Why Saudi Arabia first?
Saudi Arabia combines pilgrimage volume with hotel growth.
View Full Specification Details
About 35.7 million Umrah performers were recorded in 2024, 16.9 million of them from abroad; official statistics count about 32 million in Q1, Q2 and Q4 of 2025 alone. About 94,500 of the roughly 126,000 new hotel rooms planned across the GCC by 2030 are in Saudi Arabia. In January–August 2026, Saudi hotel occupancy was down only about 3% year on year, against nearly 25% in the UAE.
Search demand is rising too: Saudi Google searches for “مناشف الاستخدام الواحد” (single-use towels) average about 6,600 a month, up 83% in a year (Google Ads data, October 2025 to September 2026).

Arabic/English labeling
We print Arabic and English on retail packs, pouches and cartons, from your text or our template.
View Full Specification Details
In the UAE, bilingual Arabic/English labels are required for registered cosmetic and personal-care products. For Saudi Arabia, confirm the required label content with your importer or customs broker.
A typical bilingual label carries: product name, size, piece count, fiber content, country of origin (“Made in China / صنع في الصين”), importer name and address, batch number and production date. We lay out Arabic text right to left and send a print proof for approval.
Modest packaging design
Show products flat, folded or as line drawings rather than photos of people; this matters most for briefs.
Use opaque or printed pouches for underwear, so kits can be handed out discreetly.
Keep wording plain and factual; avoid health or medical claims on travel kits.
Put size and count on the front panel in both languages, so pilgrims and housekeeping staff can pick the right pack quickly.
EXPORT FILING
Customs Import/Export Consignee Filing
SFDA / SABER notes
Which approvals apply in Saudi Arabia depends on each product’s HS code and its claims, so check every product before the first shipment. These notes are guidance, not certification advice; confirm with your customs broker or a SABER service provider.
SABER (SASO): products covered by a technical regulation need a Product Certificate of Conformity (PCoC) and a Shipment Certificate of Conformity (SCoC) for each shipment; since 2025, undertaking letters are no longer accepted for clearance. Textiles and clothing fall under SASO’s textile technical regulation, which requires test reports from ISO 17025 laboratories (e.g. formaldehyde and azo dyes). Whether disposable nonwoven towels and briefs are in scope must be checked by HS code on SABER.
SFDA: cosmetics such as wet wipes need notification in SFDA’s system (GHAD/eCosma) and a certificate of conformity before arrival. Medical devices need a medical device marketing authorization (MDMA) through a local authorized representative. SFDA runs a formal product classification procedure for borderline items such as wipes, cotton pads and swabs.
Halal: Saudi Arabia accepts halal certificates only from SFDA-recognized bodies; some cosmetic categories require one. Our products are 100% plant-derived cellulose or pure cotton with zero animal-derived inputs; halal material declarations are provided per shipment.
UAE: cosmetic and personal-care products sold in Dubai need Dubai Municipality Montaji registration (valid about 5 years) and a MoIAT conformity certificate (ECAS).
We supply test reports from ISO 17025 laboratories on request Batch COA, OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, SGS Fiber Composition & Microbiological Reports, our OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 product certificate, ISO 9001 certificate, commercial invoice, packing list and certificate of origin.

Shipping via Jeddah & Dammam
We quote CIF Jeddah or CIF Dammam.
View Full Specification Details
Jeddah, on the Red Sea, does not depend on the Strait of Hormuz, where traffic has been disrupted since March 2026; Dammam and other Gulf ports do. Jebel Ali’s container volume fell about 90% year on year in Q2 2026.
| Destination | Route | Typical sea transit from South China |
|---|---|---|
| Jeddah | Red Sea, port to port | About 16–28 days |
| Dammam | Gulf, via the Strait of Hormuz | About 20–28 days in normal conditions; variable in 2026 |
| UAE, Kuwait, Qatar | Gulf ports, or UAE east-coast ports with overland transfer | Variable in 2026 |
| Riyadh, Jeddah, Dubai | Air, door to door | About 3–7 days |
DP World has routed some UAE cargo through Fujairah and Khor Fakkan with overland transfer.
View Full Specification Details
Every quote carries a validity date and a routing clause, and your forwarder confirms the current route before booking. Production comes first: about 7 days for 1,000 packs of stock sizes. Plan pilgrimage-season stock early.

FAQ
Q1Can you deliver CIF Jeddah?+
Yes. We quote CIF Jeddah and CIF Dammam, with a validity date and routing clause because Gulf shipping has been disrupted in 2026. Jeddah, on the Red Sea, does not depend on the Strait of Hormuz.
Q2Do disposable towels need a SABER certificate in Saudi Arabia?+
It depends on the HS code. Products under a SASO technical regulation need a PCoC and a shipment certificate (SCoC) on SABER. Whether disposable nonwoven towels and briefs are in scope must be checked by HS code before shipping.
Q3Can you print Arabic labels?+
Yes. We print Arabic and English on packs, pouches and cartons, laid out right to left, and send a proof for approval. Have a native speaker or your importer check the final Arabic text.
Q4Do you make Umrah kits?+
Yes. We assemble travel kits with disposable briefs, a bath towel and a compressed towel in one pouch, and can add other items from our range. Kits can carry your brand in Arabic and English.
Q5Do your products have halal certification?+
Halal certification matters mainly for formulated products such as wet wipes; Saudi Arabia accepts certificates only from SFDA-recognized bodies. Our status: 100% plant-based and alcohol-free formulations with full ingredient & material declarations.
Q6Do you ship to the UAE, Kuwait and Qatar?+
Yes, by sea or air. Gulf routes through the Strait of Hormuz have been disrupted in 2026, so we confirm the route and transit time with each quote.
Q7Is there an Arabic version of your website?+
Yes. Our main product, OEM, factory, certification and contact pages are available in Arabic at /ar/.
