Will you be still on the UAE visa or you will get the Qatar Resident Permit once you move in??
If U will be on Qatar visa and you get your car with Dubai nr. plate, you can drive the car thru Saudi but,
1. I doubt if the UAE insuarance will be valid. You need to buy a Saudi Transit insuarance + Qatar Insuarance, both will be temporary and you need to keep renewing them, as your car is UAE registered. After Dubai registration expires it will be a waste as it cannot be then transferred to Qatar registration and also it cannot be renewed at UAE as your UAE visa would have been cancelled when you move on to Qatar visa.
2. If you want to get it transferred to Qatar registration, then you need to get an export nr. plate from Dubai police+the transit insuarances.
I learn that any vehical older than 5 years cannot be imported into Qatar. Even if you manage to get it to Doha, it will be subject to passing the technical inspection at the traffic dept.
I have a 2002 model car in Duabi & I am struggling to get it to Doha, since last 7 months!!
If you discover any news that might help me too, then please post me your findings and I will too.
