Why Road Freight to Dubai is Expanding
Given geopolitical uncertainties and schedule disruptions in maritime shipping lanes around the Bab el-Mandeb strait, overland road freight between Turkey and the United Arab Emirates has become an indispensable supply chain pipeline for high-value and project cargo.
Transit Corridors and Border Crossings
Two primary overland routes connect Turkey to Dubai: the corridor via Iraq and Kuwait, and the route through Jordan into Saudi Arabia. Modern convoys cross northern Saudi Arabia along modern highways, entering the UAE via the Al Batha / Ghuwaifat border post.
