Eastern Province to Jordan in points:
- Land is the usual route, as there is no Jordanian port on the Arabian Gulf.
- The road to Al Haditha is longer than from Riyadh, but the truck does not change its load on the way.
- A shared truck for a few items, a private one for homes and offices.
- Cars on an enclosed carrier, urgent items by air.
The shipment’s route from Dammam to Jordan
| Stage | Details | Approx. time |
|---|---|---|
| Collection and packing | At your home in Dammam, Khobar or Dhahran | One day |
| Dammam → Al Haditha | About 1,500 km via Hafar Al Batin and Al Jouf, or via Riyadh | About two days |
| Crossing and clearance | Al Haditha, then Al Omari | Hours to a day |
| Al Omari → your address | Zarqa and Amman, then the other governorates | One day |
The truck takes the best road for the season and conditions: north via Hafar Al Batin and then Al Jouf, or west to Riyadh and then north with the Riyadh trucks. Either way your load stays on the same truck from Dammam to your home.
Which crossing does your shipment from Dammam use?
| Saudi → Jordanian crossing | Area | Usually used by shipments from | Closest to |
|---|---|---|---|
| Al Haditha → Al Omari | Al Qurayyat, Al Jouf | Riyadh, Qassim, the Eastern Province and Hail | Amman, Zarqa, Mafraq and Irbid |
| Halat Ammar → Al Mudawwara | Tabuk | Jeddah, Makkah, Madinah and Tabuk | Maan, Aqaba, Karak and Tafilah, then Amman on the Desert Highway |
Eastern Province shipments leave through Al Haditha, the closest crossing to them and to Amman and Zarqa. We do not use sea from Dammam to Jordan, because the ship would have to go round the whole Arabian Peninsula to reach Aqaba.

Jordanian engineers and professionals in the Eastern Province
Many of our customers in Dammam, Khobar, Dhahran and Jubail are engineers, technicians and staff at oil, petrochemical and contracting companies returning to Jordan after years away. Some ship their office equipment and engineering library with them; others send the furniture of a large villa. For them we prepare a private truck loaded in a single day, and a detailed inventory that speeds clearance at Al Omari.
The Eastern Province also sends company shipments: small equipment, tools and samples sent to branches or customers in Jordan, which we ship on pallets with their commercial papers.
Packing furniture in Dammam

The Eastern Province combines summer heat with coastal humidity, so we choose packing that protects against both on a road of more than 1,500 km:
- Children’s rooms: bunk beds and desks dismantled, toys in clear boxes.
- Bedrooms: wardrobes and beds dismantled, with screws numbered.
- Kitchen: dishes wrapped one by one, appliances in double-wall cartons.
- Living room: sofas in plastic then blankets, glass tables in a wooden frame.
- Electronics: in their original boxes if available, or in padded cartons.
Loading in Dammam and the truck type
Small shipments are consolidated at our Dammam warehouse, each customer with a colour mark and a number. Private trucks come to your door, are loaded and strapped in front of you, and set off the same day or the next.

| Truck type | Best for | How it is priced |
|---|---|---|
| Shared truck | One or two rooms, cartons, a few appliances | Per item or per cubic metre |
| Private dyna or medium truck | A small flat or an office | One price for the whole trip |
| 13 m closed trailer | A villa or large home, or furniture with goods | One price for the whole trip |
| Car carrier | One or more cars | Per car, by size |
Every truck carries a packing list that matches its load, because the broker at Al Omari checks every item against it.
Car shipping from Dammam to Jordan
We prepare the car in Dammam: clean it, photograph it and fit a protective cover, then load it onto an enclosed car carrier and secure it with straps and chocks.

