Giza pyramids at golden sunset on the Nile
An identity that ships in every crate

For five thousand years Egypt has exported: papyrus, linen, gold and wheat.

We don't just ship goods — we ship a story. Every crate carries the seal of a civilisation that mastered craft long before the word "export" existed.

West Bekia is an Egyptian export house based in Alexandria. We connect verified factories — cotton of Giza, citrus of the Delta, Galala marble, dates, garlic and handmade crafts — with importers in Europe and the Gulf, handling verification, quality control, documentation, sea freight and bank payments under documentary credit, from the first inquiry until the container reaches your warehouse.

Egyptian export products: cotton, citrus, dates and marble
Why source from Egypt

Five sectors where Egypt leads the world

Egyptian long-staple cotton is a global benchmark for luxury textiles; the Nile Delta supplies Europe with oranges, garlic and IQF strawberries all season; Galala marble and Sinai granite cover towers from Dubai to Berlin; Medjool dates and molokhia travel in reefer containers daily; and hand-made kilim rugs carry five millennia of craft. Through West Bekia you reach these factories directly — with QC inspection, export documentation and documentary-credit payment handled by our crew in Alexandria.

We quote FOB, CIF and EXW, prepare the bill of lading, certificate of origin and EUR.1 movement certificate, and insure your cargo door-to-door. Use the calculator above for a live estimate, then request a binding quote from the crew.

UCP 600

Payment — the Documentary Credit

Egyptian obelisk with hieroglyphs — trust carved in stone

The Letter of Credit (L/C) is the safest bridge between you and the Egyptian factory: your bank pays only when shipping documents prove the cargo is on board.

For an importer, that means zero advance-payment risk. For the factory, a bank's guarantee instead of a stranger's promise. West Bekia stands between the two: we draft the proforma, align the L/C clauses with the production timeline, and pre-check every document against UCP 600 rules so the bank honors it on first presentation.

1

Contract & proforma

We sign a proforma invoice with the factory on your behalf — product, quantity, price, Incoterm and latest shipment date.

2

Your bank opens the L/C

You apply for a documentary credit at your bank; it travels by SWIFT to the advising bank in Egypt.

3

Production & shipment

The factory produces under our supervision, cargo is inspected and loaded at an Egyptian port within the L/C validity.

4

Documents to the bank

Bill of lading, certificate of origin, packing list, invoice & inspection certificate are presented — our team pre-checks every line.

5

Bank checks & pays

If documents comply, the issuing bank pays at sight (or at the agreed usance). You take the documents and clear your cargo.
