I just went through this yesterday.

 

I think it is better to go to the Technical Inspection in the industrial area:

Use Google Earth and find the following cooridinates:

25deg 11' 28.40N

51deg 25' 55.22E

 

It is on 27th Street. Go to Gate #1. They are open Saturday - Thursday from 6:00am till 5:30pm.

 

Take a number when you get there. Go inside and pay 75 QR. Then go back outside and get your car into line for inspection. I found they do not call numbers. Just get in line the best you can. Drive up when they tell you to, then get out and go inside and wait by the "Report" window. Watch for your number to come up. Get your report, then drive through the lane where the policemen is and get his signature.

 

Then, if you have previously renewed the insurance, go inside building #2 and do the registration. Otherwise you will have to go get insurance renewed and then go for registration.

 

The one near Lulu Hypermarket is not so well organized with really long waiting times.

 

Hope this helps.
