Can you take a car purchased in doha to UAE?

My friends are planning on purchasing a used car here in Qatar and would like to know whether they can drive it through Saudi to Abu Dhabi (they are a married couple and of South African nationality). They are thinking of relocating there in the middle of next year, so will only buy a car here if they are able to drive it there. Also if anyone knows of any restrictions with this (such as the age of the car etc) I would appreciate your advice. I told them I would ask the good people at QL as you have so helpfully answered my questions to date - and for that I am very thankful :))))
Thanks once again.
yes of course they can but why they purshased a car in qatar even used UAE is cheapest QATAR is the most expensive khaleej country where the car are so expensive
