Shipping between Lebanon and the UAE
GHO Express handles freight in both directions on the Lebanon-UAE trade lane, exporting from Beirut to Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah, and importing UAE-origin goods into Lebanon. We arrange the mode that fits your cargo: air freight for speed, sea freight (FCL or LCL) for volume, and customs clearance at both ends.
An honest note on coverage: our physical operations are in Lebanon only. We do not have an office in the UAE. Instead, we manage the UAE leg through our long-standing global partner and agent network, which handles import clearance and final delivery on the ground, while you keep a single point of contact with our Beirut team.
How we handle the lane
- Export from Lebanon, collection, export customs clearance and booking through Beirut. See customs clearance.
- Main carriage, by air to UAE airports or by sea to Jebel Ali and other UAE ports. Compare air freight and sea freight.

With more than fifty years of forwarding experience and FIDI membership, GHO Express manages the paperwork, routing and partners so your Lebanon-UAE shipments move smoothly. Request a quote with your origin, destination and cargo details.

Frequently asked questions
Does GHO Express have an office in Dubai or the UAE?
No. Our physical offices are in Lebanon, our Beirut headquarters and our airport cargo office. We serve the UAE through our global partner and agent network, which manages clearance and delivery in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah on our behalf, so you still get a single point of contact in Beirut.
How long does shipping from Beirut to Dubai take?
Air freight typically reaches the UAE within 1-3 days of departure. Sea freight on the Beirut-Jebel Ali lane usually takes around 1-3 weeks depending on the service and transhipment. We confirm a realistic transit time when we quote your specific shipment.
Which mode is best for the Lebanon-UAE lane?
Air freight suits urgent, high-value or smaller consignments; sea freight (FCL or LCL) suits larger, cost-sensitive volumes. Many shippers on this lane use sea for the bulk of goods and air for urgent top-ups. We advise on the best mix for your cargo.
