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.
Route guide
From Kuwait City, Dubai is a long day south through Saudi Arabia. People book it to relocate to the UAE, to bring a car-load of luggage, or because they prefer the road to a flight. You leave Kuwait with your first driver, clear Nuwaiseeb and Al Khafji in person, then continue down through the Eastern Province. At Al Batha you change cars, cross to the UAE post by free shuttle bus or taxi and meet your Dubai driver.
Travel time & distance
Duration
~16–17 hours
Distance
~1,250 km
Allow roughly 16 to 17 hours. The Kuwait-Saudi crossing comes early in the day, the UAE-Saudi crossing near the end. Reaching Al Batha in the late afternoon can mean queues. After UAE entry there are still a few hours through Abu Dhabi emirate to Dubai, so expect a late-evening arrival.
Relocating to Dubai by car
For a move, a private car carries what a flight will not. An SUV or van takes the suitcases, boxes and children's things for the first weeks in Dubai, with no excess baggage charges. Child seats are free on request. Tell us roughly what you are bringing when you book, and we will suggest the right vehicle size. You arrive at the door of your new home or hotel, not an arrivals hall.
Border crossing process
Kuwait → Saudi Arabia → UAE
This route crosses 2 borders, each with its own arrangement. At Al Nuwaiseeb / Al Khafji: Your next driver meets you at the agreed handover point at the border. We confirm the exact point with you before the trip. At Al Batha / Al Ghuwaifat: Your first driver takes you to the exit post. After passport control, you cross to the other post by free shuttle bus or by taxi (about SAR 300-400, paid locally). Your second driver is waiting on the other side.

The UAE handover at Al Batha
Near the end of the journey, the car you have travelled in stops at the Al Batha exit post. After UAE entry, your Dubai driver is waiting. Keep passports, residence cards and visas together so the stop moves quickly.
Kuwait City collection, Dubai drop‑off
Your driver can collect you from a home, hotel or office in Kuwait City, Salmiya, Jabriya, Mangaf or Fintas, or from Kuwait International Airport (KWI). In Dubai we drop at Dubai International (DXB), Dubai Marina, Palm Jumeirah, Downtown, Business Bay, Al Barsha and Arabian Ranches.
