Baggage Shipping to Saudi Arabia

SendMyBag can send your luggage to your hotel in Saudi Arabia, so it is waiting for you on arrival. This means that you do not have to drag it on to public transport. This also means that you can sail through the airport without having to wait in line at bag drop or wait around at luggage carousels.

Note that the UK Foreign Office has issued warnings against travel in certain areas of Saudi Arabia, particularly in the border region with Yemen. Check your Foreign Office website before travelling.