Jordan sets conditions on importing used cars, the main one being the car’s age counted from its year of manufacture. These conditions are amended by government decisions from time to time, and duties differ between petrol, hybrid and electric cars and by engine size and value. So we send your car’s details to the broker in Jordan before booking and tell you what applies to it, so a car that cannot be cleared never sets off. Its papers from the Kingdom: a valid registration, no fines or liens, an export request through Absher or the traffic department with the plates handed in, the purchase invoice or sale contract, and a copy of your passport and iqama or ID.
If you will drive your own car to Jordan for a visit and bring it back, that is a temporary entry on a customs passbook (carnet/triptyque) and needs no shipping; a permanent move means exporting the car and shipping it on a carrier.
Delivery in Jordan
After release at Al Omari, the truck continues to Zarqa, Amman, Mafraq, Irbid or any other governorate. The crew unloads your belongings, carries them inside and reassembles the furniture if that is part of the agreement, and you check the items against the packing list with us before signing.

Air freight from Dammam to Jordan
When a shipment cannot wait for the road trip, we send it by air from King Fahd International Airport in Dammam to Queen Alia International Airport in Amman, usually arriving in one to three working days including clearance.
Air suits what is light and needed quickly:
- Documents, university certificates and official papers.
- Small devices such as laptops and phones in their original boxes.
- Clothes, gifts and personal items you need as soon as you arrive.
- Spare parts and commercial samples.
The price is charged on the greater of actual and volumetric weight, so a large light carton may be charged as if it were heavy. Send us the weight and dimensions and we will work out the chargeable weight for you. Furniture and large appliances are far cheaper by land and arrive only a few days later.
Shipping goods from the Eastern Province to Jordan
Plastic products, spare parts, equipment and consumer goods leave Dammam and Jubail for Jordan. We stack the goods on pallets, prepare the commercial invoice, certificate of origin and packing list, and ship on a shared or full truck depending on quantity.
Cities we collect from in the Eastern Province
Dammam and districts such as Al Faisaliyah, Al Shati, Al Nuzhah and Al Jalawiyah; Khobar, Al Aqrabiyah, Al Thuqbah and Al Rakah; Dhahran and Al Doha; Qatif, Saihat and Safwa; Ras Tanura; Jubail Industrial and Jubail town; Nairiyah; Al Ahsa; Abqaiq; Khafji; and Hafar Al Batin.
Will your furniture be exempt from Jordanian customs?
The question Jordanian families ask us most before shipping is about the exemption. The answer is that a permanent returnee’s furniture is usually exempt, under conditions set by the Jordan Customs Department, chiefly:
- You have lived outside Jordan for a year or more.
- Proof that your residence in the Kingdom has ended: a cancelled iqama, the end of your work contract or a resignation, a new work contract in Jordan, a certified lease or title deed for a home, or your children’s transfer to Jordanian schools.
- The owner attends in person or by official authorisation, and the husband or wife has arrived in Jordan.
- An original packing list of the furniture, appliances and items.
- The exemption is granted once; anyone who used it and then went back to live abroad cannot get a new one until five years have passed.
- Any furniture that follows later must arrive within six months of your arrival date.
Our advice is not to split the home across many shipments: put it in one truck whenever possible, which is easier to clear and cheaper. We review your papers with the broker before the truck moves.
Documents required for shipping to Jordan
- A copy of the sender’s passport and iqama or ID, and a copy of the receiver’s ID in Jordan.
- A numbered packing list with the contents of every carton and item.
- Proof that your residence in the Kingdom has ended, for permanent returnees.
- An authorisation for the clearing company in Jordan.
- For goods: a commercial invoice, certificate of origin and packing list.
- For cars: export papers from the traffic department and the purchase invoice.
Crossing and customs clearance
We send copies of the papers to the broker in Jordan before the truck arrives, so preparation starts before it reaches the border. After inspection and release, the truck continues to your address, and we tell you its arrival a day ahead.
Items outside the exemption, such as commercial goods and new appliances in quantity, are subject to customs duties and Jordanian sales tax, and we explain that before loading, not after.
Protecting your belongings on the road
Good packing prevents most damage, and insurance covers what packing cannot. We offer it as a percentage of the shipment’s value and the choice is yours; either way, we photograph the important pieces before the truck is closed.
What cannot be shipped to Jordan
- Flammable materials, gas cylinders, fuel and paints.
- Weapons, ammunition and anything resembling them.
- Medicines in commercial quantities or without a prescription.
- Fresh food, meat, plants and soil.
- Loose lithium batteries by air.
- Counterfeit goods or anything banned under either country’s rules.
