Am planning to drive my car with household items to Qatar. Anybody can help me for the followings?
Sure, no problem...
Anybody has road map or important turning points from Sila to Qatar?
After entering Saudi Arabia go straight... Then after a while you will get to a round about, turn right (it's only a choice of right (To Qatar), or left (To the rest of Saudi Arabia/Bahrain/Kuwait ... ) Please be careful, beware of the big trucks)
Is there any duty on household items?
It depends on the quantity, if it's not a commercial quantity(too much) you wouldn't normally pay anything.
How long it takes from Abu Dhabi?
It depends on how fast you drive, and the delays at the borders, I'd say between 6 and 8 hours...
Saudi transit validity and can I get it from Abu Dhabi?
48 hours each way,and yes.
What are the paper works, customs etc?
The husband will need to travel alone, and then sponsor the wife... This could take a month or more.
Once reached Qatar, how long it takes to register the vehicle, insurance etc?
Less than a week. But you need to change the car license to an export license, with a special "export" number plate.
Do I need insurance while travelling?
You will need to pay SR70 in Saudi Arabia as car insurance, and something at the Qatari border.
It could be easier to use a company to help you with this...
