I don't think there exists any age limit for cars entering S Arabia but you must have insurance cover for S Arabia. I don't think you will be able to get comprehensive insurance due to the car being an old model. Possibly insurance cover may be different in this respect in S Arabia. You can check this out with some insurance companies in S Arabia such as Ace Insurance. Try discussing this with some Haj & Umrah agents here in Doha such as Cozmo Travel at 44073444 and they should be able to guide you better.
