Land Container Shipping from the UAE to Safaga, Egypt

Joudi Cargo moves containers and full trucks by land from the UAE to Egypt through Safaga: the cargo drives through Saudi Arabia to Duba port, crosses the Red Sea by ferry to Safaga, and continues to the receiver in Egypt. It suits factories, importers and traders who want their cargo to stay on the same truck from loading to delivery, without waiting for a sea vessel. Every load is priced by quote.

How the Safaga land route works

  • Loading at your factory or warehouse in the UAE, in a container on a truck or a full trailer.
  • Road transit through Saudi Arabia to Duba port on the Red Sea.
  • Ferry crossing from Duba to Safaga port in Egypt.
  • Customs clearance in Safaga and delivery to the receiver anywhere in Egypt.

Why choose the land route to Safaga

The cargo stays on wheels from the loading point to the receiver, with fewer handling points than a sea shipment that has to be trucked to and from the ports. It is a practical option for Upper Egypt and the Red Sea coast, and an alternative when sea schedules are disrupted.

Documents

Commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and the road consignment note (CMR). Like any shipment to Egypt, the Egyptian importer needs an ACID number on Nafeza and the exporter sends the documents through CargoX before the cargo leaves.
