What do we ship from Saudi Arabia to Oman?
Since the Empty Quarter road opened, road shipping to Oman has become shorter and simpler, and shipments have grown with it: Omani families returning from the Kingdom, residents relocating for work in Muscat, Sohar or Duqm, traders supplying goods, and pilgrims sending their luggage and gifts. We serve all of it with closed trucks, car carriers and low-beds for equipment.
