GCC nationals seem to be able to drive from Dubai to Doha, but can Westerners/Asians (expats on UAE residence visas) do the same?
Although the UAE and Qatar are near each other, I understand that one currently has to drive thru a small part of KSA after leaving the Western part of the emirate of Abu Dhabi. Has anyone on the forum (non-GCC) actually done that?
Can I get a Saudi transit visa at the border? Or, does that have to be arranged in advanced? I understand that getting visas to visit (or even pass thru) KSA is often hard for Westerners or Asians while visas for Qatar don't seem to be such a problem.
Also, any ideas about car insurance, etc. for such a trip?
Any information would be appreciated.
