I HAVE A 2006 MODEL CAR PUCHASED ON CASH. COULD ANY ONE TELL ME WHAT ARE THE PROCEDURS TO GO BY CAR TO DUBAI. ALL FAMILY MEMBERS ARE PLANNING TO GO. PLS HELP
infact we drowe straight to muscat the only border that took time was the UAE entry. we also drowe down to salalah from muscat. if u want to visit dammam check yr saudi transit will have a 3 days halt in saudi can do that too we went to riyadh on our way back.
the guys at UAE entry hardly know english & r tooooooooo..... lazy
first obtain a saudi transit visa round trip it will cost 75qr per person can have it done by the agent near sana r/a.
once that it done u can leave provided u have all the car papers in yr name with no bank loan.
PL CHECK WITH UAE EMBASSY IF U R ELIGIBLE FOR ENTRY VISA
at saudi entry point u will have to take car ins if u intend to stay over a week ask for a 15 days ins or u will have to take an ins again when u enter. the saudi stretch is 129 kms & u will reach the exit. not a prob they r fast.
u then enter UAE. u will need to go in to get yr visa fill the form wait in the queue & have it done. NOT TO FORGET THE EYE TEST it will be dont there. they will take anywhere from 45 mts to 150 mts. just yr luck( let us know how lucky u were).
dont forget to take an ins before u exit or u will be stopped at the gate.
its about 370 to 390 kms to abu dhabi. lovely road enjoy the ride. u have good petrol pumps to use the wash & have a snack.

H
u will have to go by road via saudi border
so u require saudi visa and then dubai visa
u can get visa on arrival provided u have all documents
since the car is in your name and u have all papers
it shud not be a problem
u can get the maps xeroxed from internet for shortest route
it will take about 7 - 8 hrs driving at 120 kms per hr
main time will go in saude border checkpoint
You could catch train number 666, then bus number 777, then trolly #13. They will take you somewhere in Qatar, Saudi then Dubai. J/k only.
That will be something to learn in how to do it....
