I have heard things about going by road to Umrah. Take this Tip seriously. If you are planning to take Umrah trip, go with 2-3 families as people already adviced nu others and if you are going alone, never stop your car in the middle of nowhere, when you see any arab guy signalling you to stop your car for some help. i heard of lately, that some people stop the car and once the driver gets out of the car to see (what happened), then suddenly, they will draw any weapon and ask you money, take your car, take your belongings or worse..
So if you are going alone, stop only in Fuel station or Hotels and not any other place. if needed, to stop your car, don't get down. I hope this tip will be useful for you.
We just recently travelled by road going to Bahrain and passing Saudi Arabia. All you need to do is to apply for a Saudi Visa in any of the authorized Umrah Travel agencies. Visa for each passport holder costs 150QR and you need to submit along a copy of your passport, marriage contract and an Arabic no objection letter from your company which includes the plate no. of the car you're going to use to travel. It is not that dangerous as long as you make sure that your car is perfectly in good condition to avoid breakdown along the way. Yes it is way more cheaper than air travel.
to the op...what is ur purpose of going saudi
Flat tyre etc. Engine problem. Getting lost.
I agree with Molten. Don't go alone. You need at least 3 cars.
galinda...what bad will happen
Don't drive there alone. It's not safe.
You need a group of 3 in case something bad happens.
thanks so much friends
Dear better to avoid travel with family by road way for your safety. but no more much formalities for pass through by car. should be check before clear if violence in your own car and your id.
Better form a group of atleast 3 cars .......

if it is your own car and if there is no loan from bank,then no documents needed..only you have to take visa for you..that enough..if there is loan from bank,then you have to take noc from bank and it should be stamped by traffic department...and travelling will take maximum 20 hours to reach makkah including your rest time..and it will take 8 hours to reach riyadh...
