We never got to visit Saudi Arabia while living in the UAE, but once we moved to Qatar it was a must!

The visa process is very straightforward nowadays, but a bit pricy. You can only get 1 year visa, for about $142, or just a bit over a $100 if you are a GCC resident.

Saudi Arabia is massive, so we couldn’t see all and still have some places we would like to visit. Be prepared for a lot of driving on not so nice roads with a lot of crazy drivers!

It was our first Christmas living in Qatar and we fancied a road trip. Even though we “only” visited the southern part of SA, we finished driving at 5000 km!

We had a short holiday and wanted to go somewhere. However, we had issues with flights being cancelled, visas not issued, and so we used the opportunity to visit our neighbor.

Not bored to death yet?
