Overland Trade Corridors to the Gulf

The Middle East is one of Turkey's most dynamic export markets. Inter Logistics coordinates direct overland road freight connecting Turkish industrial hubs with Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (Dubai, Abu Dhabi), Qatar, Kuwait and Iraq.

Following the reopening of overland transit corridors, road transport offers substantial speed advantages over traditional maritime shipping around the Arabian Peninsula, delivering cargo to Dubai in as little as 10 to 12 days.

Chamber Legalisation & Middle Eastern Customs

Shipments to Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries require certified commercial invoices, packing lists, and Certificates of Origin validated by local Chambers of Commerce and relevant embassies. We ensure all paperwork is properly prepared prior to vehicle dispatch.
