Locations overview
Ports, airports and offices we work
MIDTRANS moves commercial and industrial cargo through a small set of gateways it knows well. In Syria the sea freight lands at Latakia and Tartous and is cleared and delivered with the Damascus office, which also handles air freight through Damascus and road delivery. In the UAE the Dubai head office runs bookings, the Jebel Ali warehouse and the clearance desk. In Egypt the Mediterranean ports, Ain Sokhna on the Red Sea and Cairo International airport cover sea and air cargo for Cairo and the Nile Delta. Each page below sets out what that gateway is used for.

Syria: Latakia, Tartous and Damascus
Sea freight for Syria lands at Latakia or Tartous. Latakia takes containers, breakbulk and project cargo and is the maritime gateway toward Damascus. Tartous, the southern Mediterranean seaport, works bulk, breakbulk and project cargo and opens onto the Homs corridor into central Syria. The Damascus office clears, documents and delivers inland, and covers air freight and road movements for the capital.
- Latakia: containers and project cargo
- Tartous: bulk and breakbulk
- Damascus: office, air and road
- Customs clearance and inland delivery
Gateway logic
UAE: Dubai and Jebel Ali
The Dubai office is the head office. UAE bookings, the Jebel Ali warehouse and the clearance desk are run from there, with sea, air and land freight and customs coordination on corridors to Syria, Egypt and the GCC. Ain Sokhna in Egypt has a direct Gulf and Jebel Ali link for cargo that does not need a canal transit.
- Head office bookings
- Jebel Ali warehousing
- Customs coordination
- Syria, Egypt and GCC corridors
Gateway logic
Egypt: three Mediterranean ports, one Red Sea port and Cairo airport
Alexandria is Egypt's main Mediterranean gateway for containers and general cargo into Cairo and the Nile Delta. Damietta is a purpose-built container and transhipment port on the Delta coast. Port Said sits at the Mediterranean mouth of the Suez Canal and handles transhipment, free zone and SCZone traffic. Ain Sokhna on the Gulf of Suez serves Cairo and its industrial zone from the Red Sea side. Cairo International is where air cargo clears, with ACID filed before loading under the 2026 air mandate.
- Alexandria: containers and general cargo
- Damietta and Port Said: transhipment
- Ain Sokhna: Red Sea gateway
- Cairo International: air freight and ACID

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Clear answers for customers choosing a port, airport or office for their cargo.
Which Syrian ports does MIDTRANS work?
Latakia and Tartous. Latakia handles containers, breakbulk and project cargo with onward inland transport. Tartous is Syria's southern Mediterranean seaport, working bulk, breakbulk and project cargo for Homs and central Syria. Both are cleared and delivered with support from the Damascus office.
Where is the MIDTRANS head office?
The MIDTRANS head office is in Dubai, United Arab Emirates: Deira, Port Saeed, Al Makateb Building, Office No 611. The company was established in Damascus in 1998 and also has offices in Jebel Ali, Damascus, Tartous and Latakia, and a partner office in Guangzhou and Hong Kong. The Dubai office runs UAE bookings, the Jebel Ali warehouse and the clearance desk.
Which Egyptian gateways does MIDTRANS use?
Alexandria, Damietta and Port Said on the Mediterranean, Ain Sokhna on the Red Sea and Cairo International for air freight. Ain Sokhna suits cargo arriving from the Gulf without a Suez Canal transit; the Mediterranean ports serve Cairo, the Nile Delta and transhipment traffic.
Does MIDTRANS have offices or agents outside Syria, the UAE and Egypt?
Yes. MIDTRANS works with a partner office in Guangzhou and Hong Kong, and with approved agents in Houston and Toronto. Share the route and cargo facts through the quote request and MIDTRANS operations will follow up through official channels.
Which MIDTRANS office handles a shipment that touches Syria, the UAE and Egypt?
Each end is worked from the office that knows it. The Dubai head office runs UAE bookings, the Jebel Ali warehouse and the clearance desk. The Damascus office clears, documents and delivers inland for Latakia, Tartous and Damascus traffic. In Egypt the declaration is lodged by licensed Egyptian brokers and partners that MIDTRANS appoints and supervises, because MIDTRANS has no office there.
What should a request name so the right gateway is chosen?
The gateway if you already have one in mind, the cargo and how it is packed, and the final delivery point in Syria, the UAE or Egypt, all in one request. Location, trade lane and customs pages lead to the same reviewed quote, contact and WhatsApp channels, and the team replies as soon as possible.
