Doha, Qatar: Embarking on a road trip from Qatar to Saudi Arabia promises an exhilarating and culturally immersive adventure as you traverse breathtaking landscapes, historical landmarks, and modern marvels.

This remarkable journey not only connects two nations but also grants a unique glimpse into the essence of the Arabian Peninsula, granting access to other countries within the GCC family.

Commencing at the Abu Samra border crossing, the primary checkpoint between Qatar and Saudi Arabia, the approximately six-hour drive from Doha to Riyadh takes you on a captivating voyage through time and diverse terrains. This unforgettable expedition is brimming with cultural revelations and natural wonders.

It comes as no surprise, then, that many citizens and residents of both countries hold a deep fondness for embarking on this road trip, despite its longer duration and slight inconvenience compared to air travel. The allure of the exciting experiences encountered along the way makes it a preferred choice for those seeking a truly remarkable journey.

Speaking to The Peninsula recently, Yassin Aman Mohamed Al Jabarti, the Director of Gulf African Business Representation (GABR) Qatar, a consummate businessman who regularly shuttles between Qatar and Saudi Arabia, noted that he had previously not been a fan of long-distance driving; however, he is enjoying the experience of driving between Qatar and Saudi Arabia in recent times.
