Sales channels

We supply approved exempt channels only

Our tobacco is not duty-paid, so sales are restricted to licensed exempt operators and export channels — we do not supply the Egyptian domestic retail market.

01

Vessels

Bonded stores supplied direct to ships transiting the Suez Canal and Egyptian ports.

02

Ship chandlers

Supply to licensed ship-chandling companies nationwide.

03

Duty-free outlets

Airport and seaport duty-free stores.

04

Land borders

Duty-free and customs-exempt outlets at Egypt’s land border crossings.

Uniform pricing policy: Every company holding a bonded warehouse in an Egyptian port is supplied at one fixed price — this keeps the channel orderly, prevents undercutting and preserves the brand owner’s price positioning.

Why Al-Ahed Group

Four reasons we are the fastest partner on the Suez Canal

01

Up to 25% lower

Our pricing runs up to 25% below the lowest price available in any other world port, because we sell direct from the bonded warehouse with no intermediaries.

02

One licence, every port

A single licensed operator covering the Red Sea, the Suez Canal and the Mediterranean — one contract, one accountable counterparty.

03

Carton-level traceability

Every carton released is tied to an approved order, customer, channel and proof of delivery — a clean audit trail.

04

Fast vessel delivery

Our warehouse sits inside the free zone at the southern gateway, so vessels are supplied inside the transit window.
