Shipping marine fish to Saudi Arabia
We ship to Saudi Arabia through Riyadh RUH / Jeddah JED, with a typical transit of ~9 hours via via dubai connection or saudi airlines cargo. Marine fish travel by air freight from our two Kenyan gateways, Mombasa (MBA) and Nairobi (NBO), and we plan each consignment for the shortest reliable route to your airport — because transit time is the single biggest factor in arrival condition. You receive tracking and documents in advance so you can pre-clear customs and collect the box promptly. For more on routing, see our airline guide and international shipping page.
