port and shipping: below are the numbers that actually matter in Saudi practice — rates, transit times, paperwork — with Masar ready to run it end to end.
The rules of the lane: Saudi ports run under Mawani: Jeddah Islamic Port is the main container gateway (west), King Abdulaziz Port Dammam serves the east and Riyadh (with rail to Riyadh Dry Port), King Abdullah Port grows fast north of Jeddah, and Jubail/Yanbu serve industry. Customs rules are identical nationwide — FASAH declaration, 1–3 working days with papers ready.
Pick the gateway by final destination: sending Riyadh-bound cargo to the wrong coast adds SAR 2,000+ of trucking.
