Shipping from Dubai to Lebanon
Lebanon is a country with Arabic traditions but with over one-third of the population Christian and also French influences as part of its colonial past. Beirut is located on the Mediterranean coast and has a population of around 2.4 million people. The pace of life is relatively relaxed, it’s common to see men sitting around and watching the world go by. The cost of living in Lebanon, even in the capital, Beirut is relatively cheap by western standards.
However, whether you are shipping from Dubai to Lebanon for the first time, migrating to Lebanon for good, or returning home as a Lebanese citizen. Relocating can be a daunting experience and the upheaval of changing Jobs/Lifestyle/Location can be stressful.
What should I prioritise when moving from the UAE to Lebanon?
- Moving your Personal Belongings
- Employment
- Visas / Permits
- Finding a new home
- Bank accounts
- Schools
When should I start obtaining quotes for my relocation to Lebanon?
We would strongly suggest you start obtaining quotes for shipping to Lebanon at least a couple of months before the target move date.
This should provide time to consider your quotations, formally advise the shipping company you have chosen and very importantly, secure your preferred moving dates.
Also, this allows enough time to finalise your visa/travel/shipping documents and all the other formalities you have to contend with before your move. Lebanon is a county with quite a bit of red-tape and so this is likely to take more time than you anticipate.

What is the cost of moving to Lebanon from Dubai?
The cost of relocating from Dubai to Lebanon depends on a few factors. The most important factor is the volume of furniture. Generally speaking, the more furniture you include in your move, the higher the cost.
Secondly is the Mode of shipping you choose.
You can choose to move your items in your own shipping container, or if you’re moving only a few items and only a small amount of furniture you could choose a shared container.
This is known as “Groupage” in the moving industry. Of course, sharing a container, or Groupage, is likely more cost-effective than a dedicated container. However, the compromise you make is shipping times can be a little longer.
Approximate shipping cost options to Lebanon are as follows:
Full Container (20ft / 40ft) – Starting from AED 13,000 AED
Groupage (Shared Container) – Starting from AED 700/CBM
LCL (Less than a container load) – Starting from AED 500/CBM
Air (Quickest, Most Expensive) – Starting from AED 25/KG

How long does it take to ship my goods to Lebanon?
When estimating how long shipping from Dubai to Lebanon takes, we have to consider the mode the goods would be travelling in. Air is the quickest and Sea is the slowest.
Approximate transit times
Air Shipment – (2-3 Days)
Sole Container by Sea – (15-20 Days)
Part Container by Sea – (22-30 Days)
Another consideration when estimating time-frame is processing the shipment and customs clearance in Dubai and in Lebanon. We would allow up to 1 week at both ends. (Airfreight should take a couple of days at both ends).
