Crossing From Qatar Into Saudi Arabia
- One border, two posts. Qatar's only land border is with Saudi Arabia: Abu Samra on the Qatari side, Salwa on the Saudi side. Your driver collects you in Doha, stops at both posts and drives on to your address.
- Documents for Saudi entry. Every passenger shows their own passport, plus the visa or residence permit Saudi Arabia requires for their nationality. Check the rules before you travel.
- Bring the luggage. Many of our Doha customers travel heavy: one trip carried 8 bags for two people. Tell us the bags and we send a car that fits them.
- Plan around the border, not the map. The drive is about 4 hours, but border time is not fixed. If you have a flight from Dammam or a train from Hofuf, tell us and we set the pickup with you.
