My Mother came to visit qatar and me n mah mother planned to go by car to umrah. It was a short stay and after 20 days we left doha for umrah.Plan was to send off my mom from jeddah airport and myself to return to doha by car.I did not do a re entry as she was not returning to doha.

when time came for departure, immigration officials in jeddah stopped saying that mahram should travel along and my mom cant fly alone... i have my car in makkah and now presently waiting for a solution....

beware.. plan before umrah trip.. enquire all points.. my agent who stamped umrah visa did not tell me the mahram travelling with issue...

If i exit with my mom to india as we are indians.. what will happen to my car? how can i take it back??..

Solutions welcome

When you were applying for the Hajj visa you should have enquired about everything you needed to know.Many travel agents don't explain much to their clients.

Saudi Arabia strictly NEVER allow any female to travel anywhere without a Mahram.

Insha ALLAH everything will be fine.

It was a miraculous Help from Allah that I am back with my mom to Qatar. Umrah Hajj Agents should update themselves before giving any information to travelers...

Insha allah everything will be OK.

Dont bother. Even 1 or 2 days extra after reentry can be fixed with a penalty.

Letus hope for a fast solution.

Better solution is this that you should try for a re entry visa,

Assalam alakum, try to find a family wo is comming back from Umrah and if there is any extra driver with them , he can take your car back to Qatar,

OR

ask some one here in Doha to go to Qatar immigaration and ask them for a reentry visa, they will just add it in their system , then take your mother back to doha and she can fly back to india from Doha,

You should have made enquiry before you travel by Car . Any how you can get the car by a driver who has no restriction of Visa . There are some people who do this Job and they charge for this... Or you can send your car by Truck as a Cargo .....

that was your mistake...you should have applied for a re-entry for your mother...yes this is right...your mother can not travel without a mahram...this is the rule there

do you have a relative in saudi...Your mother can stay with them

Or keep your car in saudi...go with your mother to the original destination..come back to saudi and take your car
