02 — Paperwork
What has to travel with it
Saudi imports require SASO conformity and a certificate of origin. We issue the Arab preference certificate through the Egyptian Chamber of Commerce, which removes duty under the Greater Arab Free Trade Area for qualifying goods.
03 — What sells here
Stone that suits Saudi Arabia
Volume beige marble for residential and hospitality flooring, granite for external paving and facades that have to survive the heat, and cut-to-size for the large contracting packages. Colour consistency across long deliveries matters more here than anywhere — projects run for years.
04 — Questions
Buying from Egypt, into Saudi Arabia
Do you supply Arab preference certificates?
Yes, legalised through the Egyptian Chamber of Commerce.
Can you hold material for a phased project?
Yes. We reserve blocks against a programme and cut to call-off so colour stays consistent across deliveries.
Which port is cheaper?
Jeddah for the west, Dammam for the Eastern Province. We quote both and you take the better landed cost.
Quoting for Saudi Arabia?
Send the stone, the finish, the thickness, the quantity and the destination port. You get FOB and CIF prices and a lead time, usually within one working day.
