Interport operates an extensive road transport network linking the United Arab Emirates with key industrial and commercial centers across the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, and Bahrain. Overland freight provides a cost-effective, high-speed alternative to feeder vessels and short-haul air cargo.
Our fleet operations encompass standard 13.6m curtain-siders, heavy-duty flatbed trailers, box reefers, and multi-axle lowbeds for oversized plant movements. With drivers trained in cross-border GCC documentation and GPS-tracked equipment, we manage transit permits, border customs clearance, and secure door-to-door delivery.

Operational questions
Frequently asked questions
Clear answers regarding rates, transit cut-offs, customs, and documentation.
What documentation is required for trucking goods from Dubai to Saudi Arabia?
You will need an original commercial invoice, packing list, attested Certificate of Origin, and valid SABER compliance certificates registered on the Saudi FASAH portal. Goods must also have physical "Made in [Country]" labels permanently attached to each product or outer carton.
How fast does a dedicated full truckload (FTL) reach Riyadh from Dubai?
Under normal border operating conditions, a dedicated FTL truck travels from Dubai to Riyadh in approximately 2 to 3 days, including customs inspection and clearance at the Ghuwaifat/Batha border crossing.
Can you transport temperature-sensitive food or medicine overland?
Yes. We operate ATP-certified refrigerated reefer trailers with calibrated data loggers capable of maintaining set temperatures from -20°C up to +25°C throughout the desert highway journey.
Do you provide insurance coverage for cross-border trucking?
All shipments move under standard carrier road liability, and we offer comprehensive Marine & Transit Cargo Insurance coverage upon request to protect your investment against transit damage or accidents.
