Ship a motorcycle from the USA to the Middle East

We ship motorcycles from the USA to these Middle East countries

Four destinations served with weekly ocean sailings. Select your country for arrival port, transit time, and customs details.

Door-to-port shipping from the USA to the Middle East

We pick up at your US address, handle all export documentation, load onto the next weekly sailing, and assign a customs broker at the destination port. The vessel crosses the Atlantic, transits the Mediterranean and Suez Canal, and arrives at your Middle East port — all under one company, start to finish.

RoRo vs container shipping to the Middle East

Two methods available for all four Middle East destinations. Choose based on your motorcycle’s value, budget, and whether it needs to be in running condition.

From your US address to the departure port

Every Middle East shipment starts with an enclosed truck run from your US location to the departure port. Two options available.

Non-Palletized

Standard domestic leg

Secured with ratchet straps to floor-mounted eye bolts inside an enclosed trailer. Safe, cost-effective, and the standard choice for the domestic portion of Middle East shipments.

Palletized

Premium domestic leg

Forklift-loaded onto a pallet, transported in an enclosed air-ride trailer. Recommended for high-value or vintage motorcycles making the long journey to the Middle East.

AMAZING service!. Julia started off by helping me navigate the on line process, then responded quickly to any questions I had throughout the transport. When a possible additional charge was suggested, Julia was able to mitigate it. My vehicle arrived in perfect condition, and the driver was very careful to unload it with great care. I could not be more pleased with the overall experience. Thank you, AA.

Response from the owner:Thanks very much for the business Todd

Fantastic service from start to finish. I contacted another company before them and was quoted nearly double the price. These guys were professional, affordable, and communicated with me throughout the entire process from pickup to delivery. No hidden fees, no surprises, and my bike arrived without any issues. I highly recommend them to anyone needing motorcycle transport.

I was extremely hesitant to ship my motorcycle from San Diego to Oregon. The thought of pre-paying $1,000 for strangers to come and load my bike up in their box truck and drive away, hoping to see them again a few days later, made me sick to my stomach. I'm so happy I was absolutely wrong to have any negative thoughts about AA Motorcycle Shipping. They were extremely professional, communicative, and took great care of my bike. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to ship a motorcycle anywhere in the country!

Response from the owner:Thanks for the trust and the business Riley.

got my motorcycle from Maryland to Utah in a pretty timely manner. I also needed some same day shipping and they were able to accommodate me by allowing me to bring the motorcycle to their shipping facility to get it on a crate. The customer service agent I called was also super helpful (she works in accounting, can't remember her name). Will absolutely use again if the need arises.

Response from the owner:Thanks for the business Caelan and her name is Julia.

AA Motorcycle did a great job moving my bike from Dallas to Las Vegas. The bike was delivered efficiently without any damage which sounds simple but if you've shipped a bike before you know is not always the case. They showed a lot of flexibility by delivering it to a location which wasn't originally requested when I made the reservations. I would use AA again if I needed to move my bike again in the future.

Response from the owner:Thanks for the business

USA to Middle East motorcycle shipping — common questions

• How much does it cost to ship a motorcycle from the USA to the Middle East?

  Cost depends on your US pickup location, motorcycle year/make/model, destination country, and shipping method. Submit your quote request or call 1-888-347-1391 for accurate pricing.

• How long does it take to ship a motorcycle from the USA to the Middle East?

  Transit is longer than European routes — the vessel routes through the Mediterranean and Suez Canal before reaching the Persian Gulf or Red Sea. Check the individual country page for destination-specific transit estimates.

• What is RoRo shipping and is it right for the Middle East route?

  RoRo (Roll-On/Roll-Off) secures your motorcycle on the car deck inside the vessel — protected for the full crossing. Guaranteed departure and arrival dates. Most cost-effective method. Bike must be in working order to ride onto the vessel.

• What is the difference between shared and exclusive container shipping?

  Shared container splits costs with up to 3 other bikes — more affordable but departure may be delayed while the container fills. Exclusive container reserves the full container for your bike — guaranteed departure, maximum protection, higher cost. Non-running bikes accepted for both container methods.

• Are there vehicle age restrictions for importing motorcycles into the Middle East?

  Yes — some Middle East countries restrict the import age of motorcycles. Check the individual country page for your destination before booking to confirm your motorcycle qualifies.

• I’m PCSing to a Middle East military installation — can AA handle my shipment?

  Yes — we ship regularly to NSA Bahrain, Al Udeid Air Base (Qatar), Prince Sultan Air Base (Saudi Arabia), and Al Dhafra Air Base (UAE). Military and Veteran discounts available — call 1-888-347-1391 after submitting your quote to apply.

• What documents do I need to ship a motorcycle to the Middle East?

  Bill of sale and title required — your name on the front of the title, both seller and buyer signatures on the back if recently sold. A customs broker is assigned by AA at booking. Check the individual country page for destination-specific requirements.

• How do I prepare my motorcycle for a Middle East shipment?

  Reduce fuel to a quarter tank or below. Disconnect the battery, disable the alarm, and remove all personal items and loose accessories. Photograph the bike before pickup. A full pre-shipment checklist is sent when you book.
