Shipping through the Nasib crossing: road freight from the Gulf to Syria

Trailers from Jebel Ali cross Saudi Arabia and Jordan to the Jaber border centre and enter Syria at Nasib. Cargo from Saudi Arabia runs through Jordan from the Haditha crossing to Jaber.

From Nasib the international highway runs about 100 km to Damascus. It is the southern end of a corridor of more than 400 km through Damascus, Homs and Aleppo, the main overland link between Syria, Jordan and the Gulf.

• UAE, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Nasib
• From Saudi Arabia: Haditha to Jaber
• Nasib to Damascus: about 100 km

By road from the UAE to Syria through Nasib takes 7 to 10 days.

We confirm the crossing status before each dispatch and give you the arrival date for your shipment.

• 7 to 10 days from the UAE
• Status confirmed before dispatch

Gulf trucks enter Syria only on transit from one border point to another. Otherwise the cargo is moved at the border onto a Syrian truck for the journey inside Syria; perishable goods are the exception.

Nasib carries heavy freight: Syria's ports and customs authority counted 50,272 trucks from January to the end of May 2026, 18,374 entering Syria and 31,898 leaving it. When gate capacity drops, the queue on the Jordanian side builds within a day or two.

• Cargo moved to a Syrian truck, except transit and perishables
• 50,272 trucks, January–May 2026
• Queues build fast when gates slow

For general goods you need three documents: the commercial invoice, the certificate of origin and the packing list.

For other goods, tell us what you are shipping and we confirm the documents before loading. Check the HS codes against the Syrian tariff first.

Works on Nasib's internal roads, yards and gates began on 23 September 2026, with no completion date given; in late September trucks entered slowly through a diversion. The crossing closed on 27 October and reopened on 28 October 2026.

Jordan has equipped a new area at Jaber for about 200 loaded trucks, with wider lanes planned for 2027–2029, and a 400-day contract to rehabilitate the Nasib–Damascus highway was signed on 22 September 2026.
