates surrendered.

The general conditions are in the article on car shipping from Saudi Arabia.

Air freight from King Fahd Airport

King Fahd International Airport in Dammam serves air freight for the Eastern Province, and from it to every destination, direct or with a stop.

Time: 1 – 3 days for the Gulf and the Indian subcontinent, 3 – 6 days for Europe and East Asia, and 5 – 8 days for the Americas.
For whom: parcels, documents, samples and urgent spare parts for factories.
How it is charged: on chargeable weight. Work it out with the volumetric weight calculator.
