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
Leaving the Eastern Province for Dubai, you head south-east to the Al Batha crossing, then on through Abu Dhabi to the city. A Saudi driver handles the first stretch. At the border you clear Saudi exit, cross to the UAE post by free shuttle bus or taxi, and a UAE driver picks you up for the rest of the way. Expat families heading to Dubai for a break, business travellers and people moving between the two cities all use it.
Travel time & distance
Duration
~9 hours
Distance
~850 km
Budget about 9 hours. The Saudi stretch to the border is mostly open highway, and the crossing typically takes 30 to 60 minutes. The final hour depends on Dubai traffic, so arriving outside the evening rush makes the last part quicker.
A weekend in Dubai from the Eastern Province
Plenty of Eastern Province residents go to Dubai for a long weekend. A private transfer spares you nine hours at the wheel and the border paperwork, and you arrive rested. Set off on a weekday morning to stay ahead of the weekend traffic at the crossing, or go overnight and wake up in Dubai. If your dates are fixed, book both directions at once.
Border crossing process
Saudi Arabia → UAE

Getting from Al Batha to Al Ghuwaifat
