Export and logistics
From Al-Quwayra to your site
Our quarry and screening plant are at Al-Quwayra, about 70 km north of Aqaba (company profile, 2026). From there, sand moves north and east by road, or south to the Port of Aqaba for sea freight. Our office in Amman handles quotations.
By road: Saudi Arabia, the Gulf, the UAE and Iraq
- Saudi Arabia
- trucks from southern Jordan straight to your site.
- Gulf states and the UAE
- trucks through Saudi Arabia, an alternative to sea freight.
- Iraq
- trucks from Jordan.
- Jordan
- local deliveries by truckload.
For trucks we usually quote DAP (your site) or EXW (our plant).
By sea: containers through Aqaba
We load jumbo bags into 20-ft containers and ship through the Port of Aqaba. We quote routing, transit time and any surcharges per shipment, because sea routes and schedules change. Our sand has been exported to Qatar and Turkey.
Packaging and loads
- Packaging
- jumbo bags (bulk bags).
- Per container
- about 25 t per 20-ft container. A 40-ft container carries no more weight, so we quote 20-ft.
