Two-Vehicle Border Service
Your first driver takes you to the Saudi exit post at Al Batha. After passport control, you cross to the UAE post at Al Ghuwaifat by free shuttle bus or taxi, and your second driver is waiting on the UAE side.
What clients say
“From scheduling to pickup to drop off the service was five stars all the way. I used them for a long trip between UAE and Saudi and everything, including the border car switch, was arranged and went smoothly.”
Route guide
Many people booking Al Khobar to Dubai live in Khobar or the Dhahran compounds and want a long weekend in the Emirates without the airport. Others are relocating and have more bags than any airline allows. It is about 850 km and roughly 9 hours. Your Saudi driver collects you at home and heads south to Al Batha. Once you have cleared both posts, crossing between them by free shuttle bus or taxi, a UAE driver takes you to your door in Dubai.
Travel Time & Distance
Duration
~9 hours
Distance
~850 km
Plan on around 9 hours door to door. The border is the part that moves most: a quiet weekday can be quick, a holiday weekend slower. An early start from Khobar usually means a calmer crossing and an arrival in Dubai before the evening traffic.
Relocating from the Eastern Province
- Book the van if you have several large cases, boxes or a pushchair
- Keep documents, chargers and medication in one bag you carry through the border
- Child seats are free on request, so tell us how many you need
- Treat it as a full travel day and keep the evening in Dubai free
Border Crossing Process
Saudi Arabia → UAE
This route involves a coordinated border crossing between the UAE and Saudi Arabia. Passengers are required to exit the vehicle and complete immigration and customs procedures in person. We arrange vehicles on both sides of the border to ensure a smooth and efficient transfer.
- 1Arrive at the Saudi exit checkpoint at Al Batha - passports stamped out
- 2Cross the border zone to the UAE entry checkpoint at Al Ghuwaifat
- 3UAE entry visa processed
- 4Vehicle inspection and customs clearance
- 5Continue through Abu Dhabi to Dubai
A second vehicle with a fresh driver will be waiting after the border to continue your journey. The entire process is coordinated in advance to minimise waiting times and ensure a seamless experience.
What happens at Al Batha
Your Khobar driver stops at the Saudi exit post at Al Batha. After UAE immigration and customs, your second driver is waiting on the other side. Keep passports and any visa printouts in a hand bag rather than in a suitcase.
Collected in Al Khobar, delivered in Dubai
We collect anywhere in Al Khobar, from the Corniche and Al Olaya to Al Rakah, Al Aqrabiyah and the Half Moon Bay area, plus Dhahran. In Dubai we drop off at homes and hotels in Downtown Dubai, Dubai Marina, Palm Jumeirah or Business Bay, or at Dubai International (DXB) for an onward flight.
