@@longtail7770 You are right, it is weird , i don’t know why they don’t take such steps,The overall public transport system in the GCC countries are very poor.
Also one other question, If i go for free visa on arrival I need hotel booking right? But if I want to stay at my relatives, is it better to pay and get visa via Hayya portal?
Hi Dear , sorry for late reply, 1- they don’t need RTA/any tourism certificate 2- i don’t have much info about haya card, And if you are traveling to your relatives, i suggest you go for visit visa instead of getting on arrival visa, because usually they ask for hotel booking for on arrival visa
Hotel booking is required to avail Free on arrival visa, Hotel booking will foe 2 days from official portal will cost you approximate 120-140 AED And this on arrival free visa is limited for few days only, if you are willing to take 30 days visa to they charge you AED 100 approximate as its visa fee. So better you check with your brother, if you can take the visa earlier and once you have visa, then you can go without hotel booking
@explorewithmunib27 what do u mean by one arrival visa? What if there is a family of 4 travellinf from dubai with a vaild residence visa? How much do they have to pay?
Bro as i said, if your family is uae residents so no matter how many family members you are, The Qatar on arrival visa is free of cost, no visa fee, only you have to pay for vehicle insurance
No, there is no restriction, I visited last year during the Eid al-Adha holidays as well, but try to leave early to avoid long delays at the border checking, because if you are entering the Saudi border for the first time, then they may take 1 to 2 hours, Have a safe trip
In this case you must have some official invitation from your family , btw still i suggest you can try first, but on qatar border if they still asked you for booking, you can do the booking that time
Thank you so much @explorewithmunib27 .Also I want to know if I will need a visit visa or a transit visa for Saudi Arabia? Because I will have to enter 2 times, once when I go for Qatar and once when I return to UAE. And what is the best way to apply for that transit visa?
For your vehicle, There’s no any additional charges in both borders other than car insurance, And UAE CARs are allowed to drive inside Saudi, Qatar & Bahrain , No problem

Informative video, brother, do you have any idea that if any traveller has a 1st degree family relationship, there in Qatar? In this case, do they still need hotel bookings?
Yes, it is possible to drive into Saudi Arabia with a rental car from the United Arab Emirates (UAE), but there are certain requirements that must be met. First, you must have a valid Saudi visa and the necessary paperwork for the rental car, including a letter from the rental company giving you permission to take the car across the border. It is also important to note that the car must be registered in the UAE and have a valid UAE registration and insurance. Additionally, certain types of vehicles, such as luxury cars, may be restricted, so it's important to check with the rental company and border officials before attempting to cross into Saudi Arabia.
