Route guide
Abu Dhabi to Kuwait is one of the longest single-day drives we run, roughly 1,150 km up the eastern side of Saudi Arabia. People book it to move house, to bring a car's worth of belongings without paying for excess baggage, or simply because they prefer the road. You leave from your door in Abu Dhabi, switch cars at the Saudi border, and reach Kuwait City around 15 to 16 hours later.
Travel time & distance
Duration
~15–16 hours
Distance
~1,150 km
Allow 15 to 16 hours. The two borders, Al Ghuwaifat on the way out of the UAE and Al Khafji into Kuwait, add the most uncertainty. Several rest stops break up the long Saudi stretch. Many travellers leave before dawn or overnight, so more of the driving happens in cooler, quieter hours.
Who drives to Kuwait instead of flying
- Families relocating with more luggage than an airline allows
- Passengers who dislike flying or want to avoid airport queues
- Groups who share one van, since the price is per vehicle rather than per seat
- Kuwaiti and Emirati families heading home for the holidays with gifts and shopping
- Anyone who wants to leave at night and sleep through much of the Saudi stretch
Border crossing process

After passport control, you cross to the other post by free shuttle bus or by taxi (about AED 300-400, paid locally). Your second driver is waiting on the other side. At Al Khafji / Al Nuwaiseeb: Your next driver meets you at the agreed handover point at the border. We confirm the exact point with you before the trip.

Crossing into Saudi Arabia and out again
The first change comes at Al Ghuwaifat. Your Saudi-side driver is waiting after entry and stays with you all the way north. At Al Khafji you clear Saudi exit, then Kuwaiti entry at Nuwaiseeb, before the last stretch into Kuwait City.
