Freight to Saudi Arabia, with SABER handled

Saudi Arabia is the largest economy in the Gulf, and its Vision 2030 programme is driving huge demand for construction, energy, healthcare and consumer goods. Qube Cargo ships to Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam and across the Kingdom by sea and air, with container services into Jeddah and Dammam.

For urgent and project cargo, we arrange air freight into Riyadh and Jeddah. We help you get the SABER certificates in place before shipping, so goods aren’t held at Saudi customs.

    Trust Qube with Your Saudi Arabia Freight

    Need to send something to Saudi Arabia? Defined by its strategic position in the Middle East, specifically within the southwestern part of Asia, Saudi Arabia encompasses a significant part of the Arabian Peninsula. Its boundaries are defined by the Red Sea to the west and the Persian Gulf to the east.

    The landscape showcases a plateau arrangement, adorned with splendid highlands that rise gracefully from the slender coastal fringe along the Red Sea. Dominating the landscape, over ninety percent of this realm is characterised by arid desert expanses, with the renowned “Rubʿ al-Khali” or “Empty Quarter” proudly holding the title of the globe’s most extensive continuous stretch of sand.

    We will carry out your haulage to Saudi Arabia or back to the UK quickly and securely. We will provide guidance on paperwork and clearing customs, so you won’t have to worry about a thing.
