I have just done it this summer

I drove to lebanon in june ,came back in august

roads are fine except some roads in jordan,but they are wroking on them i guess

it took me 33 hours,including a 6 hour sleep on the saudi jordanian border which i highly recommend doing cz you wont be able to continue to lebanon without any rest

you need a visa to go into saudi arabia that needs approx 2 weeks to be processed,and the other ones (jordanian and syrian visas) can be gotten on the border,but you have to pay

i had an irish friend with me,he had to pay 20 dollar approx. on each border

you have to know that in saudi arabia,the roads are a bit confusing(being changed all the time) so you have to plan it well before going,a gps would be perfect or a good map

finally dont take any girls with you cz they wont let them in to saudi arabia ;) (unless she is your wife )

if you want my personal opinion,fly there.cheaper, safer and less hastle

cheers

Distance from Jordan to Saudi Arabia approximately 2000 km

The distance from Saudi Arabia to Qatar in 1500 km

Roads are good at some of the services on the road

Old tired you need to rest many times
