Two arrival ports — Jeddah and Dammam
Saudi Arabia is served by two arrival ports — one on the Red Sea coast (Jeddah) and one on the Arabian Gulf coast (Dammam). Your arrival port is determined by your destination in Saudi Arabia and confirmed at booking.
Jeddah Islamic Seaport
Jeddah, Makkah Province — Red Sea coast
Saudi Arabia’s largest and busiest seaport, located on the Red Sea coast. The primary arrival point for riders and expats heading to Jeddah, Mecca, Medina, and western Saudi Arabia. The recipient collects the motorcycle here after customs clearance and pays applicable duties and taxes on-site with cash.
Dammam — King Abdul Aziz Port
Dammam, Eastern Province — Arabian Gulf coast
Located on the Arabian Gulf coast, King Abdul Aziz Port serves the Eastern Province — including Dammam, Al Khobar, and Dhahran. The right arrival port for expats and military contractors based in the oil-rich eastern region. Recipient collects on-site, cash required for duties and port fees.
Transit time — USA to Saudi Arabia
East Coast and Gulf Coast riders can expect approximately 5 weeks from departure port to Saudi arrival. West Coast riders should allow additional transit time due to the longer Pacific routing.
East Coast and Gulf Coast ports (Baltimore, Brunswick, Galveston, Newark) → Saudi Arabia: approximately 5 weeks. The most direct and cost-effective routing to both Jeddah and Dammam. The majority of Saudi Arabia-bound shipments depart from these ports.
West Coast ports (Tacoma, Port Hueneme, San Diego) → Saudi Arabia: longer transit. West Coast riders should plan for additional weeks compared to East Coast departures. Shipping from the East Coast is recommended where logistics allow — both for cost and transit time.
Transit time begins when your motorcycle arrives at the US departure port. It does not include the domestic truck leg from your pickup address. We confirm current sailing schedules and your expected arrival window when you book.
RoRo shipping — the exclusive method for Saudi Arabia
AA Motorcycle Shipping offers RoRo shipping exclusively for the Saudi Arabia route. Container shipping is not available to Saudi Arabia from US ports. All Saudi-bound motorcycles travel via Roll-On/Roll-Off vessel from your designated departure port.
RoRo — Roll-On/Roll-Off
Only available method — all 7 US departure ports
Your motorcycle is ridden aboard the vessel and secured on the car deck for the full voyage to Jeddah or Dammam. RoRo is cost-effective, operates on a reliable weekly schedule, and keeps your motorcycle fully enclosed within the ship’s hull throughout transit. An ideal method for any operational motorcycle heading to Saudi Arabia. Note: if your motorcycle is inoperable and cannot be ridden onto the vessel, please call us before booking — 1-888-347-1391.
From your US address to the departure port
Every Saudi Arabia shipment starts with an enclosed truck run from your US pickup location to your designated departure port. We handle both the domestic and ocean legs as one coordinated service.
Documents required to ship a motorcycle to Saudi Arabia
Documentation requirements for Saudi Arabia are minimal on the US side. Have everything ready before booking to avoid delays at the departure port or on arrival.

Pickup anywhere in the USA
An enclosed truck collects your motorcycle and delivers it to your designated US departure port — one of seven ports serving the Saudi Arabia route. East Coast and Gulf riders route through Baltimore, Brunswick, Galveston, or Newark. West Coast riders through Tacoma, Port Hueneme, or San Diego.
Vessel departs for Saudi Arabia
Your motorcycle is loaded via RoRo and sails to Saudi Arabia — approximately 5 weeks from East Coast and Gulf ports. All Saudi Arabia shipments travel by RoRo. Your arrival port — Jeddah or Dammam — is confirmed at booking based on your Saudi destination.
Collection at the Saudi port
Your customs broker coordinates clearance at Jeddah or Dammam. The recipient presents valid ID, pays applicable duties and port fees in cash, and collects the motorcycle — ready to ride Saudi Arabia’s highways and desert roads.
Shipping motorcycles from the USA to Saudi Arabia since 1983
Saudi Arabia’s motorcycle culture has expanded significantly in recent years, with a large and growing expat community of American and international professionals — particularly in Riyadh, Jeddah, and the Eastern Province oil corridor. Riders relocating for long-term contracts increasingly choose to ship their own bikes rather than navigate a local market with limited US-spec inventory or premium pricing on imported models.
Two arrival ports mean your motorcycle can arrive closer to where you actually need it. Jeddah Islamic Seaport serves the Red Sea coast and western Saudi Arabia. King Abdul Aziz Port in Dammam serves the Eastern Province and the Gulf corridor. Seven US departure ports — from the Pacific Northwest to the Northeast — give riders across the country access to the route. We coordinate the full journey from US pickup to Saudi port collection, including customs broker assignment at your arrival port.
Preparing your motorcycle for shipment
A few steps before pickup keep your shipment on schedule and your bike in the best condition for the long RoRo voyage to Saudi Arabia.
- Clean the motorcycle thoroughly — document pre-existing condition with photos
- Check for fluid leaks and fix before pickup
- Reduce fuel to a quarter tank or below
- Disconnect the battery and package securely
- Remove loose accessories — saddlebags, mirrors, GPS mounts
- Verify tire pressure and overall mechanical condition
- Ensure the motorcycle can be ridden — RoRo requires it to roll on and off the vessel under its own power
- Have bill of sale and ID ready before pickup day
