Makkah is the Saudi city closest to Jeddah port, so shipping from it to Libya is among the best-value options. Three kinds of customers ship from here: Libyan traders who come for Umrah and buy goods to sell back home, pilgrims and visitors sending purchases the airline allowance can’t take, and Libyan families living in Makkah returning with their furniture and car. This guide covers all three, starting with trade because it’s what we ship most from Makkah to Libya.

🛍️ Commercial goods: from Makkah’s markets to Libyan shops

Prayer rugs, Qur’ans, prayer beads, perfumes, incense, ihram clothing and gifts are among what Libyan traders buy most in Makkah to sell in Tripoli, Misrata and Benghazi, especially before Ramadan and the Hajj season. We collect your purchases from shops and warehouses and arrange them in numbered boxes or a container in your name:

Makkah commercial goods to Libya
Type of goods Packing Note for Libyan customs
Prayer rugs and furnishings Compressed bundles wrapped in film An invoice with quantity and type
Perfumes, oud oil and incense Lined boxes with sealed packs Flammables need special classification
Qur’ans and books Small moisture-proof boxes Accepted with a clear invoice
Prayer beads, gifts and accessories Boxes numbered by item A detailed list with counts
Ihram clothing and abayas Wrapped bundles Commercial quantities need an invoice
⚠️ Some alcohol-based perfumes and large quantities of oud oil are classed as dangerous goods for sea freight; tell us in advance so we book the right space, because a wrong declaration can stop the whole container.

For traders and online store owners who import regularly, we offer periodic consolidated shipping, so you pay only for your goods’ space, or a full container in the big seasons, with a commercial invoice and Arab certificate of origin to benefit from the Greater Arab Free Trade Area.

🕋 Libyan pilgrims’ and visitors’ purchases

A Libyan pilgrim usually returns with dates, rugs, Zamzam water and gifts that don’t fit the airline allowance. They hand us the boxes in Makkah before flying, and we ship them consolidated to their city. Commercial quantities of dates go in a reefer container. Zamzam water is carried by the traveller in its dedicated containers and isn’t shipped in containers with belongings, because it leaks and damages everything around it.

⚓ Which Libyan port suits your city?

Libya’s coastline runs more than 1,700 km, and choosing the right port saves long road transport. Misrata, with its free zone, is the busiest gateway for containers coming from Jeddah:

Arrival port by Libyan region
Your region in Libya Cities Best arrival port
Tripoli and the west Tripoli, Zawiya, Sabratha, Zuwara Tripoli or Misrata
Central coast Misrata, Zliten, Khoms, Tarhuna Misrata or Khoms
Gulf of Sirte Sirte, Brega, Ajdabiya Misrata or Benghazi
Benghazi and Jabal Akhdar Benghazi, Marj, Al Bayda Benghazi
The far east Derna, Tobruk Benghazi then by road, or Tobruk
The south Sabha, Ubari, Murzuq Misrata or Tripoli, then a long road leg

Direct sailings from Jeddah to Libya are limited, so many containers pass through a transhipment port in the Mediterranean where they move to a smaller vessel. We tell you before booking whether your sailing is direct, and notify you when the container reaches the transhipment port.

💵 How is the price from Makkah to Libya calculated?

We don’t publish prices that start from a fixed figure for Libya, because fewer lines serve it than Tunisia and Morocco, and their rates change with sailings and transhipment ports. But Makkah benefits from its closeness to the port, with only a short road leg added:

Factors that set the price from Makkah to Libya
Factor Effect on price
Volume Per box or cubic metre in consolidated shipping, or a 20 or 40 ft container
Arrival port Misrata and Tripoli usually have more sailings than Benghazi and Tobruk
Direct or transhipment Direct is faster, transhipment can be cheaper

🚗 Shipping your car from Makkah to Libya

Libyan customs look at three things: manufacture date, structural soundness and original documents. The decisions on used-car age have changed more than once, so we check the decision in force at shipping time before accepting any car:

What Libyan customs check on a car
Condition What it means in practice
Car age A maximum age for used cars set by the decision in force
Structural soundness Flood, fire, rollover and chassis-cut cars are refused
Original documents Original export certificate, registration and purchase invoice if any
Number of cars One car for personal use; larger numbers count as trade
⚠️ A car bought at auction with ‘salvage’ papers and then repaired in the Kingdom may be refused in Libya even if it looks perfect. Ask us before buying one to ship.

After transferring ownership, settling fines and obtaining export plates and an export certificate from the Makkah traffic department, we move it on an enclosed carrier to Jeddah, and it ships in one of these ways:

Car shipping methods from Makkah to Libya
Method Best for Price
RoRo A single empty car when a sailing to Misrata or Tripoli is available Request a quote
20 ft container A new or luxury car with full protection Request a quote
40 ft container for two cars A trader or brothers splitting the cost Request a quote
40 ft with furniture A family returning with everything they own Request a quote

🏠 Libyan families returning from Makkah

A Libyan returning after residence in the Kingdom is usually asked by customs for proof of return, such as a letter from the Libyan consulate in Jeddah or proof that work abroad has ended, and used belongings may get lighter treatment, reaching a partial exemption in some cases under the regulations in force:

✔A letter from the Libyan consulate in Jeddah or proof that residence has ended.
✔Separating used from new items in the packing list.
✔Avoiding large quantities of one item so it isn’t treated as trade.
✔Naming a receiver in Libya with a copy of the list and their ID.

The export declaration is filed via Fasah, and the list is checked against the container. The more accurate the packing list, the less likely a full unload for inspection at the Libyan port, which is the main cause of delay.
