Al Khor to Dukhan road

Anyone who travels from Al Khor to Dukhan or vice versa? What's condition of the road like? Is it a busy road? And I was wondering how safe it would be like to be travelling alone, esp. for a female driver. Appreciate any response.

Joan you get on North road dont drive towards doha drive towards north about 15km you will notice a Petrol pump and Police Station on your left side there is a turn to Zubara before the police station.

Get on that Road to Zubara keep Driving till you see another left turn Ghawriya its a on that road keep Driving till you reach the dead end thats IN Jamiliya take right go straitght for 2 minutes another dead end take left turn there and drive for 25min its a free road with no heavy traffic on it you will land on Dukhan Road you take right turn and Dukhan is just 10mins away from you.

That all Drive will take you around 70-80min.

If you go via Doha will take you long 2 hours for sure.

All of the above are talking about Al khor to Dukhan Via Doha but I remember there is a direct route to Dukhan from Al Khor through Jamaliya which is shorter and around 45 minutes drive.

Those who said it takes 2 hrs to get to Dukhan from Doha were wrong. However, the drive itself is boring. It was safe even on the previous service road but now that most of the road works is near completion, driving there should be fun. I myself would go to Dukhan very soon before chilling winter begins...lol

I am travelling to Dukhan and back to Doha on a daily basis and I don't find any problem with that. In fact the road is much more convenient now that they have finished most of the road works. But I'd like to know the road condition from Al Khor to Dukhan and back to Al Khor. I understand that it would take almost the same time like Doha-Dukhan...thanks

Its a very long drive...Whew! thinking of it makes me feel lazy and sleepy! The road going to dukhan is under construction so you should be extra cautious on driving specially at night.becoz there are some areas w/o lights.

It is safe for everyone,but like i said just be careful. And yeah i also suggest that if you'll do this everyday,might as well move in to dukhan or at least doha...You are talking about approximately 150-160kms kms drive in one way alone!

It will take u like 2 hours.

U have to take the North Road or the one to Golf club first, then drive doha to Dukhan.

Depends on the hours you may will get some traffic.

Are you planning to do this every day or just one weekend??? if its everyday move from Al Khor.

There is no problem for female drivers, I believe you drive better than any of those bus drivers or pick up drivers...
