I want to go to Saudi Arabia to perform Umra and want to take my car with me. What are the requirements to take car across the country? Also is it right decision to take a car, rather than going by Bus, as this is the first time for me to go by road to Saudi Arabia. I exactly dont know the roads.

TRAVELLING BY CAR IS QUITE EASY, AFFORDABLE AND ENJOYABLE. BUT A BIT EXPENSIVE COMPARING TO BUS TRAVEL. BUT THIS IS QUITE EASY AND FOR THE ROADS THESE ARE EXCELLENT. YOU WILL HAVE TO RECHECK YOUR VEHICLE BEFORE TRAVELLING. ESPECIALLY THE TYRES. AND EVEN IF YOU DON'T KNOW THE ROUTES, JUST NO PROBLEM (EITHER TAKE GPS OR YOU WILL HAVE TO TRAVEL ON THE HIGHWAY STRAIGHT. AND YOU CAN ASK ANYONE ON THE GAS STATION IN THE WAY, THEY WILL GUIDE YOU.

TRAVELLING ON YOUR OWN CAR WILL BE A GREAT EXPERIENCE.

HAVE A NICE TRIP

THANKS

ASSALAM O ALAIKUM,

FOR YOUR QUESTION.

YOU ARE REQUIRED TO GET THE VISA THROUGH OFFICE OF ANY TRAVEL AGENT ARRANGING UMRAH. YOU REQUIRED TO PROVIDE:

1. YOUR PASSPORT

2. FAMILY PASSPORT/S (IF THEY ARE TRAVELLING)

3. COMPANY LETTER (NOC)

4. VEHICLE DETAIL (IT SHOULD BE IN YOUR NAME)

5. SUBSCRIBED FEE

ONCE YOU WILL GET THE VISA GET THE EXIT PERMIT AND SIMPLY DRIVE YOUR CAR TO ABU SAMRA. ON THE BORDER YOU HAVE TO GET THE INSURANCE COVER FOR YOUR CAR (2 WEEKS - ONE MONTH) AND PERFORM YOUR UMRAH.

THANKS

firs of all you need a paper from your company or sponsor

to allow you travelling by road then you apply your papers along with a copy of your car registration and original passport +150 qr.s you will give it to tourist office who will apply to Saudi embassy .

my advice to you to travel by bus because the way to Mekka

IS AROUND 1800 KM AND YOU should be expert driving in high way .

regards
