Persian Gulf Closure: Midas Global launches Istanbul โ Aqaba (sea, 14 days) + road delivery to Kuwait, Qatar, UAE, Iraq in 2-3 days
๐ The Midas Hybrid Corridor
Our model combines the reliability of sea freight with the flexibility of regional road distribution. Cargo is shipped from Istanbul to Aqaba port โ a secure, internationally recognized gateway. After arrival, our local Aqaba agent handles customs and transshipment, delivering your urgent shipments to Kuwait, Qatar, UAE, and Iraq within only 2โ3 days. Compared to a pure overland route from Turkey, this sea-land alternative offers much more competitive freight rates while avoiding unstable land corridors.
โข Lower total freight cost compared to full road transport.
โข No transit through high-risk conflict zones.
โข Midas Globalโs own agent in Aqaba ensures fast handling.
โข Total lead time: 14 days sea + 2-3 days road = ~17 days door-to-door.

๐ก๏ธ Safety & Risk Avoidance
Unlike full overland alternatives that cross unstable areas, our sea leg (Istanbul-Aqaba) remains in international waters โ free from regional roadblocks or conflict zones. The final road distribution from Aqaba is managed under strict security protocols and insurance coverage. This gives you both lower freight rates and peace of mind.
