Sana’a is the largest city in the country Yemen and has a population of nearly 2 million residents. People from around the world visit the city each year to take in the beautiful scenery and historical architecture that boasts high rise buildings with outstanding geometric design and structure. Living in the city will require the use of a personal car as public transportation, while available, is limited and can often run slowly. In order to have a car moved to Sana’a from the United States you will need to hire a professional automobile transport company that has extensive experience with transporting motor vehicles to Arab countries. Laws and regulations for automobile import to Sana’a and other areas in Yemen are very stringent and require following the law precisely.

Transport to Sana’a.
Transporting a car from the United States to Sana’a, Yemen can be done by the sea with either RORO or Container shipping transport. RORO is a simple mode of transport used to ship motor vehicles overseas. Cars of all kinds are rolled onto the RORO deck and then secured in order to transport the motor vehicle overseas. Once the RORO ship arrives at the port in Sana’a the motor vehicle can be rolled off the ship and taken through the customs check for clearance. RORO is the less expensive of the two types of sea transportation for motor vehicles. If you need to ship items other than your car, or if you need some added protection and security during transportation, containerized shipping is the best option to choose. Using a container will allow you to load items along with the car during transport. Some containers are climate controlled and padded for more secure transport.
