It will take roundly 8 hours, and borders to pass &waste time. IT's much better to leave the car here, go to Dubai by plane and rent a car in the airport.

Yes its very safe to drive and the road is fine but you will need to obtain entry visa for both UAE & Saudia

a friend of mine once went on a road trip to dubai. she said it was okay but a bit boring since it will take i think 8 hours to reach dubai by road. you have to procure a transit visa for saudi since you will be passing through their territory and of course you have to secure a visa to the UAE unless your work visa states that you are an accountant, engineer, etc. any work visa that entitles you to buy visa upon arrival in the UAE.

Its safe by road - no worry's.

If your visa status is good ( i.e engineer or manager ) than you will get the UAE visa on arrival .

you need to Apply for Saudi transit Visa @ 125 QR per person ( documents required are , NOC from the Sponcer , Copy of your Car registration )

and thats it you can go with your family to Dubai in your own car .

Its 700 KM from Doha -till Dubai & very good road
