👤 Who is Milhan?
Milhan is the name behind the shipping guides of Al Mellah International Shipping. His work is simple to describe and hard to do well: take what happens on a real route — the border queue at Al Batha, the paperwork a car needs before it leaves Riyadh, the weeks a container spends between Jeddah and Casablanca — and turn it into a guide a customer can act on before calling anyone.
He does not write general articles about "logistics". He writes route guides: one origin, one destination, the crossing or port in between, what it costs to start with, and what can go wrong. Every guide is written for the person who is about to ship, not for a search engine.
🧭 What he writes about
Al Batha, Salwa, the Empty Quarter crossing, Khafji, Al Ruqi and the King Fahd Causeway — which one to use from each Saudi city, and what slows trucks down.
Routes from Jeddah through Suez to Radès, Algiers, Oran, Casablanca, Tanger Med and Misrata, with realistic weeks, not optimistic ones.
Export plates, traffic clearance, bank lien release, enclosed vs open carriers, and the destination-country rules that stop a car at the border.
Surveys, cubic-metre estimates, numbered dismantling, packing layers and reassembly — and how each choice changes the price.
Packing lists, invoices, certificates of origin and personal-effects exemptions — the paperwork that decides whether a shipment waits or passes.
What really drives a shipping price, how to read a quote line by line, and where customers can genuinely save.
📝 How his guides are written
Every guide starts from shipments our team has actually moved on that route — the crossing used, the days it took, what was asked at the border.
Customs, traffic and destination-country requirements are checked against current official procedures before they are written as steps.
Where a price can be given it is written as "starts from", with what it includes. Where it depends on the shipment, the guide says so and explains why.
Transit times, crossings and documents are reviewed with the operations team before publishing.
Guides are revisited when a crossing, a procedure or a price changes — the update date at the top of each article is real.
✅ What you will find in every guide
- A clear answer in the first lines — who ships the route, how long it takes and what it starts from.
- The named crossing or port, the distance and the route, not "fast delivery to all cities".
- Car and furniture sections in every route guide, because most customers ship both.
- Document checklists you can prepare before booking, not after the truck is loaded.
- Warnings from real cases: prohibited items, lithium batteries, undeclared new goods.
- Questions customers actually ask, answered in short, direct paragraphs.
🚫 What you will not find
- No "we are the best" without proof.
- No totals that hide clearance or border fees.
- No transit times that ignore the season or the crossing.
