agree with Kawe !

You will have to wait for long hrs. at the borders especially at KSA & Dxb though u will be through from Qatar border within 15-30mins.

Best of Luck and have a safe journey.

Strongly advice not to visit UAE by car/road during Eid Ul Adha holiday. From my last year experience you may end up queue for more than 4 hours at borders esp. between KSA-UAE.

Have a nice trip!

It's not really sandstorm season over here. That's generally in the spring and early summer. You should be fine.

Check what the meteorologists are saying and assume the opposite

do occur. Just Drive Safe.

There is no direct link to UAE border from Qatar. Its via KSA. You need a transti visa for KSA. 126 KM from Salwa Border to KSA-UAE border. The road is not in good shape and a lot of heavy vehicles traffic.

There may be sandstorms or not. The only one who could tell you with an error margin of 15% would be a meteorologist. They can "predict" the weather for 3 or 4 days, if they're lucky.
