Send a Package from Benin City to Any Arab Country — Air & Sea Freight.

We deliver to all 22 Arab League member states. Coverage includes the Arabian Peninsula and Gulf (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, Yemen), the Levant and Mesopotamia (Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Palestine), North Africa (Egypt, Sudan, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Mauritania) and the Horn of Africa (Djibouti, Somalia, Comoros). Some destinations have sanctions or restricted access — Syria and Yemen have significant complexity due to ongoing conflict, and Libya has instability. Message us with the exact destination and we'll confirm current feasibility.

Simply message us on WhatsApp at 0813 094 7747 with your pickup address in Benin City, the destination country and city, and your item description and approximate weight. We'll recommend air or sea freight and reply with a price. Our rider collects from your door, and we handle all documentation, customs clearance and delivery to your recipient.

Every shipment is quoted individually because the rate depends on the weight and dimensions of your item, the chosen mode (air or sea), your pickup location in Benin City, the destination country and city, and any applicable customs duty and taxes. Air freight is faster and priced higher. Sea freight is more cost-effective for heavy or bulky cargo. The UAE, Saudi Arabia and Qatar have the highest volume of traffic from Nigeria, so rates to Dubai, Riyadh and Doha are often the most competitive. Message us on WhatsApp with your item details and destination and we'll send you an exact, no-obligation price within minutes.

Air freight from Benin City to the Arab world typically takes 3 to 6 business days door-to-door, depending on the destination. Gulf destinations — Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Doha, Riyadh, Jeddah, Kuwait City, Manama, Muscat — usually arrive in 3 to 4 days due to frequent connections from Lagos. Egypt, Jordan and Lebanon take 4 to 5 days. North African destinations — Cairo, Casablanca, Algiers, Tunis — take 4 to 6 days. Sea freight takes 18 to 35 days depending on the destination port — Jebel Ali, Jeddah Islamic Port, Hamad Port, Shuwaikh and Alexandria are the main hubs. Express documents can arrive in 2 to 3 business days.

Yes. The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) includes Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman, with a common external tariff of 5% on most goods. Goods that clear at the first GCC point of entry — typically Jebel Ali in Dubai or King Abdullah Port in Saudi Arabia — can then move freely to other member states. Each country has its own customs authority — Saudi ZATCA, UAE Federal Customs Authority, Qatar GTA, Kuwait Customs, Bahrain Customs Affairs, Oman Customs. We coordinate with local brokers in each.

Yes. For shipments to Arab countries — especially Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait and Oman — halal compliance is essential for food, cosmetics and pharmaceutical products. We coordinate halal certification for eligible goods through recognised certification bodies and ensure your shipment arrives with the correct documentation. Our team also handles the packaging and handling of food items in accordance with Islamic dietary requirements. Ask us about halal certification when you message.

SASO (Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization) certification is required for many products imported into Saudi Arabia — including electronics, cosmetics, building materials, automotive parts and toys. Without SASO certification, your shipment can be held or rejected at Saudi customs. We advise you upfront on whether your goods need SASO certification and can help coordinate the certification process through our partner agencies.

ESMA (Emirates Authority for Standardization and Metrology) certification is required for many products imported into the UAE — including electronics, cosmetics, food products, toys and building materials. ESMA has been rebranded as MOIAT (Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology). We advise you upfront on whether your goods need ESMA/MOIAT certification and can help coordinate the process.

Restrictions vary by country, but there are strict prohibitions across most Arab states: alcohol, pork and pork products, non-halal meat, narcotics, firearms, ammunition, explosives, counterfeit goods, certain books and media, and any items considered offensive to Islam. Some countries have additional restrictions — Saudi Arabia prohibits Christmas decorations and Valentine's Day items during certain periods, and the UAE restricts certain religious materials. Message us before shipping anything unusual and we will advise you.

Yes, with important conditions. All food items must be halal-certified for most Arab countries. Packaged, shelf-stable Nigerian foods — dried pepper, egusi, ogbono, garri, smoked fish, packaged snacks — are typically allowed when halal-certified. Fresh meat, dairy and fresh produce require specific halal certification and health certificates. Pork and alcohol are prohibited everywhere. Saudi Arabia, UAE and Qatar have particularly strict food import controls. We'll advise on halal certification and packaging requirements for your destination.

Yes. We frequently ship documents, personal items and packages to Nigerian pilgrims in Mecca, Medina and Jeddah during Umrah and Hajj seasons. We understand the specific timing of the Hajj and Umrah calendar and can accommodate the increased volume during peak seasons. Contact us ahead of time if you need to ship during Hajj (Dhul Hijjah) or Ramadan, as those periods have higher demand and stricter customs procedures.

Yemen, Syria and Libya have ongoing conflict and instability that significantly limits logistics access. We handle shipments to these destinations on a case-by-case basis only — typically via third countries and with restricted cargo types. Contact us before booking to discuss current conditions, realistic routing and whether your shipment can be accommodated.

Yes. Vehicles are shipped via roll-on/roll-off (RoRo) or in a container by sea freight. Transit time is typically 20 to 35 days to the Gulf and 15 to 30 days to North Africa depending on the destination port. Import regulations vary significantly — Saudi Arabia prohibits the import of vehicles older than 5 years, UAE allows used vehicle imports with restrictions, Egypt has specific rules on used vehicles, and Morocco prohibits most used vehicle imports. Contact us for a vehicle shipping quote and guidance for your specific destination.

Yes. We handle commercial shipments of any size — air freight for time-sensitive stock, less than container loads (LCL) and full container loads (FCL) by sea freight for bulk cargo. The UAE is Nigeria's largest trading partner in the Arab world, followed by Saudi Arabia and Egypt. We work with importers, distributors and e-commerce sellers who ship regularly to the Arab world. Ask about our business account rates.

Yes. Every shipment is handled with care, and we offer cargo insurance on request. Coverage is comprehensive across all Arab destinations except active conflict zones. For valuable items, declare the correct value when booking so you are fully covered against loss or damage in transit.

Yes. Every shipment on this route is assigned a tracking reference and you receive status updates by WhatsApp or phone from pickup, through Nigerian customs, during transit, and after destination-country customs clearance until final delivery. Send your tracking ID to 0813 094 7747 on WhatsApp for a real-time update.

Yes. If you ship regularly from Nigeria to one or more Arab countries — for e-commerce, distribution, corporate supply or retail — we offer business account rates, scheduled pickups and monthly invoicing. Ask us about the business account when you message.

We accept bank transfers, cash on pickup and online payments. Corporate clients can request invoicing and monthly account billing.
