Delivery in Lebanon’s Mountains: Exact Locations, Smaller Vehicles and Two-Stage Delivery | 0551247117
Delivering shipments and furniture from Saudi Arabia to Lebanon's mountain areas — the Chouf, Aley, Metn and Keserwan: why we ask for a map location, two-stage delivery, and the effect of winter on the roads.
Lebanon is small but mostly mountainous, and many of its villages and towns — in the Chouf, Aley, Metn, Keserwan, Jbeil and elsewhere — sit on narrow, steep roads with tight bends unsuited to large trucks. Addresses in these areas are usually descriptive, not numbered. A large truck reaching a mountain village may be stuck in front of a tight bend. In this guide we explain how we deal with that before it happens: the exact location, the areas that need special arrangements, two-stage delivery, and the effect of winter.

Why we ask for a location, not an address
Addresses in Lebanon’s mountain areas and villages are descriptive by nature: “after the square”, “opposite the bakery”, “at the end of the road going up”. Locals understand them; a driver from outside doesn’t. A map location brings the team exactly there and lets us check the road before scheduling.
Areas that need special arrangements
| Area | Type | Arrangement |
|---|---|---|
| Chouf and Aley | Steep mountain roads | A smaller vehicle and daytime delivery. |
| Upper Metn, Keserwan and mountain Jbeil | Tight bends | Check the road before scheduling. |
| Old Beirut and Achrafieh | Narrow streets and scarce parking | A precise delivery hour. |
| The Bekaa and Zahle | Longer inland distances | Extra time stated in the quote. |
| The south and north | Varying distances and side roads | Confirm the road and location in advance. |
| The coast (Jounieh and Dbayeh) | Wider roads | Usually the easiest. |
What we need from you before shipping
What affects cost and timing
- The inland distance from the port or airport to the village.
- The need for a smaller vehicle or two-stage delivery.
- Carrying by hand over distance when no vehicle can reach the door.
- Large pieces that need dismantling to pass old stairs and doors.

Frequently asked questions
Do you deliver to mountain villages in Lebanon?
Yes, to most, sometimes with a smaller vehicle or two-stage delivery.
Why do you ask for a map location?
Because descriptive addresses aren’t enough for a driver from outside the area, and so we can check the road in advance.
Does two-stage delivery add cost?
Yes, and it is stated in the quote in advance.
Does winter affect delivery?
Rain and snow may postpone delivery on high ground, so we build a margin into the schedule.
Which areas are easiest to deliver to?
Usually the coast, such as Jounieh and Dbayeh, because the roads are wider.
What if no vehicle can reach the door?
The furniture is carried by hand from the nearest point, with large pieces dismantled where needed.
